Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dogs, cats, and all pets!
I grew up with dogs starting when I was 6 years old, and for the past 10 years I've been dog and cat sitting for friends and family at least once every few months. Playing with dogs is one of my very favorite activities, and I'm also an avid trail walker (and a dog added to that equation only makes it better!).

Safety, trust & environment
I have a cat at my house that won't allow for other pets to be boarded at home, but I am happy to housesit if that is amenable. When housesitting for my friends and family who have pets, I typically walk a dog 3 times a day, play fetch (if that's something the dog likes), and feed them according to whatever schedule their owners keep to. I'm very flexible in terms of sleeping arrangements if it's a multi-day stay; crate, dog bed, or in bed with me are all fine with me! If you require any special accommodations, just let me know and I'm happy to oblige!
Ratings and reviews
I was pleased Thomas was able to do a drop in for Maggie on 7/11. I will be requesting his services more.
Thomas tended beautifully to our 2 dogs, 7 ducks, songbirds and hummingbirds while we were gone! He was easy to work with, thoughtful about medications, communicative, happy to do some extras (like spreading smelly dear repellent!) and the dogs seemed to enjoy his company. And, he left the house in good shape. We’ll call on him again!
My dogs loved Thomas! He took great care of them and send excellent pictures and updates.
Thomas was great. Great communication and my pups were excited to walk with him each day. We definitely recommend!
Thomas was wonderful both with the pets and being prompt, responsible and clearly communicating. He gave daily reports at least twice a day and kept the house neat and tidy. Best of all, he truly likes dogs and cats!
Thomas was a dream. I am so glad I found him through Rover. He came out twice to meet Gus before hand, was thoughtful and kind and confident about taking care of her, and was incredibly communicative. He was tag teaming care with my mom and sister and both expressed how wonderful they thought he was, highlighting his communication and kindness. He sent lots of photos and was sure to give daily updates. I cannot recommend him enough and will absolutely hire him again.

Schedule
I currently work part-time as an online tutor, which makes my schedule super flexible for house sitting, dog walking, or dropping in for a playdate. I have a couple of weekly obligations that I need to be out of the house for (Monday and Thursday nights), but each of those is only for 3 or 4 hours at the most. Unfortunately, the cat that lives in my house is ornery, so I can't board pets at home.
