Tom did a great job with a ridiculous amount and variety of pets! I came home to happy pets who all said they had a wonderful time :)

Tom was fantastic! Kept me updated and helped keep me worry free about my fur babies while traveling. I’ll definitely trust Tom with my pups again.

Tom is a gem and we were lucky to find him after our relocation to East Texas. We left our home knowing that our babies were in good hands. Tom was respectful of our property and we were very comfortable being away. It was a fantastic experience.

I've known Tom a couple of years. He calls my Mena a " Velcro dog" because she's constantly against me. Well ,after she met Tom she's stuck to him when he's with her. And my aloof cat Lillie sleeps at his feet! They say he's a great guy and I agree! I would highly recommend Tom.

Mr. Tom, has been watching our 2 dogs for almost 2 years now. One is a small 12lbs, and the other is 65lbs. The bigger dog really took to Tom as a buddy. He's very caring and takes care of them and my home. He respects our property and always leaves the house cleaner than we left it. You would be lucky to have him. Thank you . MRS. Dargan.
