Pet care experience

Cat whisperer. Dog’s best friend.

I have had several dogs and cats throughout my life, though am currently petless. I am experienced with puppies, middle age, senior dogs, and pets requiring medication. I work on Rover part time. I am not able to take on clients requiring constant care, but would be happy to be present for feedings and during the night. Here is a summary of my services: Drop In’s: This is when a pet doesn’t need to walk, but just needs to be let out briefly to potty, fed/water, spend some time playing with them, etc. I often do this with cats, and dogs on occasion. I can also do this with other types of pets as long as they are within Rover’s terms of service (Rabbits, hamsters, etc). House Sitting: If you choose house sitting, I would bring a suitcase and stay there while you are away but may have to leave for up to 5 hours at a time. My intention would be to continue your pet’s schedule, walks, feeding, playing, just as you do, and any small house needs such as watering plants, bringing packages inside, etc. I am completely open to dogs snuggling on the couch or sleeping next to me. That’s something you just won’t find at any boarding facility. I am currently not offering certain services requiring use of my home, such as pet day care, but I’m glad to travel where needed in the northern Jackson area

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in a client’s home, I often relax and read books while a dog or cat lays next to me. I try to take funny pictures, but some pets are always a “blur” on camera. I will never have anyone else over without prior permission, I stay within privacy boundaries. I do require internet access for the work-from-home portion of my day job.

Complete peace of mind when we travel is something we value above all else with our pets. Thomas has given us that and goes so above and beyond when he watches our boys! Can’t recommend him enough!

I will likely have other work on weekdays. I will be glad to discuss expectations before booking the sitting to make sure your pets needs will be met.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Thomas can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
For dogs- I want to be prepared for how different they are to control on a leash. If they are all energy and muscle, are there certain commands they will listen to? Are they harnessed?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
