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.

Information Thomas D. would like to know about your pet

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!

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!

Welcome To The Doghouse!

Pet care experience

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.

My dogs had a great time, which let me relax on my vacation. I’ll definitely take them back to Thomas next time I travel.

After a bad feeling at a boarding facility, we have not left our 3 dogs with anyone in 3 years. After the initial meet-&-greet with Tom, we had a sense that he understood our dogs. He has a dog-whisperer quality about him. He was able to easily socialize our dogs with other dogs, which we very much appreciated. Tom provided updates and videos throughout the stay. Upon return, as we chatted with Tom, it was obvious he had paid attention to our dogs as the details aligned with the behaviors of our dogs. We are relieved to have found Tom and will definitely use him in the future.

Lulu always has the best time boarding with Thomas. She loves to run and play in the fenced yard with the other pups.
