Pet care experience

Experienced & Trustworthy Sitter 🐾

I’ve been around animals my whole life, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I treat pets like family, and they can usually tell - most warm up to me within minutes. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, including seniors, dogs who are hard of hearing, anxious, or need a slower pace. I started pet sitting at thirteen for family and neighbors, and over the years, I’ve cared for many Rover clients as well. Now that I’m settled in Clintonville, I’m looking to build long-term relationships with local pet parents. I work from home full-time, which means your pet isn’t just getting the basics - they’re getting company, attention, and a calm, steady presence throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or couch cuddles, I follow your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and at home. If you have a trip coming up or need someone reliable in your corner, feel free to reach out. I’m flexible, communicative, and truly enjoy spending time with the pets I care for.

Thomas was outstanding! He was always on time, very communicative, and clearly cared about my dog. My dog absolutely loved him and was always happy and well-exercised after their walks. I couldn’t recommend him more.

Thomas was an amazing sitter! He is very responsive and attentive, and I got daily updates and pictures for my whole trip. I could tell that my cat was very happy and confident with him--she did not want to leave when I came to pick her up lol! His cat Dory is also so sweet and friendly, she and my cat got along great.

Thomas was with our pooch for 8 days and everything was perfect when we returned. He regularly sent updates with pictures. We will definitely request his services again for future trips.

Thomas took great care of our girls while we were away for the weekend. He was in communication frequently and sent us photos each day. I will definitely book him again when we travel.

Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)

Safety, trust & environment

I spend time with them as though they are a family member or friend. I prefer staying in the owners home because animals tend to be much more comfortable when they are accustomed to the environment. I am more than happy to take care of additional household chores such as watering plants or laundry. I can assure you your home is in good hands when I am staying there.

Pets

A typical day

I love talking to dogs and playing games that stimulate them mentally. Anything that gets a head tilt or smile is a win in my book. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, taking cute photos of them, or just sit on the couch and give them belly rubs.
