Reliable Dog care you can trust

Pet care experience

I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all sizes for friends and neighbors, but I also have volunteer as a Day Adventurer at ACCT. This has given me invaluable experience with diverse temperaments and leash-handling for dogs of all sizes. I grew up with dogs, but don’t currently have one of my own. Whether your dog requires a strict crate schedule, specific walk times, or high-energy exercise, I am happy to do whatever they need to feel safe and enjoy their time while your away. Availability: I work a standard weekday schedule at Penn (with occasional WFH days), so I am ideally suited for dogs who enjoy a morning and evening "adventure" with a calm midday nap! On weekends I am free! My apartment is adjacent to park and SRT

I highly recommend Tim as a pet caregiver. He has been caring for animals since he was in 8th grade, and his experience and genuine love for pets really shine through in everything he does. Tim is incredibly responsible, dependable, and attentive. He doesn’t just make sure pets are fed and safe—he takes the time to engage with them, play with them, and make them feel comfortable and loved. He has a natural connection with animals and is especially patient with pets who may need a little extra care or reassurance. What stands out most is how much he truly enjoys being around animals. You can feel confident knowing that your pet will be treated like family in his care. I would absolutely trust Tim with my own pets( and often have had him care for my husky mix dog) and recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Tim is a fabulous caregiver to my neurotic mixed breed rescue, Henry. Henry is always psyched for the opportunity to go for a walk with Tim! Tim has also dog-sat at my home multiple times. Not only does he take excellent care of Henry (and send photo updates which I love to see!), he is also a very tidy and respectful houseguest. Tim's calm demeanor and friendliness make him a great pal to my anxious little guy!

Tim is my go to person to watch my dog Buddy. I love how he sends me picture and video updates it makes going away so much easier knowing my dog is in good hands and I get to see updates of Buddy having so much fun! Tim takes his time to listen to all my instructions and walks 4-5 times a day. (I'm a crazy dog mom.) Buddy loves Tim so much that he gets so excited every time he comes over.
