Availability

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!

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.

Information Thomas-James C. would like to know about your pet

How does your dog do with other dogs, children, and adults? Is your dog a chewer/destroy toys? Any allergies or special care instructions? I don't have any breed preferences

A typical day

There is a great riverfront park nearby and a fenced-in dog park up the hill. We can walk all the way through town and back in 20 minutes, or take a scenic route and be out for an hour. There are plenty of Kong tennis balls, frisbees, and sticks to be had around here.

Reliable Dog Walking & Sitting

Pet care experience

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!

TJ took amazing care of our cat Moose. He was super responsive and easy to communicate with, and we felt so comfortable leaving our baby with him for a week. Would 100% recommend.
