Dependable mature ready to spoil!

Pet care experience

I am a nurse and teacher, with a little extra time on my schedule. My wife and I have been pet owners all our lives, they have always been a part of our family. We originally became Rover sitters after our two dogs passed as a way to have pups around until our son was old enough to enjoy getting a taking care of a new dog....Well now he is 8 and our own pup is almost 4 years old. This summer, my son is going to help with some dog walking (when appropriate) as a way to earn money to give back to Caritas Austin. Book us for a dog walk or drop in and we will take great care with your pup and send some money back in to our community also!

Tom was great, I felt much better having him check in on my cat. I'd definitely use his services again.

Thomas is one of my trusted people here. He's walked and watched my dog many times now.

Information Thomas R. would like to know about your pet

All breeds welcome! Have owned Great Danes to small terriers and several in between! Let me know your dogs experience with children so we can plan accordingly. Not other pets in our house right now, so no worries about behavior with other dogs or cats.

A typical day

Neighborhood walks and nearby greenbelts. Depends upon the exact neighborhood we end up in... With the heat this summer, will try to keep those paws on grass vs walking on sidewalks/streets.
