Tom has been one of our most trusted dog sitters and goes above and beyond to take care of our now two dogs. He’ll care for your pets as if they were his own, thanks Tom!

Tom was great with my dog. Very kind, easy to reach, and clearly cares. I’d definitely ask him again. Thanks so much!

Tom did an excellent job taking care of my cat and house while I was away. He sent me daily updates with pictures, which I really appreciated. I felt relaxed on my trip knowing he was there with my cat and giving her special attention. I returned home and my cat was her happy and sweet self. I highly recommend Tom for any of your pet sitting or house sitting needs.

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.
