Safety, trust & environment

I live with my partner in a large house in a quiet part of town - we have no children and no pets. We have a large, fully fenced back yard and live 1 block away from a large park. We have air conditioning throughout the house and an access gate on the stairs to control pet access to upper floor (for when stairs are a mobility issue). There are water bowls and comfy dog beds on the upstairs and downstairs levels and we also have a home security camera system to keep an eye on pets while we are out of the home.

Information Tom B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specific care instructions, dietary requirements and ground rules you have for your pup! I am flexible with walk/potty times and keeping reactive dogs away from other pets if required. I am an avid photographer and am more than happy to send regular photo and video updates during my time with your dog.

A typical day

I work from home and like giving dogs regular walks in the neighborhood, always on leash. I also enjoy playing with dogs in the yard or just hanging on the porch. I am located near a dog-friendly taproom where I can take sociable dogs for outings (if they have their pawrent's permission).

Pet care experience

I have looked after many dogs of various shapes and sizes throughout my life, and am currently looking for pups to care for on a short term basis after losing my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Freya, last year. I regularly volunteer and foster for local dog shelters.

Tom & Louise did a great job watching Waffles. He loved his stay with them. He enjoyed daily walks meeting other Doodles & people. Tom provided daily updates & pictures & responded to all questions. We felt very comfortable leaving Waffles in their care & look forward to boarding Waffles with them again.

Tom and his wife were very communicative and sent lots of photos showing a very happy doggo! I will definitely use Tom again!

We had a wonderful experience with Tom and his partner! From the start, we felt completely comfortable leaving our dog, Aspen, in their care. They were warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Aspen had a great time—he came home happy and well cared for. We really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
