A dog owner looking to help others

Pet care experience

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!

Thomas was great with my girls! He took the time to get to know them and to learn what my trainer was doing with us. He was super flexible with schedule and all around great guy. I felt very safe having him walk my girls.

Thomas has taken care of our two labrador 3 times and he has always done an excellent job! He always makes sure that all my dogs needs are meet. He has taken them out on walks, always feeds them on time and makes sure that they get enough play time with their toys. Thomas is my go to for my pets needs when I'm not available. He also give them so mucho love while I'm gone they are always excited to see him.

Thomas has watched my dog Kaiser several times. Our dogs get along great and I always feel confident leaving my dog in Thomas’s care. He is also great about providing updates without me having to ask!

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*

Information Thomas R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or accommodations. I like to know a little about the dog’s personality, what they like and don’t like. Let me know their feeding schedules, walk schedules, and favorite toys.

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.

I’m an online student and work part time. 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*
