Safety, trust & environment

Safety and cleanliness are my top priorities for both your pet and your home. You know best what your pet needs, and I bring a proactive and detail-oriented attitude to make sure they get the continuity and love they need while you're away. I am also happy to provide daily updates and photos so you can be at ease knowing your pet is happy.

Information Thomas S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, such as adverse reactions to leashes, other dogs, or people. Especially if they react poorly around tall people or men they haven’t met before. If they have any unique needs, such as extra care routines, please let me know that as well. Otherwise, we can chat about feeding, walking and daily routines when we meet!

A typical day

A day with your dog is tailored to what your dog needs and what you are looking for and allow. But, I love taking for dogs for walks around the neighborhood and through parks, playing fetch in enclosed areas, or playing tug of war and hide-and-seek with treats around the house. For overnight stays, I’m happy to provide limited grooming and to cozy up before putting them to bed.

Never met a dog who wasn’t a friend

Pet care experience

I'm a biologist by training, but an animal lover by nature. I grew up with pets, everything from fish, to guinea pigs, and of course, dogs. I'm experienced walking, feeding, bathing, giving medications, and playing with them till they're worn out and happy. I'm able to handle large and willful dogs and understand the importance of maintaining routines and feeding schedules. Goofballs and furballs welcome.

Thomas was awesome with our pup, Sophie. He came and met her beforehand and took great care of her when we were gone. He was able to give her eye drops, sent regular updates, and was a really great houseguest. Would highly recommend him and are already booked for his next stay.

Thomas did a great job caring for our our pup. He made sure to ask plenty of questions and seems to have done his best keep up with the routine she was familiar with. He also wás able to work through an unexpected issue with our house alarm and stayed late because our flight was a little delayed. He also kept our house in good shape.
