Excellent care, intuitive handling of the dogs. I am very pleased with the service Tommy offers! If I need to board the dogs again, I will certainly utilize his service. Thank you, Tommy!

My dog, Gizmo, couldn't be happier with the loving and safe care he recieved from Thomas. His property is peaceful, spacious, and perfect for dogs to relax, play, and enjoy the outdoors. If you're looking for a trustworthy dog sitter with a wonderful home in the country, I highly recommend him!

Thomas recently kept our golden retriever, Lola, for a week while we were on vacation, and I would highly recommend him for boarding. My dog loved him, and had a great time there! He answered any questions I had, and kept us updated/sent pictures on how she was doing. She was treated like a member of their family which is what we wanted. I wouldn't hesitate to use him in the future.

Oh man where to start. This man is beyond exceptional! I would definitely love to have my dog under the care of Thomas for all future Missouri stays! My dog was taken care of like family, introduced to the pack, and enjoyed all sorts of fun activities. I am happy with the services that I received and am very thankful of my pups stay! Thank you Thomas 🙏🏽

I have known Tommy for approximately 12 years. At the moment I own 7 dogs. When we met I had 12 and one of them was not a very nice 80lb girl. BUT, besides myself she loved Tommy! I can’t tell you why but she did and would allow play and tough housing and she adored him. All of my dogs liked him. I’m a trainer snd competitor and I’m exceptionally picky about anyone touching my dogs, including Veterinarians. I would not hesitate to have Tommy care for my animals. By the way I own very large and very small dogs.

Thomas is a wonderful, responsible caregiver — loving, punctual, and trustworthy. My dogs adore him; he follows care instructions precisely, communicates clearly, and keeps them safe and happy every visit. Highly recommended.
