We can't say enough about how wonderful Tom was with our pups. Sasha and Reggie are 100 lb Bernese Mountain Dogs. Our vacation was planned for a year and Tom was booked for a month. Just before we left they developed pretty severe GI issues. Tom was OK with staying even with the issues. We started them on home cooked Bison and potato on the advise of their vet. Tom cooked potatoes and bison for each meal. Gave them their new meds and did the slow change to include the new kibble they were eventually started on. We were gone for 17 days and never could have enjoyed our European trip without knowing that Tom was taking such good care of our babies. Additionally each needed to be walked separately since they are too much to handle together. We don't have a fenced in yard so every 4 hour walks is their norm. Tom kept us updated regularly about the state of their poops and overall health, sent lots of pictures and loved our babies. I can't recommend him more highly. He is amazing.

Tom and Tommy (dog) did great together! Our boy is a bit difficult, food aggressive and territorial..and 16 yrs old. Tommy re-developed an ear infection while we were gone, and Tom took care of that with eardrops that we had at the house. We appreciated not having to worry about our dog or our house while we were gone. Would definitely use him again.

Thomas and Cody get along great. Thomas helped Cody get a stick out of his mouth, as it was stuck across the roof of his mouth. Great job!

It is important to understand the unique behaviors of your dog and their likes and dislikes. Do they prefer slow meandering walks or jogs? Do they interact well with other dogs / animals? Are they a runner?
