Pet care experience

Doggy loving family here to help

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.

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!

Lexi had a wonderful stay with new furry friends and this sweet family! She loved exploring their expansive fenced yard, amongst big trees, grass and natural areas. Thomas and his wife took great care of her. I highly recommend Thomas and his wife for caring for your dog! I’ll definitely use them again.

Reggie had such a wonderful time here! Thomas was thoughtful and always sent pictures of Reggie which was comforting. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!!

Schedule

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.
