I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which means your dog will never be left alone or lacking attention. Dogs in my care enjoy constant companionship, plenty of affection, and lots of playtime with my two friendly doodles. We’re almost always home, so your pup will have a calm, supervised environment with plenty of love and social interaction throughout the day. Whether your dog prefers snuggles on the couch or play sessions in the yard, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home.

Information Thomas J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of—I want to ensure every pup is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Our home is a great fit for friendly, potty-trained dogs who enjoy the company of other pups and children

A typical day

Your dog will be part of the family while they’re here! We have plenty of room to roam, a securely fenced dog run for safe outdoor time, and a nearby dog park for extra fun and socialization. I love playing catch and making sure pups stay active and happy. Between our two friendly doodles and the occasional playdate with other pups, your dog will have plenty of company and stimulation. They’ll also get tons of love and attention from both us and our daughters—there’s always someone ready to give belly rubs or toss a toy. Whether your pup loves to play or just wants a cozy spot to relax, they’ll feel right at home here.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from my mom’s senior pups with special needs to high-energy breeds that love to run and play. At home, I’ve welcomed a variety of dogs into our space, each with their own quirks and routines, and I pride myself on creating a safe, loving environment where they can truly relax. My two doodles are friendly, well-socialized cohosts who love making new furry friends and help create a calm, pack-like atmosphere for visiting pups. Whether your dog needs a slow-paced day with gentle companionship or an active play buddy, I’m here to meet their needs with lots of love and attention.

The home of Thomas was well suited for our large, energetic American Labrador. Definitely a big dog friendly family which originally was a concern for us with our first time boarding our girl. Thomas was open to time for introducing his dogs (over a couple of shorter visits first) to get familiar with our Lab before the lengthy overnight stay. Good communication (and prompt responses) with pictures and updates.

Thomas was fantastic. Sent pictures and updates about playtime, walks and how our fur baby was fitting in with other dogs. The thing that stood out for me is how knowledgeable Thomas is about how to introduce dogs to each other and allow them to get familiar with people and other dogs. His experience with dog sitting really shows. We will definitely be back.

Thomas was amazing with our dogs! He took such great care of them, and we felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. The regular updates he sent let us truly relax and enjoy our vacation. We would trust him with our pups anytime—highly recommend, 10/10!

I can't say enough great things about Thomas and his dog-watching services! From the moment we met, it was clear he has a genuine love for animals and a calm, confident presence that immediately put both me and my dog at ease. Thomas is reliable, communicative, and incredibly attentive. He took the time to learn my dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs—and treated my pup like one of his own. I received regular updates and photos that made being away so much easier. Whether it’s a short check-in or overnight stay, I always feel 100% confident that my dog is in safe, loving hands. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog watcher. He’s simply the best!
