Sitter/Dog Trainer Extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

My girlfriend and I have owned a pet sitting/dog training company for five years. We have looked after all the cherished pets of family, friends and community. I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, lizards, frogs, nonvenomous snakes, rabbits and yes, even the occasional tarantula! We are also accomplished dog trainers with many years of training dogs of all ages and breeds. I can help with teaching your new puppy basic obedience commands, help with rescue/foster dogs with new commands and behavioral training. I can also train your dog at an intermediate/high level of obedience if he/she knows the basics and has the right personality. I specialize in training dogs to walk nicely on leash, i.e. no pulling or straining. I work from home every day, so short notice availability can usually be accommodated! Can do days, nights, weekends, some combo of each, or whatever your needs are! We do not currently have a fenced in back yard, but I make it work! We have a nice house in a quiet neighborhood and our neighbors love seeing all the new fur kids coming in and out. We own a sweet Doberman, a goofy Miniature Pinscher and a large, very chill tuxedo cat. So your babies will be safe and have some fun playmates! We will be moving to a house with a fenced in backyard early next year.

We recently adopted a rescue dog and needed him to be cared for while we went away. Tom and Katie were FANTASTIC! Prior to our trip we did a meet and greet to consider boarding Mayter. We were comfortable with them from the 1st time we met. They stayed in contact, sent pictures and sent updates. We were so please with the care that Mayter received when we were away. I highly recommend them.

Tom and Katie were great! My little ark went to stay with them for a week while out of town. I was very nervous as I just moved into town and did not know anyone. They sent me pictures everyday of my furrbabies and gave me updates on how they were settling in. They treated them like they were their own pets. Very professional and will use them again.

Katie did a wonderful job with our dogs. She followed directions and did extremely well. We thank her for being so patient with them.

Information Tom B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I can give medication orally, as well as injections. I have experience caring for elderly/sick and deaf/blind pets.

A typical day

I like to make sure dogs get adequate exercise, so there will be lots of playtime! There are over 20 different toys in our house, so whether your dog likes to play with balls, ropes, frisbees or squeaky toys, he'll have a lot to choose from! I also like to give dogs mental stimulation, so short little training sessions with treat or toy as rewards.
