I work a full time day job from 8-5, so for dogs that are used to being alone during the day, i can pet sit any day of the week! Weekends are the only times I can accommodate dogs who require closer care.

Safety, trust & environment
Before beginning any pet care service, I prefer to meet both owners and pets at least 24 hours in advance. This helps pets become familiar with me and allows me to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs ahead of time. I always appreciate a walkthrough of the home, including where everyday pet care items are kept such as food, leashes, litter supplies, medications, cleaning products, and any comfort items your pet uses regularly. I also ask pet parents to leave written instructions that include feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, emergency contacts, and any other important details about their pet’s care — even small things that help keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. For overnight stays, I ask that clean linens and towels be made available. I’m always happy to tidy up after myself and will gladly change bedsheets before leaving your home. My goal is to provide dependable, respectful care for both your pets and your living space so you can travel with peace of mind.

Pet care experience
My passion for pet care began in 2019 while I was a senior in high school, when I started walking my neighbor’s dog after classes during my half-day schedule. What started as a simple after-school routine quickly grew into a career working with animals full time. From 2022–2024, I worked professionally with Heart and Home Pets, LLC in Silver Spring, where I cared for 15–20 repeat clients on a regular basis. My experience includes dog walking, play groups, house sitting, and caring for pets with a wide range of temperaments, ages, and physical needs. I’m comfortable working with energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners, and I always strive to provide dependable, attentive, and compassionate care.

Reviews
Thomas is a fantastic pet caregiver. He has plenty of experience working with animals, is trustworthy, and overall a lovely person. Pets love him and his easygoing energy. Don’t hesitate to work with Thomas!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Thomas. It was clear that he genuinely loves animals and takes his responsibility seriously. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is in such caring and capable hands My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s clear Thomas goes above and beyond to make sure each dog is happy, safe, and well-exercised. I know there’s someone I can trust to provide not just basic care, but real attention and affection. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter!
Very reliable and friendly. Cares about your pet like he/she was his own. Highly recommended. Thomas went above the service to make sure my dog was comfortable.
Thomas picked up and dropped my dog for a playgroup service for many months. He's super nice and my dog loved him! I would definitely use him again.
