Pet care experience

Will treat your pets like my own!

What makes me stand out is that caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I’ve seen them in every season of life—from playful pups to gentle seniors. That foundation gives me a deep understanding of their needs, quirks, and love languages. Here are a few things I bring to the table: Specialized care for puppies & seniors: I have experience with puppy training basics (potty training, socialization, gentle commands) as well as senior care (slower walks, mobility support, extra comfort). Medical competence: I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring health changes, and following vet instructions scrupulously. Attentive, personal care: I don’t treat your dog like a “task” — I treat them like family. I take time to learn their routines, preferences, and subtle signals. Open communication: You’ll never be in the dark. I’ll send you updates (photos, notes) and make sure you feel confident about their well-being while you’re away. Reliability & responsibility: When I commit to caring for your dog, I honor that commitment. You can count on me to be present, prompt, and fully invested in their happiness. In short: I don’t just provide a service — I provide peace of mind, with the same love and care I’d give my own dog.

Thomas was absolutely amazing. He stepped in at the last minute to care for my special needs dog, and from the first update I knew my pup was in good hands! Thomas followed every detail of his care needs — from medications to comfort during anxious moments (that happens a lot) — with patience and respect. He sent frequent photo and message updates, which completely eased my worries while I was away. I felt confident and reassured the entire time knowing my dog was being treated with the same love I would give him. I’ll gladly trust Thomas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter.

Schedule

Hi, I’m Thomas! I moved to Wilmington from Louisiana about seven years ago with my pups, and we’ve loved every moment here! Whether we’re out exploring or just soaking up the sun in the yard, we make the most of every day. I currently have two wonderful rescues—Goose, my loyal 11-year-old Doberman, and Mattie, my playful 2-year-old pit mix. They’re not just pets; they’re family. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry friends, and I’d treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!
