Pet care experience
I have loved and cared for pets since I was a kid. I understand the particular needs of all age groups from puppy care to elder care. I currently have a 2 y/o black lab named Ember who is attached to my hip and loves “working” with me at the fire station. She has worked just about every shift with me since I snatched her up. She is gentle, easy going and friendly with all kinds of animals and people. I have the ability to separate the pups if they need a break while we spend time together. I am married, currently working part time two days a week and have lots of free time. We have a nice, clean, safe, smoke free home with a new large deck and huge fenced in back yard with no kids or distractions. After over 20 years working on a ambulance and caring for the public I am happy and eager to spend more of my free time with your pups! I am usually available Thursday and Friday nights after work even though the day on my calender says unavailable. If you are a regular or repeat customer trying to book and are not able to on my callender send me a message to double check availability. I am able to take care of your pets like they are my own. Reachable 24/7 by phone and can accommodate special needs or concerns you have in our home or yours. I am a Lyme disease and Co-Infections survivor. Awareness of our surroundings and basic head to paw tick checks when we have exposure are standard of care year round. I currently work two days a week at the fire station on the ambulance and have lots of free time to take care of pups. I have a large secure fenced in yard and deck area. Your pup is getting mostly constant care while they are with me. They are not just left alone like with many other sitters or in a sketchy kennel. My dog hangs out with me like family all the time. Your pup will just be joining our pack. They have full acess inside and and plenty of room to play and relax. All dogs and people only drink AlexaPure Pro filtered water here and its always available and fresh. I have the ability to separate if needed. Crates are welcome and encouraged for stays. I have a medium to large crate available if needed.
Reviews
Tom has boarded my dog overnight three times now as well as watched him for a half day. Neo LOVES Tom, his wife and their dog Amber. He gets so excited to see him and it puts me at ease to see the picture while we are away and to know that our dog is having his own happy vacation, instead of missing us!
Tom has watched him for a day and boarded my Doodle twice now and always takes amazing care of him. He comes back happy and tired each time and I get updates while we are away to show he is adjusting fine. He gets excited for each return.
Two happy pups and plenty of pictures! This was our second booking with Tom and the excitement of the dogs on drop off is enough proof for me that he is fantastic with them! Thanks again Tom!
Tom is the best! My dog jack is always happy to see him and Ember!

Information Tom D. would like to know about your pet
Tell me about your pup and give me a history on their behaviors. What they like, don’t like etc. Let me know of any concerns, medical conditions or accommodations you need. Meet and greets are very important! You need to feel comfortable with the situation. But we also need to be comfortable to accept. :)
A typical day
You can choose what works best for your dog! Love to engage and play, throw the ball, go on adventures in your neighborhood or at the park and even swim. My dog LOVES to swim. I can tire them out with lots of excitement or provide relaxing friendly support and companionship. If your staying with us for the day or the night then you will just be joining the pack and hanging out with us like they would at home with a little added fun. Your dog is a priority!
