A companion for your furry friend!
Pet care experience
I'm a 30ish dog-loving Dad working out of my farm house in Boxford. I live in pet friendly home with a huge yard. My fuzzy buddy Hank is a lab/collie mix and my right hand man. He loves making new friends and playing for hours. We spend our time together walking the property (appropriately leashed) and neighboring fields and trails. I'm easy going, available and reliable. My wife has a soft spot for furry friends and is home every night to help out. Both of us are over shadowed by the love our daughter has for doggies. She acts as the welcoming committee: your pet will be showered with hugs and kisses (and probably snuck a few extra cookies)! I understand everyone has their own pet routine and will always strive to maintain it. Let me know what your dog needs and I guarantee they'll be happy and safe with me!
Reviews
Reuben had a wonderful stay with Tom and his family! Tom was great about sending us photos and we were so happy to know Reuben was having a fun vacation too! We know Reuben was treated like family and all his needs were met and exceeded!
I can't recommend Tom enough. Dudley (our 10-yr old lab mix) had never stayed with anyone other than immediate family prior to his 4-day visit with Tom. Within 5 minutes of meeting Tom and Hank (Tom's dog) I knew I had nothing to worry about and that Duds was in very good hands. He made sure Duds got plenty of exercise and sent regular updates/pics of Duds in the fields and then resting throughout the house. My wife and I were a little nervous Duds may not want to come home. I will certainly use Tom again and thank him for taking such good care of our Duds. If you're looking for someone to take superb care of your dog, I doubt you'll find anyone better than Tom.
Tom is amazing--a total animal person! He's one of the most caring and nurturing people I know, and will ensure that your furry friend has all of the comforts of home while under his care. Tom's background in fitness and running makes him a prime candidate to make sure all of your dog's activity needs are met, and he has plenty of space in his yard if that's what your pup needs. Tom has also been very dedicated in training his own pets. His dog, Hank, is a total sweetheart, who enjoys hiking and running with his humans. Fun fact: Tom even trained his cat to use the toilet once long ago. If that's not impressive, I don't know what is :)
Full disclosure, Tom is my wonderful husband. All bias aside, I couldn't think of anyone who is better suited to care for animals than Tom. We got our first dog, Hank, almost 5 years ago. Since day one, Tom was a natural when it came to everything dog related in our house. Tom has taken on most of the responsibility from training and medical care, to playing and taking Hank on adventures. As an outdoors enthusiast, Tom takes Hank on long walks and runs for miles in the woods behind our house, and Hank always comes back dog tired and happy as can be. The two of them have become true companions and it is a joy to see. Tom really is the ideal dog caregiver and I'm confident anyone would be more than satisfied with his service as a dog sitter.

I'd prefer dogs that are comfortable around other animals in a family environment.
A typical day
I live on quiet country roads and abut conservation land with miles of trails and fields for exploring. Our back pasture is safe and secluded for tennis ball and frisbee chasing.
