Safety, trust & environment

We don’t have space at our home for our own dog which is a primary motivation for helping others and spending time with local dogs on Rover! With two highly experienced and passionate dog-walkers, you can trust your fur-child will be in good hands…whenever you need!

Information Thomas & Kiwa H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or considerations ahead of time and we will do our best to prepare. Large and strong breeds won’t be a problem, and we can handle unpredictable pulling and energy!

A typical day

We love to let dogs guide the walk and explore new or familiar areas. We will also play however the dog wants, as long as they aren’t being too rough, and will give them lots of petting and love no matter what. We have also been learning the best ways to help shy dogs become more quickly comfortable with us/new people.

20 years as owner/walker/dog-lover

Pet care experience

I’ve had 2 dogs from puppy through adulthood over the last 20 years and have given thousands of walks. Charlie was a stubborn and happy Basset Hound, and Teddy was a big, lovable, and strong Great Pyrenees who unfortunately passed early last year. RIP 🧸. My wife Kiwa also has a lot of experience with walking dogs with various sizes, age, tendencies; including the strongest, heaviest and most unpredictably energetic. Having either of us available definitely adds to our last-minute availability. We are also able and willing to walk multiple of your dogs together with ease. We recently moved to Berkeley, and would truly enjoy putting our dog walking skills & passion to use with your pup.

My dog is very wary of strangers. And after 3 short visits he was crawling into Thomas’ lap. Cannot recommend highly enough!!!

Tommy was absolutely wonderful with my Great Pyrenees! From the start, he was communicative, punctual, and clearly experienced with dogs. He took the time to understand my dog’s routine and personality, and I could tell that he genuinely cared. I received regular updates and photos that made me feel at ease while I was away. When I came home, my pet was happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I’d highly recommend Tommy to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter—you can tell he loves what he does!

Thomas is the best dog walker and house sitter I’ve ever had. He always arrives early, is very generous with staying late when needed, and leaves my dog perfectly tired after long walks. He’s a very kind and considerate person, and I couldn’t recommend him more.

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.
