Pet care experience

Patient Care for Shy & Special Need

Raised in Minnesota barn life, I learned hands‑on care for birds, small mammals, and horses. Now serving St. Pete, I offer reliable dog walks, gentle leash training, enrichment, medication administration, and attentive puppy, senior, and/or specialized care. My partner and I share life with two dogs, Betty and Zuko, and a cat, Grapes, and you’ll often spot our little fam swimming at Fort DeSoto or strolling through Sawgrass Lake Park.

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily provide care in your home so pets stay in familiar surroundings. I follow provided routines, secure doors/enclosures, perform a quick safety check each visit, and administer oral meds exactly as directed. I send regular photo updates and will contact you should any concerns arise.

Thomas is always super communicative and leaves the house spotless. Two of our pups got into a tiff this trip. Thomas let us know immediately, cleaned the resulting wound, and applied meds as needed. He also took care of one of our pup that has issues and is on a special diet and eye drops. He is a true gem!! We love him and so do our pups!
