Pet care experience

Welcome To The Doghouse!

I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t had at least 4 or 5 dogs around me. My family calls me a dog whisperer. Me and dogs just.. understand each other… I think they read the “grandparent” energy I have for them! Every dog loves me because I take care of them and listen to them. I have a beautiful 5 acres and the house for them to stay in and also a 1,200 square foot air conditioned clean garage for them to play in as well as a good yard and a perfect place to walk them if anyone likes their dogs to have extra walks. I’d love to take care of your babies for any reason! I’m pretty flexible so just let me know what you have in mind.

Boarding • Sep 02, 2026

Sitter was very communicative during my dogs stay. He said she loved laying on the couch cuddling. When we picked up though, she had 2 huge raw spots underneath her collar that ended up being severe hot spots. I know that he could not have prevented these, but it was worrisome because he had no idea they were there but they were so noticeable that I noticed them while putting her in the car. We took her straight to the vet and they had to shave and clip her entire jaw/neck area.

Thomas was great. My family will be booking him again in the near future. He was quick to respond, and the drop off went very well!

My small dogs were pampered and well cared for. Thomas worked with them to be comfortable around the other dogs and he provided good communication and updates. We will definitely board with him again!

Best dog sitter ever! first time leaving my girls and they had a blast! i left my 3 dogs with him for a week and they LOVED him, they usually scared of other people and get a lot of anxiety but they had a great time staying with him, i loved the reassurance and the daily updates, i would definitely recommend him, so glad we found an incredible person to take care of my dogs, definitely booking again!!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for all animals as if they were my own babies. Animals have this pure energy that comes from them and we just understand each other. I love playing with and being around the animals and they love to be around me the same way. I make sure to be careful about leaving dogs unattended I always assure safety first. But a close second to safety is freedom. They love feeling free. And I offer them that safely.

A typical day

The activities we do will completely depend on the dog and the owner. Some people don’t like their dogs getting too much exercise or getting too hot. Some people don’t want their dog on the couch. Some people don’t care. On the other hand some dogs like the couch some just want to lounge with you some want space some want to play outside. Some like fetch some want to wrestle with you 😂. It’s all completely dependent on the dog and the person but we will enjoy ourselves!

It’d be nice to know if they are generally good around other dogs but I’m pretty good at reading dogs quickly and introducing them to others. Let me know detailed instructions on anything you WANT or else I may not do it how you intended. I will follow any owner instructions though!
