Highlights
Pet care experience
Warm Teacher
I've cared for & trained cats, dogs, rabbits, farm animals, plants, & crops since before I can remember. Growing up in farm country & helping on my uncle’s farm tending dogs, cats, horses, cows, & chickens will always be a part of who I am. •I 🌈♥️ all size pets, & I specialize in larger breed dogs & long stays. •I offer multiple-pet discounts for stays over 5 days & returning client discounts as well! •What sets me apart and the value I bring to caregiving & training is my study and love of animal behavior, paired with my observant & empathic nature. I bring many of my classroom skills to relationships with my furry friends, as a "Warm Demander." This is a particularly effective teaching style that combines observation & receptivity, empathy, affection, encouragement, along with reinforced expectations & boundaries. This results in a mutually trusting & empowering relationship. •On a typical visit : I love to provide lots of opportunities for play, exercise, and of course much affection and cuddles!

Ratings and reviews
Timothy F. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Timothy always does a great job taking care of our pittie mix. He is responsive, sends lots of photos, is knowledgeable about the breed and really cares! He also takes great care of our home while we are away.
Timothy did a superb job taking care of our dog. He gave us regular updates on Percy, and kept him well exercised and happy.
Ti’mo went above and beyond for us and our two little doggies. There was excellent communication, photos, and the dogs adored him. I have never felt so relaxed with someone taking care of our two babies while away. He also left the house spotless and is just a very nice person to chat with. We will certainly work with him again and I cannot recommend him enough.
Great sitter! Very communicative and easy to coordinate with. Clover had a great time.
Always a pleasure to have Timothy watch our pittie mix Louie!

Schedule
I'm currently available for 24 hour care everyday, as I'm working/ studying from home. Drop-in visits and walks are flexible & negotiable, but my best availability is midday after 12pm and evenings after 6pm. Very strict drop-in & walking schedules fall under the category of "special care" and may include an additional fee due to DC area travel factors & for maintaining friendly client relationships. Thank you for understanding.
