LOTS OF LOVE FOR YOUR FUR BABY :)

Pet care experience

When my own fur baby passed away late in 2017, I knew it was going to be a long time before getting another pet of my own. After all, my pug Lucy had brought so much happiness into my life, I knew that the best way to honor her memory would be to share my time and experience with other fur babies and their parents. I love spending time with my 4-legged friends. When a new client reaches out to me, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s always great to chat with a parent of a fur baby in person. It gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about their fur baby and their expectations. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another. I know first hand how difficult it can be when you are away from your fur baby. I’m here to help make that time as easy as possible! I believe that, with great communication, you’ll feel like you never left your fur baby in the first place. I will keep you in the loop from the moment you leave until you return so you know that your furbaby is in good hands. I will include lots of great pictures of us having fun as well! Please read my reviews. My 10 Commandments for Pet Sitting 1. Always be safe. 2. Always show love and affection 3. Speak calmly and clearly. 4. Pet often and gently. 5. Always speak in a happy voice. 6. Play often. 7. Rest often. 8. Reward with treats, kindness, and love. 9. Always show plenty of patience. 10. Repeat 1 – 9. AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO LEAVE A REVIEW!!!! THANK YOU :)

Thomas is definitely a dog person. My dog was at ease with Thomas from the first minute. She stayed with Thomas for a week and I was provided with daily updates and fotos. My dog was thrilled to see me when I picked her up but you could tell she was very happy with Thomas. I hope he’ll be available for my next trip.

This was great!!! Thomas was flexible and accommodating. We needed a last minute day care situation and Thomas worked out just right. We dont live in the area anymore, but if we did we would gladly have Thomas care for our dog(s) again!!!

Thomas took care of our mini schnauzer for two weeks. During this time he sent us updates and pictures every day, and very quickly replied to all our messages. Thomas obviously loves dogs, and they love him! He took a great care of our dog, who was healthy and happy when we picked him up. We highly recommend Thomas services to other dog owners, and will certainly ask Thomas to "babysit" our dog when we go on vacation next time. Thank you Thomas for taking great care of Pepper!

Information Thomas M. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

There are tons of great things to explore locally, so we’ll have no shortage of adventures! I love to get out and about, and there is just no better way to go out and explore than with a canine companion by your side. I’m used to working with pups big and small, so your pup will always have their exercise needs met--whatever they may be! There are tons of parks near me, and I’m always game for a few games of fetch or tug-of-war.
