Pet care experience

Active, caring, flexible schedule!

You have just found your pet's new best bud! Dogs and cats have been a part of my life as long as I can remember; I have raised puppies, rescued dogs from shelters, dog-sat, walked, jogged, hiked, snuggled, and loved animals for my entire life. I have significant experience with almost every type of dog; whether it is a dog show contestant or a rescued mutt, large or small, I love them all! I will provide top notch care, exercise, and enrichment. I myself currently own a 15 year old hound mix that I rescued in college when he was a pup; he previously had an abusive owner and was terrified of men. Over time I nurtured him back to health and he has lived like a king ever since :) I would love to provide the same level of intentional care for your dog or cat as well! I have significant experience with high energy dogs, behavioral issues, and handling large breeds and understand that patience and love go a long way in helping animals live their best life.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am a big believer in the old saying "leave it better than you found it" and will treat your house and your animals as my own. I can provide care for elderly dogs, puppies, and everything in between. I am extremely reliable on scheduling, punctuality, and communication. I am a very active person and would love to provide the best source of exercise for your animals, but am equally willing to spend some down time giving ear scratches and cuddles with those that need it in your home. I have experience with giving medicines, food, etc. as needed.

If you want to know your home and pets are in the best hands possible, book Thomas! I was so grateful for his detailed daily updates and he was even able to win over my super shy cat who hardly comes out for anyone. Both of my cats seemed well cared for and very happy upon my return, in addition to the home being very clean. Awesome sitter!

Thomas was amazing! This was our first time using Rover. Our experience with Thomas was easy, worry-free, excellent care, on time, and dependable. We loved that our dog got to stay at home and on his schedule. I will definitely be using Thomas again.

Thomas did an amazing job doing a drop-in visit and walk with our 1.5-year-old pup. Easy and friendly to communicate with; we will definitely book again! Thanks, Thomas!

Schedule

I am a proud father of 2 girls and upon moving to Asheville found myself in the unexpected yet awesome situation of being a stay at home Dad after many years working in real estate. Both girls are now in school which leaves me with a very flexible weekday schedule that could allow for dog walks, hikes, or just spending quality time of any kind with your pet! I would be happy to discuss further what your specific needs are and how I can address them to give your furry friend their best life possible!
