Highlights
Pet care experience
hello!
As a pet sitter, I take pride in being reliable, flexible, and attentive to the needs of both pets and their owners. I believe these qualities stem from my natural empathy for others. I understand that owners want the very best for their pets, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention I would want for my own animals. When everyone feels comfortable and cared for, it makes for a happier experience all around! Above all, I’m an animal lover with a great deal of patience and a natural ability to understand animal behaviors, personalities, and interests. I have over 15 years of experience caring for my own animals, ranging from rambunctious beagles to more low-energy and independent companions, such as cats and senior dogs. I believe every animal deserves equal amounts of love, care, and attention, regardless of their age, energy level, or personality. Just as importantly, I value building trusting relationships with pet owners. My goal is to make you feel comfortable reaching out at any time, whether before, during, or after a sitting. Open communication and peace of mind are important to me, and I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in good hands! :)

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet area of Capitol Hill, with a flat, comfortable space that's also conveniently located near plenty of hills and the beautiful Interlaken Park. Whether your pup prefers a leisurely stroll, a more adventurous walk, or simply some time to explore and sniff around, I'm happy to accommodate their energy level and interests. I'm always open to whatever makes your pup happiest!
Ratings and reviews
Tom has been an amazing sitter to my two challenging doggos. He’s patient, easy-going, unflappable and hosts jazz brunches with the dogs (they get kibble and he plays some jazz records) on weekends, which they have told me they very much enjoy. Plus he always knows to send a picture just when I’m missing them the most. I totally trust Tom to not just love my dogs at their best, but to go with the flow when they’re at their worst.
Tom was a fantastic cat sitter. He always arrived on time, gave our cats plenty of attention and left our house in tip top shape. bonus points for the creative cat pictures he sent us during each visit. We will definitely be using Tom in the future!
