Tom is awesome. My dog had a minor medical issue and was in pain. Tom and his wife took Boo to a vet in the middle of the night to take care of him. Can't thank them enough for what they did! I highly recommend Tom to anyone who needs a sitter.

Tom has been great with our medium/large dog who can be high energy at times. He is super responsive in his communication and sends updates and photos. Would highly recommend.

Thomas was an excellent dog sitter! He took great care of Penny, he kept me updated, and sent pictures while we were away. I would definitely use him again. Thank you!!

Thomas took great care of our doggo! She got along great with his dog and seemed to be having a great time in our absence. We’d gladly have him watch her again!

Schedule

I am working part-time from home so I have plenty of focus available for your pet! I typically find time a few hours each day to be outdoors so this is a natural routine for me.

Where your pet will stay

Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog, 1 cat
Children 0-5 years old
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Safety, trust & environment

Walking: I always check weather reports before taking dogs for a walkto determine water needs as well as ensuring the pavement will not be too hot for their paws. I prefer routes that take us to parks or less trafficked side streets.

Pets

A typical day

I have a fenced in backyard where the dogs can play fetch, chase, tug, or just sun bathe! If the weather is poor, they can still be active inside but I tend to supplement it by providing stimulating training sessions, typically focusing on reinforcing existing commands.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Thomas can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if your pet has special dietary restrictions, allergies, or other concerns. If they have any problem behaviors (chewers, nervous peeing, high prey drive, etc), I'd like to know in advance so I can adequately prepare the space.
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.
