Pet care experience

PhD candidate in pet sitting

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!

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!!

I am moving out of the area and the absolute saddest part is losing such a kind, caring, and diligent pet sitter who truly cares for my cats like they’re his own. I used to feel so guilty traveling and leaving my cats behind but after Thomas started taking care of them it took that guilt away because he took such incredible care of them. I knew I could trust that if there was anything wrong or concerning he would keep me updated right away and I also knew that he was giving them dedicated attention and care for the full time he was there. I work long hours so even sometimes when I wasn’t traveling I’d think about how that probably got better/more undivided attention when he was visiting them than when I was home! My cats are family and I love them so much, I was so blessed to have Thomas taking care of them and please know that if you chose him to care for your pets that he will take care of are of them like they’re his own. Thank you Thomas! Winifred and Albie (and I!) will miss you. Thank you!

Thomas is a phenomenal cat sitter. I have such peace of mind when I go away ever since he started watching my two cats. They are always so happy and healthy on my return.

Schedule

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.
