Pet care experience
I love my doggy charges!
Hi I'm Tom. I've grown up with and loved dogs all my life. I walked our beloved husky Cody, our brown whatever-dog Chokel, and my girlfriend's sweet wheaten terrier. I've been working as a professional dog walker and caretaker for 6 years and regard my dog charges like family. I have a dog of my own and four beloved cats and know how important your furry buddies are to you. I train daily for my marathons so I'll try to keep up with your fur babies. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm semi-retired and have a flexible schedule. Other than volunteering and certain PRN jobs I'm generally close to home. I know my travel well in advance and can commit to the care of your dog. I have a fenced-in yard with a new secure fence. l'll need to keep your dogs crated or separated in a room to avoid fighting with other charges or with my own dog and will give them regular breaks.

Ratings and reviews
Thomas took outstanding care of my pups! He was very responsive and they lived their time with him.
Thomas was so kind. Prior to booking we he came by so he could meet the dogs. They instantly attached to him so we knew it would be a good fit. One of our dogs can be physical, not in an aggressive way, but he’s 80lbs and doesn’t know his size. Thomas reassured me that he still enjoyed him. He also cleaned the waste from the backyard and offered to recycle boxes we had sitting out on trash day. He will definitely be our new favorite sitter.
Thomas is very friendly and accommodating. He always keeping us informed daily about our fur babies while we’re gone. Thanks Thomas for everything!!! We appreciate you more than anything.
I always am confident that my dog is in good hands with Thomas while I'm away. I love that he keeps me updated on how my pet is doing each day.
Hershey had a great time
Thanks again!

A typical day
I typically let my dog charges out for the first time about 7AM and feed them and let them out about every four hours (never more than five and a half hours) in the back yard. I'll be interested in any suggestions you have for fun activities such as frisbee, ball, or walks. If your dogs play well with others then maybe I can let them out together.

- Please let me know if your dogs are aggressive around cats so I can be cautious. I've given oral pills and eye drops to my doggy charges in the past so just let me know what you like me to do.
