I am a PhD student/ RA in a lab environment so visits and such can fit into my schedule when they are needed if given an appropriate (2-3 days) warning as my work can be flexible. If short term care is needed I have plenty of time before or after my working hours in the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I am a big fan of a meet and greet before our first individual visit to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am very good with details given about visits and communicating with the owner about how it went, adjusting the visits accordingly to make sure the pet feels as safe and loved as possible when you are away!!

Information Thomas E. would like to know about your pet

Any dietary requirements or medications I can follow precisely, I am comfortable administering anything that you are comfortable allowing me to. The more info the better in terms of behavior and favorite activities so that way we can spend our time together doing all the fun stuff!

A typical day

Omg there is so much, but it’s so up to them. If they want to play catch, fetch, go on a run/walk (I run frequently so if you have a track star, im your guy). I am also down for a chill day where we get some good pets in and do some enrichment feeding activities.

Pet care experience

I’ve mainly taken care of cats in my life, however I am not foreign to dog care. Family and friends own and I have walked, fed, and cleaned up after several dogs in my life. Very good at throwing balls and frisbees, and love to compete with my animal friends to find the best stick!

It was my first time having someone else take care of Monky, and Thomas was a great choice! He kept me very updated on how Monky was doing while I was gone, and provided really quality care. I will be booking with him again in the future!

Thomas continues to be the best cat sitter I have ever had. A big winter storm was forecasted after I had already left on my trip and Thomas took extra measures to make sure my house stayed warm and safe for my two cats. It means the world to me to have someone so caring and dependable to look after my cats when I’m away.

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.
