Safety, trust & environment

I cannot have a pet overnight. It’s not allowed where I live. I can watch your pet at your pets home, which I think makes them feel more comfortable. I normally just sleep on the couch with the dogs. When they are with me, they are as loved as they are my own. It’s very hard for me to say goodbye so it’s often when I am with a doggy for 45 min and I am only booked for 30 min. I am just switching to Rover from Wag I had over 300 dogs and 50 preferred clients. If you were to go to their site, you will see, I am by the numbers, their highest rated walker. I am switching to River because I feel Rover provides more support for the walker and the pet owner

Information Thomas R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any allergies or triggers. I worked in a psychiatric hospital and behaviors of people are very similar to dogs. It’s understanding their needs

A typical day

I love to play. I like to give a dog, obviously not if he or she is elderly, a solid work out. Most dogs need exercise. I strive to walk a dog a minimum of 3 miles in an hour. But it all depends on the needs of the puppy and the parent

Pets

I am the dog guy

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover. I have watched other’s pets for long and short periods of time (6 months). From puppy to elder dog. To healthy to needing medications. Your dog, when with me, is the most important person in the world to me. I don’t text or talk on the phone when with your pet. All my attention is focused on your loved ones safety

Thomas was fantastic. He stayed three days and two nights with our dog. He communicated well throughout the time so we were confident our dog was enjoying the time and getting lots of attention. He took great care of the house too. We will be reaching out to request Thomas’s service again.
