Vast experience in pet care

Pet care experience

Linda R., my boss at our home boarding facility, was a trainer. I believe that the experience I gained assisting her, both on training calls at clients' homes and at Laughing Dog (our place - mostly puppies and adult dogs with housebreaking issues) have given me great insight into canine behavior. I also learned invaluable techniques for working with dogs of every temperament and size. I gained a great deal of knowledge concerning ailments and physical conditions common in various breeds. Therefore I am ready, willing and able to work and play with all the wonderful dogs out there. I know what can be seen as a difficulty or eccentricity is also a wonder. I have more words left: I dated an English teacher. When she ended it, she said, "It's not you, it's I."

Tom and his late wife, Linda, trained, walked and cared for my late dog for nearly 15 years from the time we got him as a 10 week old puppy until he died. One could not ask more from a dog caregiver and walker than Tom to say nothing about how much my dog loved Tom and his wife. For my dog's first several months, Linda came over every day at noon to walk the puppy and train him. Then Tom took over the daily noon time walks. Tom is exceptionally knowledable about dogs, dog health, training, and care, which includes being cognizant of walking conditions and how the dog is behaving. Many times, Tom noticed health problems before we did. He is unusually professional, thoughtful and responsible. I might add, when we had emergencies in the family, I could always count on Tom and Linda to pickup my dog and board him for as long as we needed. You will not be dissappointed with Tom as your dog walker and caregiver.

Tom has been walking my dogs for many years. Like at least 10. I’ve lost count. I believe he is the most reliable dog walker in New York City, communicating if he is delayed or if one of my dogs exhibits any unusual behavior. He walks my two dogs alone, not with a huge posse. He is a kind and thoughtful man and a great reader! I recommend him highly.

Tom has great skill with dogs, and has been involved with their care for as long as I have known him, which is over twenty years. He was the only person I trusted to board and care for my beloved Audrey, whom he cared for many times. He and his late wife owned a thriving kennel in Brooklyn, from which they also trained dogs, and ran a busy dog walking business. Having seen Tom in action, caring for my own dog and those of others, I highly recommend him as someone who will meet and exceed your expectations.
