Loving Care While You’re Away
Hello! I’m Thomas, a responsible, animal-loving college student with a passion for history and a heart for furry (and sometimes not-so-furry!) companions. While I may be newer to professional pet sitting, I’ve grown up around animals and have cared for dogs, cats, and even reptiles for friends and family. What sets me apart is my calm and gentle nature, I’m someone animals trust easily. Whether it’s going on a long walk, playing fetch in the yard, or curling up for some quiet companionship, I always adapt to each pet’s unique energy and needs. I’m also extremely dependable, respectful of your space, and happy to accommodate special instructions. Bonus fact: I recently had the unforgettable chance to hold a sloth (see my profile photo!), and yes, I stayed calm, steady, and respectful the entire time. 😊 If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own, I’d love to help.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment so your pet feels secure while you’re away. I always follow your instructions exactly, from feeding routines and walk times to medication schedules and favorite toys. I keep a clean and respectful presence in your space, treating your home the same way I would want someone to treat mine. I also send regular updates, including photos and notes, so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s one night or a full vacation, I provide the kind of consistent, loving care that helps pets stay relaxed and happy.
Ratings and reviews
Thomas took care of my dogs, Mic, Nana, and Chabella for 4 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start, his communication was excellent—he kept me updated almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. He was always on time, responsible, and very attentive. He asked thoughtful questions to really understand their routines and needs, which showed how much he genuinely cared. What truly stood out was how above and beyond he went—he also helped with cleaning, and his mom came every day to assist him with the dogs. That level of support, care, and dedication meant so much to me. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely loved him. That says everything. Knowing they were happy and comfortable made it so much easier for me to relax. I felt completely at ease leaving them in his care, and I would 100% trust him again. I highly recommend Thomas to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly great with animals.
Wonderful, concerned, and kept us extremely well informed while we were gone. Good House Sitter too! Could hardly imagine better. Also young enough and strong enough to take the dog on good walks and runs.
Thomas was everything we could ask for in a pet sitter. He was prompt every day, very communicative, and sent pictures and video updates every day! Our 3 dogs looked like they were having the time of their lives playing with him 😂. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area!
Thomas will not only provide exceptional care for your fur babies, but he’ll make sure they ace their next history test too. I worked with him at a high-end Pet Resort, where we’d have an upwards of 200+ dogs/cats/bunnies/birds (ranging in size/aggression) to care across the facility. During that time, Thomas was attentive, active, and all around an A+ team member. I’d let him watch any of my families’, roommates’, own, and even mortal enemies’ pets. He even convinced Emily, the unyielding Blood Hound, to feel joy in her heart once again . . . oh, and did I mention he loves history?
I am a former county attorney and city attorney for two cities. I was also Thomas' neighbor for 6 years. I watched him develop from a conscientious teenager into a polite, responsible and interesting adult. He is incredibly intelligent and very responsible. He frequently helped this eldery neighbor by caring for our dog, and taaking care of tasks around our home when we were away. I heartily recommend Thomas to help you with your pet whether in or out of your home. Whatever you need done he will be there.
I've used Thomas's services multiple times. During the school year we have many instances where we're gone the entire day for a function. Thomas has been great at stopping by the house multiple times a day to let our dog out to do his business and give all the animals (3 cats, 1 dog) some love and treats while we're out.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Right now, pet care is my main focus. I’m not working a full-time job at the moment, which gives me the flexibility to be fully present and reliable for the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, dog walks, overnight stays, or extended holiday care, I’m able to adjust my schedule completely around your pet’s needs. I treat every booking as a top priority, making sure pets get not just attention, but consistency and comfort while you’re away. Since I’m local, dependable, and have a calm presence, I’m especially good with pets that do best in their own space and routine.
