Information Thomas S. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a seamless and joyful experience for your furry friend in our care, we kindly ask for a few essential details ahead of time. Please share any information about medications or medical conditions that we should be aware of, as your pet’s health and well-being are our top priority. Additionally, understanding your pet’s social preferences helps us create a harmonious environment for all; kindly let us know how they interact with other dogs and cats. It’s important to note that for the safety and comfort of our resident cats and other guest pets, we are unable to accommodate pets that show aggression towards cats. Your cooperation helps us provide a safe, loving, and inclusive home away from home for your cherished companion!

A typical day

From the moment your furry friend steps paw into my home, they’re embraced into a world of warmth, care, and endless fun. Starting the day with a hearty breakfast, they’ll have all the energy they need for the adventures ahead. With my flexible remote work schedule, I am readily available to cater to their every need throughout the day. Morning times are perfect for a bit of outdoor play in my securely fenced yard, where they can chase, explore, and enjoy the fresh air, all under my watchful eye. Around midday, it's time for some well-deserved rest and relaxation. Our senior doggy residents, all gentle and friendly, are the perfect companions for a peaceful nap or some quiet companionship. And for those pets who prefer the company of felines, our resident cats are well-acquainted with sharing their space, ensuring everyone feels right at home. As the afternoon rolls in, we might embark on an adventure to a nearby scenic park, like the UA Arboretum or Sokol Park, ensuring a delightful change of scenery and plenty of exciting smells for your pet to explore. I maintain a strict on-leash policy during our excursions, ensuring safety while allowing them to take in the beauty of nature. Evenings in my home are all about comfort and companionship. After a fun-filled day, your pet can unwind in a cozy corner, play with their new furry friends, or simply enjoy some one-on-one attention from me. And of course, I am more than willing to accommodate any late-night needs, whether it's a potty break, a snack, or just some extra cuddles. Boarding at my place means your pet will have a home away from home, surrounded by friends and cared for by someone who truly understands and loves animals. With a fully insured and licensed pet sitter, you can rest assured that your furry family member is in the safest of hands, enjoying a day filled with play, care, and lots of love.

Thomas was an awesome cat sitter for my two cats over the winter break. I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience! I received daily pictures and came back to my apartment just as I left it. I wholeheartedly recommend Thomas as a cat sitter for those looking for reliable pet care.

Thomas has cared for my pets on numerous occasions throughout the years. I trust him wholeheartedly, and I know my pets are always in good hands with him. I particularly loved his experience with shelter animals, since so many of my critters are special needs or not super well socialized.
