Highlights
Pet care experience
A dog owner looking to help others
I grew up with dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own (+ my cat). My friends know that whenever they go out of town I am the go-to dog sitter because of my reliability, flexible schedule and experience. I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds for the past 8+ years. My expertise ranges from in-home dog boarding to walks around the park. I have come to the conclusion that all dogs are good dogs and I look forward to meeting yours!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I am very happy with the dog sitting services we received. My dog was safe and happy upon our return. Thomas was very friendly and helpful. He listened well to all of our dog's needs. I would definitely use him again.
Thomas is very reliable, he has been good about staying in communication, provides updates, is consistent and overall pleasant & sweet. I had peace of mind that he was doing good about caring for my doggie while I was away. Just super blessed I found him, he is good about responding to my puppies antics, quirks and fears.
I cannot say enough good things about Thomas!! We had him caring for our anxious cat for a week. He went about and beyond for our little guy and was incredibly communicative with us as we while we were on the east coast. I could easily tell he genuinely loves and cares for animals. It is the first time we got home and there were no accidents! This was huge. Our cat was calm and sweet and I could tell he was well cared for. Would give Thomas 10 stars if I could!
Thomas was so gentle and patient with our doggies. We were nervous about leaving our anxious dogs while on vacation, but he was amazing. He was patient, professional, and kept us updated the whole time. The dogs were really well cared for, and we came home to happy pups and a tidy house. He’s the best!
Another great job by Thomas !!!
Thomas was so great with Pippa! So communicative and flexible and gave us perfect updates. Would absolutely book again!

Schedule
I’m an online student. So I am happy to work with other people’s schedules. Ideally in the summer season I prefer walking dogs in the early morning and then later afternoon/evening for the dog’s safety. I am available to do drop-in visits up to 3 times a day. Please contact me directly for any specific questions or custom schedules and I will do my best to accommodate when I can! Daycare hours typically are from 8am- 3pm but I am open to accommodate upon request! Please be aware —> House has a pool & cats *Furbabies must be cat friendly and know how to swim*
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to do a meet-up before finalizing care to make sure the dog is comfortable with me and begin building trust. I am more than comfortable going into a dog’s home in their environment and maintaining the routine they have. As someone who has used rover before, I will make sure to treat the pups as I expect others to treat mine. Including feeding, making sure they have adequate water, walks, play time and cuddles. I will be respectful of your home and space, and make sure the dogs in my care have some extra TLC. Please be aware —> House has a pool & cats *Furbabies must be cat friendly and know how to swim*
Pets
A typical day
I tailor my activities to the individual dog’s personality. If you want your dog to be more socialized I can take them to the dog park or walk them with my dogs so they can play. If your dog prefers one-on-one time, I am more than happy to take them to the park and throw tennis balls, frisbees or play tug of war. If you have a homebody or senior dog, we can be couch potatoes and hang out at home. I am very familiar with the surrounding parks, dog parks and walking paths in the area.
