Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Walking & Sitting
For the past 10 years, I've been lucky enough to have an amazing dog in my life. I've watched him grow from the tiniest puppy into a grouchy yet snuggly old man. Keeping him safe, satisfied, and healthy have been priorities whether that meant walking in the rain or making him a hot meal. He is without a doubt one of the most important parts of my life. I understand what it is to place your trust and your pet in someone else’s hands. As a sitter/walker, I would treat your dog as one of my own. I’ve worked with seniors and puppies, walked, played, and trained with them. All animals come with a story; whatever health, safety, and behavioral information you share would be respected and observed. I look forward to meeting you and making sure that your furry loved one gets the attention and services they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to dog walking, safety and trust are my top priorities. I’ve learned to anticipate potential issues, whether it’s a skateboarder coming around a corner or a squirrel teasing from the street, ensuring that any situation is handled before it becomes a problem. By understanding an animal’s triggers, I can make every walk a positive, stimulating experience while maintaining control of the leash at all times. For home sitting, whether it’s a dog or cat, I take care to respect the space—both for the animal and the owner’s peace of mind. I always follow the house rules and make sure any specific needs or routines for your pet are respected. Trust is key, and I’m committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both you and your furry family member.
Ratings and reviews
Thomas -James took great care of my our dog! He was very communcative, I felt very comfortable and my dog was happy as can be when we got home. Thank you!!
TJ did an amazing job and helped us so much, thank you!
TJ did such a great job with Ellie, and was really communicative with frequent updates. Highly recommend!
TJ was great!! Very communicative and took great care of both of our boys and our house. We came home to happy tails and were able to really enjoy our time away without any stress or worry that they were in good hands!
Our dog had a great time meeting and getting to know TJ. He always communicates with us and we feel so comfortable and happy knowing that our dog is in such great hands. We will continue all walks with TJ and highly recommend him!
TJ was wonderful with my two Bengals! They warmed up to him right away, which is quite an accomplishment as they are usually pretty shy. I wouldn't hesitate to book TJ again whenever I need to go away for a while.

Schedule
As someone who works primarily from home, I have the flexibility to prioritize my dog’s care throughout the day. He gets a minimum of a 1.5-mile walk every single day, rain or shine, and always enjoys a hot meal made with a special mix of healthy, human-grade ingredients added to his kibble—because I believe that quality food equals a happier, healthier pup. I also make sure he has a yard break every 2-3 hours, along with two medium to long walks daily to keep him active and engaged. My routine is built around making sure my dog’s needs are met consistently, and I approach all my pet care with the same level of attention and dedication. Whether it's a regular walk, a healthy meal, or a quick yard break, I ensure that my pets are always well taken care of, just like I would treat your own furry friend!
