Safety, trust & environment

Information Tom B. would like to know about your pet

Age, special needs or requirements for the dog/cat, level of training/obedience, does the dog get along with other animals? Feeding routine, is the dog house trained?

A typical day

I love to walk around my farm with my dog. There's tons of room to run, play fetch, and work off some energy. There are lots of parks in the area we can go to as well.

Pet care experience

I've had pets all my life as well as taking care of my own, family members, and friends' animals. I live on a 3.5 acre farm with plenty of room for dogs to run and play, on leash or off. I'm also experienced in keeping dogs controlled and safe when on walks in public.

Tom was GREAT! He sent us pics of our fur babies, and made sure they were comfortable! They enjoyed being on a farm - with all the different scents!

Tom, as usual, came dashing to our request for help. We came home in ice/sleet/rain/snow mess. We rolled down our street at 4am doing 15mph. Scariest weather event I have been involved in. Scary. Thanks tom!
