Fur friends are family!

Pet care experience

With a solid foundation in professional pet care since 2002, I bring professionalism, approachability, and unwavering dedication to every furry friend I serve. When you entrust me with your pet's care, rest assured that they will receive the utmost love, attention, and playtime while you're busy. I truly believe that pets are part of the family! Growing up in a household with 4+ dogs, my passion for animals has been ingrained in me from a young age. As an adult, I've continued to nurture this love by adopting and caring for my own dog. In 2019, I sadly lost my beloved 9-year-old boxer to brain cancer, but the memories of our incredible adventures together will remain in my heart forever! I don't yet have another canine companion of my own, but that only makes caring for yours more special to me. I’ve also cared for many feline friends and enjoy helping them engage their curious minds too! With 20+ years of providing pet care, I have developed: -Knowledge and understanding of dog behavior and training techniques. -Experience in caring for senior and special needs dogs. -Proficiency in administering medications and handling medical emergencies. -Familiarity with various dog breeds and their specific care requirements. -Expertise in providing individualized and interactive playtime and exercise routines. -Skills to manage a multi-pet households and ensure harmony among furry companions. -A strong commitment to maintaining a safe and clean environment for pets at all times.

I knew from the first Meet & Greet that Thomas was going to be the right fit. Going away and leaving my fur baby is always stressful but having a conscientious and caring person with him makes it much easier. Thomas is very detailed and thorough and keeps in close touch while I am away. Everyone loves getting pics! Will definitely book with Thomas again.

Thomas has been responsive and highly professional since our very first interaction! I felt immediately at ease and my pup took to him right away. Thomas’ love for dogs and his skill/experience are apparent. I’m very glad to have someone I can trust will take such good care of my pup when I’m not around. Highly recommend!!!

Kind, compassionate, and patient with my girls, who were a little unsure of strangerdanger at first! But now they love their walks with Thomas so much I can't even say his name or they'll run to the window and all the doors looking for him! Follows their established training methods so they aren't confused, great with positive reinforcement. I highly recommend him!

Information Thomas O. would like to know about your pet

Before embarking on our journey together, there are a few key details I find important to know in advance, allowing me to tailor my care to your furry companion's specific requirements. Your pet's individual Rover profile page is a great place to keep this information. Any medical conditions or allergies your dog may have are vital information. This ensures I can provide the necessary attention and take appropriate precautions to keep them safe and comfortable. Additionally, understanding their temperament, such as their behavior around other dogs or potential triggers, helps me create a stress-free environment. Knowing your dog's daily routine, including feeding and exercise preferences, allows me to maintain a sense of familiarity and minimize any disruptions during our time together. It's important for me to know their favorite activities, toys, and any special rituals they enjoy, so I can incorporate those elements into our playtime. Open and honest communication is the foundation of our relationship, so please feel free to share any specific instructions or concerns you may have. Whether it's preferred walking routes, training techniques, or even their favorite cuddle spots, your insights empower me to provide the best care possible. New Clients: To ensure a comfortable and seamless experience, I ask that we schedule a 15-30 minute complimentary "Meet & Greet" before any bookings are finalized. In addition to meeting your pet(s), this time allows me to establish a personal connection with owners and to discuss your pet's specific needs. Contact me or initiate a new booking to schedule your free Meet & Greet with me today!

A typical day

I love to engage your pet physically and mentally in the ways they love! Getting to know them and their specific personality/behaviors will take a little time. But for sure I'm always happy to play with toys, let them check out the neighborhood happenings, explore hiking trails, work on basic training commands with treats/praise, and make time for lots of pets and loves too - whatever makes their tail wag! I'll never be a replacement for you, their owner, but I hope to be a valued substitute as needed.
