Dog loving active person

Pet care experience

I have always loved having a dog in the house since I was a child. I have recused several greyhounds from a Florida recuse that a family member runs. Most recently I had two greyhounds (Early and Phoebe). Early and Phoebe have since had to move with my father due to a recent career change that requires me to travel on and off. I miss them everyday but I know they are happy with their other doggy friends there. They were such a big part of my life and wish I could have them with me but it wasn't fair to them. Sometimes I have weeks off. I would love to hang out with your pups and take them for walks or whatever! Since having greyhounds and a small Yorkie I'm familiar with dogs who are afraid of nothing and ones who get scared from their own shadow! If you have any other requests or special needs just let me know and I will do whatever I can!

I am so glad we connected with Tom to take care of our dogs when we are out of town. It is unusual to find a sitter who only takes one client at a time, and this gave us peace of mind that there wouldn't be conflicts with other pets our dogs weren't familiar with. Tom immediately won over our more timid dog by playing tennis ball, and both dogs seemed very comfortable with him. It seems like they had a great time, they were relaxed and happy in the photos he sent, and when we came to pick them up.

I was very happy with Tom’s care of my golden retriever, Emmett. Since this was Emmett’s first time away from me, I was worried that he would be nervous. Tom took great care of him, taking him for long walks and playing ball with him, his favorite toy. I would definitely have Tom take care of Emmett anytime.
