Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Buddy
We have had dogs as part of our family for over 25 years and have enjoyed the quirky and playful companionship that they have provided while raising them along with our two sons. The boys are off to college and we recently lost our beloved German Shorthaired Pointer to cancer. We are not ready for a new dog of our own but welcome the opportunity to share our love with your dog. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and like to stay active with walks around the neighborhood or at the park. We have a large, fenced backyard and are looking to care for one dog at a time or two if they are from the same family. "Dogs are not our whole lives, but they make our lives whole." Roger Caras

Ratings and reviews
Thena had a great time with Tom and Shelly! They were awesome at keeping me updated with how she was doing and pictures along the way. Very much appreciated the attention they gave her!
This was my first time using Rover and I was very apprehensive about leaving my dog baby with strangers. We had a meet and greet with Thomas and Shelly and they instantly put all my fears at ease. Harper showed no signs of stress at all and soon was bounding around like a baby deer in their large secured backyard. During her stay with T &S they sent me photos, videos and texts letting me know that Harper was settling in great. I would highly recommend Thomas and Shelly with your fur baby.
Tom and Shelly always take such good care of Winston. They send updates and photos and he comes home so happy and well cared for. Thank you guys!
Thomas and Shelly did a great job with taking care of our senior dog. They sent photos of what trouble was doing and you can just tell he was having a good time. They have a beautiful spacious home and trouble got a chance to enjoy what living in a big house felt like. He said his credit score rose up by 60 points staying in their home. Trouble doesn’t do well staying in hotels especially if hotels have a small space for dogs to relieve themselves and he doesn’t like the noise during the day. It was in his best interest to find sitters that have experience with senior grumpy dogs like trouble.
Thomas and Shelly did an amazing job taking care of our two Huskies! They made sure they got plenty of walks, kept us updated throughout their stay, and were very responsible with giving them their medications. We felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were in such great hands. 10/10, highly recommend, and we would definitely use them again if we ever need a sitter!
Thomas and Shelley did an amazing job looking after Zoe. Sent updates and pictures the whole time. Would absolutely love to have them take care of her again.
