Availability

My teaching schedule allows me to be home a lot during the week and I am open most weekends. I am also pretty flexible to do drop ins and walks, as well as pickup/dropoff. My wife, Diana, works from home and helps with the pet care. Pretty much someone is always home so the pet guests normally hang out with us most of the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I know every pet has their own personality so I like to get to know each pet individually and speak with their owners to come up with a care plan. We aim to create the same level of comfort here that your pet has at home. Our guests are part of the family while they are here.

Information Thomas K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences. We want to make them as comfortable as possible. We can only accept doggos friendly with kids and other dogs.

A typical day

Our kids love the dogs we watch and they love to play with them. We have a 4 acre yard, half of which is fenced, that we’re frequently out enjoying. My wife walks most days and loves doggy company.

Pet care experience

I am a professor at a local university with a flexible schedule who loves hanging out with all sorts of pets. I am professional, punctual, and playful. My wife, Diana, works from home so between the two of us there’s pretty much always someone home hanging out with our doggie guests. We live on 4 acres, about half of which is fenced in for the doggos to run and play safely. We only crate if they are comfortable with that, and if no one is home.

Wonderful and very much appreciated. I know my ziggy love them and that makes me feel good that I can go out of town and not worry.

Our “fur baby” was well taken care of by the whole family. We are so pleased to find a trustworthy pet sitter who is close to home and so easy to work with. We will be repeat customers!

Great sitters! Able to accommodate last minute tasks due to an unexpected tummy issue with our puppy. Received pictures and updates throughout the stay. I could tell he was loved on and happy!

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.
