Tom and his wife were amazing with Polar! They kept us updated the whole time, and both we and Polar had a fantastic experience. Thanks again!

This was our second time booking with Thomas. We felt confident that Max was in the best of hands during his stay with Thomas and his family. They are real dog lovers. We will definitely book again next time.

Thomas was the perfect sitter for Beauty. She does best with someone who will let her sleep outside or in the garage and just be around. She seemed so happy and got to go on some little local trips. Thomas sent pictures daily with updates which was perfect for me.

Thomas was friendly, calm, and communicative throughout the stay, sending us updates and photos at least once a day. Upon their first meeting at the park, Max walked right over to him and sat on his foot. When we picked up Max three days later he seemed glad to see us but in no hurry to leave. We recommend Thomas with no reservations whatsoever. He will be our first choice taking care of Max whenever we visit my family.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a stake in my yard for when my daughter visits with her 35 lb. Dog. Previous bigger dogs were walked on a leash at all times. I usually walk my dogs 1-2x daily for up to a 1/2 hour.

A typical day

I have access to land with trails that your dog will love. I also have a large yard for play and enjoy working on basic leash skills and commands. In my home, I hide treats for your dog to seek out.

Thomas can host up to 1 pet per night
I would like to know if your dog gets along well with other dogs, needs specialized medical care/diet. It is helpful to know how your dog wlks on a leash, or if they are aggressive and protective while walking.
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.
