Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Tom, and I'm a passionate dog lover who is excited to offer my services as a dog sitter, walker, and trainer. I've had the pleasure of owning and caring for my own four legged daughter, Auggie, for over four years now, and in that time, I've developed a deep understanding of what dogs need to be happy and healthy. But my experience with dogs goes far beyond my own pet. I've been around animals my entire life, and I've always had a natural connection with them. That's why I'm so eager to offer my services to other dog owners who need a little extra help taking care of their furry companions. What sets me apart from other dog sitters, walkers, and trainers is my commitment to building a strong bond with each and every dog I work with. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own personality and needs, and I'm dedicated to tailoring my services to meet those needs. Whether your dog needs a walk, a playdate, or a little help with training, I'm here to help. My goal is to help your dog mature into a happy, healthy, and well-trained pup that you can be proud of. So if you're in need of a reliable, enthusiastic, and experienced dog sitter, walker, or trainer, look no further than me. I can't wait to become your dog's best friend and help them thrive!

I have been using Tom to walk my peek a poo. He is always prompt and really takes care in handling my pooch. Highly recommend!

Tom is a really sweet guy who gets along great with all dogs! He never has any issues with either of my two hounds, and they’re always happy to see him.

One of the ways I prioritize the health and well-being of my own dog is through a healthy diet. I believe that good nutrition is the foundation for a happy and healthy dog, and I make sure to provide my pup with a balanced and nutritious diet. I also make sure to monitor their intake to ensure that they are receiving the appropriate amount of food for their size and activity level. In addition to a healthy diet, I am committed to responsible oversight of my dog. This means that I keep a close eye on them at all times, whether we're out for a walk or playing in the park. I understand that dogs are curious and can get into trouble, so I make sure to provide a safe and secure environment for them to explore and play. When it comes to training, I believe in positive reinforcement methods that help to build confidence in dogs. I work with my own dog, as well as any other dogs in my care, to help them develop the skills they need to be successful and obedient. By using positive reinforcement techniques, I am able to help dogs feel empowered and confident, which makes them more likely to take commands from their owners. I DO NOT USE E-COLLARS. I am not against them, but I believe there are other ways to get successful results from training sessions :) Overall, I am dedicated to providing the best possible care for dogs. Through healthy eating habits, responsible oversight, and positive reinforcement training sessions, I am committed to helping dogs thrive and become happy, healthy, and well-behaved companions!

In order to ensure that I can provide the best possible care for your pet, I have built my daily and weekly routines around my pet care responsibilities. This means that I am able to provide consistent and reliable care for your pet, no matter what their needs may be. My days typically begin with a morning walk or play session with my own pet, followed by a healthy breakfast and some quality cuddle time. From there, I set aside dedicated time throughout the day to check in on and care for any pets in my care. In addition to my daily routine, I also schedule regular outings and activities for my own pet, such as trips to the park or long walks on a newly discovered trail nearby. This not only helps to keep my own pet happy and healthy, but also allows me to gain valuable experience and insights into the needs and behaviors of other dogs. Overall, my pet care services are integrated into my daily and weekly routines in order to provide the best possible care for your pet. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little extra TLC, I am here to provide the love and attention they need!
