Cat whisperer. Dog’s best friend.

Pet care experience

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 recently have taken a day job and will only be doing Rover part time. My day job is semi-work from home but may require me to leave for several hours during the day. 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

We have used Thomas over and over again because he is phenomenal at providing care for our pups and giving us complete peace of mind when we travel! Cannot recommend him enough!

As always, Thomas did a fantastic job, taking care of pets and a house. The dogs love having him with them.

Just fantastic! Flexible and detail-oriented, a rare combination. We felt relaxed our whole trip.

Thomas is the absolute best!!!! Oliver doesn’t like many people but he loves Thomas so much. We have already booked him for two other weeks later in the year. Both dogs will miss seeing him until then. All the stars?????

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.

Information Thomas T. would like to know about your pet

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?

House Sitting: If you choose house sitting, I would bring a suitcase and stay there the whole time you’re away, aside from a few brief periods during the day. 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.
