Rover sitter for over 2 years now!

Pet care experience

Being on Rover for a little while now, I have gained experience with taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I couldn't stress enough how much I love dogs and giving them the best time while their owners are gone. Growing up my family had multiple dogs, all of which were adopted as super young puppies so I learned the patience required when taking care of dogs for many years. I make sure to play with my dogs every day and give them plenty of scratches so there's never a moment they don't feel loved! Growing up, I also dog sat my neighbor's Great Danes next door as well as my grandmother's two little corgi's. I'm used to having dogs as a responsibility :)

Thomas has such a pure love for dogs. It shows in his care and attention to detail. Will book with him again!

Thomas responded quickly to my request when I needed someone last minute. Right off the bat he was sweet to my dog and sent me pictures of him throughout the day.

Our pup had a great day with Thomas and came home healthy and happy! Thomas was very flexible with my schedule and responded quickly to my messages. He is conveniently located to downtown Nashville and I will definitely use him again next time we are in town.

Information Thomas V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how the dog behaves around strangers. Are they super social and loving or do they get a little anxious? Do they prefer to sleep on my bed or have their own space? If they want their own space, I can supply a doggy bed. How often would you prefer to receive photos, videos, text messages and other updates for your dog? In case of an emergency, is there another contact I can call in case you are not available and something happens? Maybe someone that the dog trusts and feel comfortable around? Before walking dogs, I would like to know the energy levels of each dog so I can determine what activities I can do with them. Should I play with them all day or just stop by and hang out? Lastly, I have no breed preferences!

A typical day

Your dog will experience the most amazing stay with me! I'll treat them like they're my own! My apartment has a "Bark Park" so I will be taking them there multiple times a day to run around and play fetch. Doggy Heaven! The area around my apartment is great for dog walks too so I'll be more than happy to take your dog on as many walks as you would like!
