Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, cats, horses - you name it!
I grew up in the countryside. My extended family were all dog owners: Labradors, Great Danes and Afghan Hounds. We also had 4 cats and 4 Icelandic horses. As an adult I have taken care of friends´ dogs and cats during college. As a pro I always offer a Meet & Greet, so that dogs will recognise my scent and so that cats don't hide upstairs during a drop in. For unknown reasons I am wildly popular with pets, hence this service offer!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
A lot of animals have their own quirks, and there isn´t a one-size-fits-all answer for esp. dogs who fear being alone or "abandoned". I follow owner´s guidance closely but am also good at reading the room. When I see dog walkers staring down at their phones, I always think it´s such a missed opportunity, even if it´s not your own dog! With drop ins I always stay the full time (unless there are agreed upon reasons not to), often I stay longer and take plenty of pictures to document us having a good time. That tends to be easy to achieve!
Ratings and reviews
Thomas was wonderful with our Teddie! He was incredibly responsive and communicative, sending tons of pictures and updates that gave us great peace of mind. Thomas is a genuinely kind and caring human who is passionate about animals. It was a true love fest between he and Teddie! We are so grateful for the wonderful care he provided and would highly recommend him. We look forward to using him again in the future. Thank you Thomas!
Thomas is really great with our dog. She loves him very much. He makes sure the walks meet the dog’s needs. He keeps us informed about the walks as well and schedule changes, if they come up.
Thomas took great care of our kitty while we were away for 10 days, leaving us detailed notes and lots of pictures!
Our new puppy loves Thomas!
Thomas was a fantastic dog walker for our older pup. Great communication, loved the photos, varied routes. Would not hesitate to recommend!
Thomas was a great, personable, and attentive sitter, would highly recommend!

Schedule
I am self-employed and can generally be available without having to rearrange other priorities. We don´t have kids, so we´re a flexible household. I bike around to make the drop in or dog walk eco-friendly too.

- It’s important to talk about quirks, likes, and dislikes beforehand. What’s a favorite toy or game? Does the pet get anxious when left alone or try to escape when you arrive? Rover is great for communicating with owners, so just pop me a message if something comes to mind.
