Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet owner, caretaker, and friend
I've grown up with, owned, and taken care of pets for as long as I can remember—old mellow dogs, fluffy young kittens, feisty chickens—you name it! The challenge of learning each pet's unique personality and needs has always fascinated me as a caretaker. I love getting to know them and building trusting relationships to give them the best quality of life possible. I’m a retired engineer looking for pet caretaking opportunities to keep life fun and adventurous! My wife, Stephanie, and I currently own one dog and two cats. Our home is in a wooded area with a fully fenced backyard. Pets that board with us have the option of private, single-level living, or they can share the house with us. We also have a standalone pet wash and dry station if pet washing services are something you're interested in. We’ll cater to their needs and ensure they are content and comfortable. I’m also an avid walker and hiker, and I love getting outside whether it’s rain or shine. For dog walking and pet visits, I enjoy heading to local parks (Cypress Creek and Lake Waterford are my go-tos) or patrolling the neighborhood for any new sights and smells.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a dedicated room for dog and cat boarding that is separate from the rest of the home where our dog and cats reside. Any boarding guests can use that private space or can join the other animals in the other parts of the house if they are comfortable. Our fenced in backyard and dog grooming station are on the same level as the dedicated boarding space.
Ratings and reviews
Our dog was a challenge for the first few visits.It was the first time Tim took care of our pets and it was for a long weekend. Tim took the time to earn our dog's trust and was able to play frisbee after a day or so. He truly cares about pets, even our difficult one. By the time we came home he was even able to pet our dog. We will continue to use him during our travels.
Fast response time and easy to communicate with. Thank for your help
Timothy is responsive and my dog just loves him! Lots of pictures and goes the extra mile when needed. Highly recommend!
So grateful to have found Timothy! He is a true animal lover and takes such great care of my sweet little pup! He lets me know everything that happened on the visit in great detail. With small puppies can come big messes sometimes and Timothy has cleaned them up without complaint. So much training goes into raising a well behaved pup and it's nice to know that Timothy & I are on the same page and agree to use the same methods and language. Can't recommend Timothy highly enough!!
Tim has been fantastic. We have been so lucky to have him as our regular dog walker. I couldn’t recommend more.
Great, great dog walker. Thank you, Tim, for all that you do for Bruce. Even in a snow storm!

Schedule
I am a house husband with one dog and two cats. The pets are the focus of my daily routine. My dog and I go to the park every morning and walk the neighborhood at night. Any dogs that I board become part of our family routine. If they are comfortable they can join us on trips to the park and walks around the neighborhood. If they prefer solo time then I will take them on dedicated trips to the park and walks!
