I work from home full-time, which means I’m always around and have the flexibility to take breaks whenever I need to. My schedule allows me to spend plenty of quality time with any dogs in my care—whether that’s for play sessions, walks, or just hanging out to keep them company. Because I’m home most of the week (including weekends), I can easily accommodate daily care routines, feeding schedules, and last-minute needs without any hassle.

Safety, trust & environment

In our own home, I provide a welcoming, pet-friendly environment in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, which is located near several dog parks for fun outdoor adventures. Your dog will have the freedom to roam around and find their own comfy spot to relax. We also have a Pomeranian who would love a playmate—she may get nervous/overexcited (especially around medium and large dogs) at first, but she’s never aggressive; I like to make sure to introduce her to new canine friends at a calm, controlled pace. One of my bigger goals is also to socialize our dog more as well. If you prefer your pet to remain in their own surroundings, I’m more than happy to care for them in your home. In addition to keeping your dog’s routine consistent (like walks, feedings, and playtime), I can also help with basic household tasks—such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, or adjusting the lights—so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Timothy J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any behaviors I should watch out for. At minimum, I require that your furry pet is up to date on their vet shots as well as flea / tick prevention. Thanks!

A typical day

I love creating fun experiences for every dog I spend time with! When I'm with dogs, I love taking them on adventures, like exploring new trails and parks, playing games of fetch, and more. Capturing adorable photos of our playtime is always a highlight, to make sure parents see the happiness their dogs experience during our time together. Most importantly, I prioritize giving plenty of affection, belly rubs, and cuddles, making sure every dog feels loved and secure.

Pet care experience

I’ve had a passion for caring for animals my whole life, which is reflected in my experience - from obtaining work experience at a vet for over a year to taking care of various animals growing up, such as hamsters, fish, cats, and to raising my currently owned Pomeranian since 2021. I've taken her from a tiny pup to a well-behaved, happy companion thanks to multiple dog training sessions I've completed. My goal is always to provide the same level of love and attention I give my own pets, so you can rest easy knowing your furry family member is in the hands of someone who genuinely understands their needs.

Timothy walked Rox while I was out of town. He was communicative and sent pics of my girl. Will definitely reach out the next time I need him.

I’ve known Tim for years, and his love for animals shines through every time I see him around them. He’s always been the go-to person among our friends whenever a pet needs extra care or attention, whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a weekend of pet-sitting. Tim is organized, attentive, and incredibly responsible, making sure the dogs he cares for are well-exercised, well-fed, and showered with affection. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave my own dogs in his care, because I trust his reliability and know that he treats every pet like his own. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, thoughtful, and naturally great with animals, Tim is the perfect person!

I’ve left Tim with my own dog multiple times, mainly during my vacations, and every single experience has been flawless. My puppy leaps for joy when Tim arrives—sometimes I joke that my dog loves him more than me! Tim is not only reliable and punctual, but his calm, caring demeanor really puts my dog at ease. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and schedule, making them feel completely comfortable in his care. Would recommend him 100%!
