Expert at training and bonding

Pet care experience

I began dogsitting for Rover in early 2016. However, my experience in training and caring for dogs started when I was a kid. My family always had dogs. Over the years, we had three German Shepherds, two Golden Retrievers, a Lhasa Apso, and I cared for and walked most of the neighbor's dogs too. I trained both of my parents current GSD's and helped cure some anxiety and anti-social behavior in the younger one due to being in the suburbs with little social skills outside of my parents. I've developed a reputation for my training and ability to bond with all dogs. I would love to watch your dog! Special rate for Golden Doodles and mini's! Feel free to ask questions and set up a meet and greet!

Tim watched my little guy for a long weekend and was amazing! Dominick is very spoiled and can be a bit ornery at times, but Tim handled him like a pro. Not only did he send me updates and pictures, but he knew exactly how to handle Dominick when he was being his needy, moody self. Dominick also took to Tim immediately, which isn't always the case! Would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a sitter.

Tim was such a perfect choice for our dog sitting needs. He was very responsive, communicative, and respectful. He kept us updated throughout the stay, sent lots of pictures, and seemed to enjoy Dolly’s company as well! He let me come meet him before to make sure it was a good fit. Will definitely be using Tim again!

Tim has been a great sitter for my pup. I know that she is getting plenty of attention, exercise and socialization with him

Our dog's stay with Tim was a breeze!! He was flexible and sent us the BEST pictures of Rupert. Our usually antisocial Chihuahua warmed up to Tim and his roommate, and it sounds like it was a great boys weekend!

Information Tim A. would like to know about your pet

I would LOVE to watch Golden/Labradoodle/Aussiedoodles... My girlfriend really wants one, and wants nothing more for me to watch some of them. I will even offer a special rate for this breed!

A typical day

The side street I live on, is a great area for walks. There's plenty of grass, and the occasional person & dog. I've found this to be an easy place to take the dogs I watch to do their business.
