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
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.
TJ was so attentive and very communicative while watching my three cats! He took the time to detail how all three were doing individually with picture updates which is so big for me. I get anxious with having people stay with my girls but he made the whole experience as reassuring as possible. Will be using him every time I need a sitter if he’s available!
TJ took care of my elder cat for 2 days/nights. In addition to feeding her, cleaning her litter and providing company he spoiled her with treats as I requested. He was great with communication, keeping me updated via text with photos and took great care of my home. I highly recommend him.
TJ was fantastic with our pets and our home. We have a new rescue dog who needs extra patience, and TJ took such detailed, careful attention to her needs, he clearly understood how to make her comfortable. Our cat was well looked after too. He kept our home clean and respected our space the whole time he was house sitting. Communication was excellent, he sent regular photo updates throughout his stay, so we never had to wonder how things were going. Reliable, attentive, and easy to communicate with. We'd recommend TJ without hesitation and would have him back anytime.
TJ is the best. My kitty and goldfish are very happy and well taken care of.
TJ did an excellent job caring for our dogs and staying in our home while we were away. He sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. We came home to a clean house and, most importantly, happy and well-cared-for dogs. TJ is professional, kind, reliable, and clearly takes his work seriously. We would absolutely use him again and highly recommend him. Five stars!

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!
