I watch Chomsky every day and he’s my boy. I cared for Bella, a Border Collie during grad school for three years. Loved her too.

Tim is a genuine animal lover, and it really shows. My dog is always so happy when he gets to spend time with him and comes home well cared for and content. It’s obvious he truly enjoys being around animals and takes great care of them. I always feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with him, and I know he’s in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet.

Tim has watched our dogs, cats and fish when we go on vacations for the last 14 years. We always know they will receive wonderful care and be safe and happy with Tim. He always goes the extra mile by playing with them and sending updates and pictures. Tim is the best!
