Safety, trust & environment

I live in a home in Livermore but commute to Pleasanton often. I walk/run extensively everyday. I would love to have your dog join me!

Information Tom K. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs of all personalities, but in order for me to give your dog the best experience, please tell me directly about your dog: - General temperament/energy and excitement level - Anxiety triggers, if any - Eating habits - General behavior around other dogs - General behavior around other humans - How they are off leash/ If that is something you do

A typical day

*60-minute go for a better rate so please check my service options. I walk my dog often at the Pleasanton sports park. I like to play fetch with my dog Falco. He loves sticks so I just look for a nice stick for him whenever we go out. He also loves tennis balls which I have plenty of.

Pet care experience

Dogs and canines are my favorite animals on earth. I currently have a Shiba Inu of my own. Please reach out to me if something comes up in your life and you need a hand with your fur children. Do not hesitate to message me for a chat so you can decide whether or not I’ll be a good fit. In most cases I will respond in 2-10 minutes

Tom took the time for an introduction before booking to meet our dog and learn about her needs and quirks. He has been very patient with her and has given her the time she needs to warm up to him. He communicates concerns well, so that we can reach a mutually agreeable plan and sends status updates proactively. We’ve been pleased with his walking services so far and would recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
