I have just finished my career within the royal marines, and am now waiting for my firefighting training to begin in September. Until then I want to fill my days with walking as many dogs as possible! To both keep my fitness up as well as making new friends

Information Thomas B. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know diet control, exercise routine, goals, tricks and discipline levels ect. But nothing I'm sure you wouldn't tell me already. Look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

A typical day

I live very close to the peaks, so will often take my dogs up there to help me get my steps in, and offer the dogs a new, exciting taste of adventure

Dog Walking: Trusted Care from an ex Royal Marine,

Pet care experience

As a former Royal Marine and current firefighter, I bring a high level of fitness, discipline, and reliability to everything I do—including caring for your dog. I owned two dachshunds for nearly three years, so I understand the responsibility and joy that comes with looking after pets. My shift pattern is four days on, four days off, which means my availability can vary slightly week to week, but I always communicate clearly and show up on time. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every walk as a chance to give your dog a safe, structured, and fun experience.

Everything went without a hitch. Tom is a helpful and friendly guy who Sully got on very well with...I'm sure the nice long walk helped. Would definitely use again.

Tom has looked after not only my two lovely dogs but also my mother’s dog as I recommended him to her and she was very very happy and satisfied with his care towards her Labrador ‘Freddie’. He not only takes my dogs out for 1.5-2 hours every day but he also provides enrichment activities such as playing tug of war with them and providing them chews, he then also bathes them if they are too muddy so that my dogs don’t ruin my carpets and sofa. Tom looks after them as if they were his own and truly provides them a safe and loving environment. Out on a walk he ensures their safety by recognising when other dogs are going to be too bouncy or playful and so puts my two dogs on a lead and avoids them so they don’t tell the bouncy dogs off as they are grumpy towards lively dogs.

Tom looked after my Dachshund for a week, during that time I got lots of pics and updates. He was looked after and loved like one of his own and taken on lovely walks with Toms own dogs, who were a great influence on my young dog and helped him gain more confidence. I highly recommend Tom and will definitely use him again in future.
