Doggy Day Care • May 11, 2026

Tom was a completely fabulous dog sitter! He was also flexible, easy to communicate with, followed our instructions, and was always punctual. Our pup had a great time with him. We totally recommend Tom- he’s a real pro and dog lover.

Tom is a caring and wonderful sitter, especially for older dogs like our Riley, who requires daily eye medication and a special diet. He clearly understands their needs and is able to adapt to any situation. Tom's photos and messages each day allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. We are truly grateful to him for taking such good care of Riley.

I knew my dog was in great hands with Tom! He was a good communicator and sent lots of updates on Gracie’s stay. He took her on many outings and it seemed like she had a great time.
