This is my career choice I am 56 yrs old. Pet care is my normal routine. It flows naturally in me the results are so amazing seems each dog is learning better on each walk. If in home long term care is needed I will bring my own dog for security and health purposes. She is a Service Dog by the way.🙈

Safety, trust & environment

Summer walks done right. I use a laser thermometer to check pavement temps, map the coolest shaded routes, and prioritize your dog’s safety every step of the way. I recommend protective shoes and offer training so your dog can wear them comfortably. I also use a mobile cooling unit to respond immediately to any signs of heat stress. Calm leadership, clear communication, and safety—every walk.

Information Thomas B. would like to know about your pet

Please share your dog’s behavior, energy level, leash manners, and any triggers or medical needs. In Arizona heat, let me know their heat tolerance and paw sensitivity. I recommend shoes and can help train them. The more I know, the better I can keep your dog safe and comfortable!

A typical day

My day revolves around structured walks, calm leadership, and focused training sessions. I start with exercise and pack walks, followed by behavioral conditioning using silent commands and gestures. Each session is recorded in daily video logs so owners can see real progress while their dogs build confidence, discipline, and trust. 🐕‍🦺

MORE THAN A WALKER... A K9 HANDLER

Pet care experience

It feels like the first time—because it is. I'm building Elite K9 Care on my own, one dog, one client, and one success story at a time. I've always believed the coolest teacher teaches the best. I'm not a square. I'm streetwise, patient, and I work with dogs where real life happens—not just in perfect conditions. Being autistic has also given me a unique advantage. I tend to notice small changes in behavior, body language, and patterns that others might miss. It helps me connect with dogs on their level and adapt my approach to what each dog needs to succeed. My goal isn't just obedience. It's building trust, confidence, and a stronger bond between dogs and their people. Every dog deserves to be understood, and every owner deserves a trainer who truly cares.

My dog loves him, which is a must for me, and Thomas has been very willing to work with me to give her outings without overworking her while she's recovering from surgery. I especially appreciated his willingness to come on short notice.

Thomas is great with my dog. She's been injured, and he has found ways to provide her with entertainment and diversion even when she's not up to long walks or running. She is always happy to see him, and happy and chill when she comes home 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.
