Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Thomas! As a dog watcher, you can trust me when I say I will care for your dog like I’ve care for my own - with the utmost love and attention possible. I am the proud owner of Dug the dog, a 2 year old golden retriever who I love more than anything in the world! I have gained so much experience of taking care of a dog, specifically a puppy, even in the two short years of having Dug. I grew up with a golden retriever, Australian Shepherd, and a black lab. One of my favorite things in and post college was dog sitting and walking for literally any type of pup or dog. I really can’t get enough of them. I work from home and have tons of flexibility to be able to take your dogs on walks to stretch their legs, play with them/feed them during the day when needed, and am happy to host them in my home. Dug is crazy friendly and would always love a buddy to hang out with! I went to UW Madison and received a bachelors degree in Finance. I now work as a reporting analyst for a recruiting firm. In my free time I like to run, take Dug to the park, and read. I live across the Smith Street bridge in west Saint Paul. Only the best views for your pup :)

Thomas was super easy to work with me stayed calm in the face of my puppy’s overly enthusiastic greeting. Cosmo was well taken care of and I’d certainly use Thomas again.

Thomas was a great sitter at our house while we were out of town! He took extremely good care of our dog, Tia, which included walks and trips to the dog park. Thomas also brought his dog, Dug, along as well, who was very gentle and a wonderful companion to Tia. Thomas was great at communicating with us, sent us pictures and even cleaned up the house before he left. We will definitely book him again, and we highly recommend him!

Thomas has walked my pup twice now, and he’s been great both times! Including a day-of booking, which was a life saver during a busy work day. My dog came back tired and happy!
