Pet care experience

The best quality care.

As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.

Amazing !! Timmys is truly a dog guy. My dog was like I want to stay here. Timmy fed him and gave him only my treats and was on time and even waited for a bit for me to pick up my dog. No drama and we are both so happy

I cannot recommend Timothy enough. Timothy has been helping to take care of my dog for years and has truly become a part of the family. Timothy first started dog sitting my previous dog Bailey who was older, a little blind, a bit deaf, a little set in his ways and came with numerous medications. Bailey had never been boarded and was always take care of by friends and family, so Timothy was an absolute lifeline. He cared for Bailey with profound patience, gentleness and professional attention to detail that I never worried once while away. I knew Bailey was not just being watched but was being loved and cared for with the same attention and compassion that he received at home. Bailey sadly passed away and I recently brought a new puppy, Theodore, into the family and, of course, enlisted Timothy to provide care. Timothy seamlessly transitioned to caring for a young puppy who is full of energy and still learning his manners. Timothy handles the chaotic puppy energy with diligence, good humor and grace. Timothy recently watched Theodore for a several days and Timothy maintained Theodore's training and schedule, so Theordore did not regress in his training and even learned some new skills while in Timothy's care. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, who treats your pets like his own and can be trusted to follow your pet's care plan, look no further. I highly recommend Timothy.

I’ve known Tim for almost 20 years through a number of his pets, including dogs and cats of different ages and temperaments. I have also trusted him on many occasions to watch both my Golden Retriever (male) and current pit/retriever mix (female). He’s always been a model dog dad, taking excellent care of the pets while also engaging and having fun per their personalities. I trust him completely when he watches my dog, whether for short or extended visits. No hesitation. Tim gets my highest recommendation. Please feel free to contact me if you’d like additional information.

Tim has taken care of my pets for years prior to their passing. He has been active in caring for friend’s pets too. He retired a few years ago and has been actively traveling and pet sitting for others. He is very dedicated to pets he cares for making them his priority the periods that he is with them – playing with them and walking them (or napping when that makes sense). He is very diligent with making sure they have clean water to drink and scoops boxes (when appropriate) multiple times a day. If he is available for your needs (he is very busy) you will be lucky to have him caring for your pet friend.
