Safety, trust & environment

My home offers the perfect environment for your pup to play and relax. I have a fenced yard with a large sun shade, plenty of toys, and video surveillance for added peace of mind. Your dog will enjoy fresh, filtered water and healthy treats (with their human'a permission). For dietary reasons, their humans must provide their dog's food. Your pup is welcome to roam freely inside the house, but if you prefer them to be crated, I can accommodate that as well—just bring their crate along. Rest assured, your furry friend will be safe and comfortable in a clean, well-maintained, smoke-free home. As mentioned in my bio, I have extensive experience in dog care and training. Training services are also available for an additional fee for both the furry students and humans.

Pet care experience

Growing up in a home filled with as many as 15 dogs at any given time, I was immersed in the world of professional dog training from an early age. My mother, a certified service and therapy dog trainer with CCPDT and IAABC credentials, passed on her wealth of knowledge to me as I assisted her in training and caring for our foster dogs. Over the past 25 years, I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience in handling and training dogs of all temperaments. While I am currently working toward my own certification, my background allows me to provide expert-level care and understanding for your pets. I am confident that my lifelong experience can offer the perfect balance of love, care, and discipline that every dog needs. Thank you for considering me as your dog sitter—I look forward to the opportunity to care for your beloved companions.

Tom did an amazing job with our husky, Nanook! He was able to teach him basic tricks like 'sit' and 'lay down,' something I had struggled with for a long time. Nanook responded so well to Tom’s calm and patient approach, and it’s clear Tom really understands dogs. I’m so impressed with the progress Nanook made in such a short time. Excellent experience overall, and I highly recommend Tom for anyone looking for a great dog trainer!

Tom has been amazing with our dog, Star! He helped us address Star's barking and biting issues with clear, effective techniques that made a real difference. Tom's calm and knowledgeable approach gave us the tools we needed to manage Star’s behavior, and we’ve seen such great improvement since working with him. We’re so grateful for his help and highly recommend Tom to anyone needing support with their dog’s training!
