Highlights
Pet care experience
Farm Raised + Vet Clinic Experience
I've been around animals my entire life, dogs, cats, horses, cows, and chickens, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. Growing up, I was the go-to person in my neighborhood whenever someone needed their animals looked after while they were away, handling everything from daily feeding and walks to full care for extended trips. So I have been around animals and taking care of them my whole life. I am a pre-med student at Notre Dame and work over the summer as an EMT. Because of this, I am trained to stay calm and respond quickly. I have also worked for three years as a volunteer in a veterinary clinic. That background means I notice when something's off with an animal and know how to handle it. I offer boarding, dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and doggy day care. Whether it's a quick check-in or a multi-week stay, I will be sure to give your pet the care and supervision it needs.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is a farm-style property with a large yard and a fenced-in space. Inside pets are part of the house, unless specified otherwise. I keep a close eye on feeding schedules and any medications necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Thomas has watched our dog Stella numerous times over the last 2 years. Stella is a Doberman and is very shy around new people but Thomas has always done a good job with her and we always feel safe knowing he’s watching her. I would recommend Thomas to anyone who is looking for a reliable dog sitter.
Thomas and I have been neighbors for quite some time. Over the years I have trusted him to watch my dogs (Great Dane and a Chihuahua, not an easy combo) and also my chickens. He has a natural instinct to taking care of animals that you can tell is not something just learned from a YouTube video. He is quick to message me with any issues, no panic, no drama. He would always send me unprompted photo updates throughout the day, and does a wonderful job sticking to the feeding schedule. I genuinely trust him to take care of animals. He has a positive energy and is a great young man.
Thomas lives in my neighborhood and I am always so excited when he's back from college because he is able to take can of my doberman. Since he was a kid he has been walk, sitter, and taking care of my pets. He is very smart, reliable and responsible. He truly cares so much about animals and loves any opportunity to see my dobie. You're pet will be in great hands with Thomas I would highly recommend him with all your fur babies.

Schedule
I am available around the clock. I take summer classes fully online, which means I work from home and can give your pet consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. Dogs get walks, check-ins, and company on a flexible schedule built around what works for them.
