I am recently married and my wife Deb has been watching dogs on Rover as well so we have now joined forces. We are both home during the day as I'm a remote worker and she watches dogs as her main job. My 23 year old Son also assists, and he is in college and does online school is also available for drop in visits/daily walks.

Information Thomas A. would like to know about your pet

The dogs I take must get along with other dogs, as I board a few dogs from time to time, especially on the weekends and holidays.

A typical day

I like to throw a ball with dogs, or take them for a walk. Being a remote worker I have a lot of free time.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs most of my life. I have done pet sitting for family and friends. One unique experience I have is that I would drive dogs down to Florida for "Snow Birds" who would travel to the Sunshine state for the winter, and then I would fly back home. In the Spring I would fly down to Florida and drive the dogs back to their home. In both cases I was with the dogs for several nights. My Son who is 23 in College also assists and is available for drop in visits/walks for you dogs.

Deb & Thomas were amazing! They were quick with responses. They sent videos of my dog & looked so happy & looked like he was having the time of his life!

Great care and great communication. Next time we need a sitter, this is who we will choose.

Our dogs are a little needy (like attention, get nervous around other dogs) but Tom and his family made them feel right at home!

Our pup stayed with the wonderful Deb and Tom again. We loved the consistent updates and seeing how happy Beya was in her “summer camp”. Beya is older and has special needs, but we will always feel confident in having Deb and Tom watch over her. Thank you again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
