Information Tom M. would like to know about your pet

As I’ve said earlier, I tried to keep a dogs routine, similar to theirs at their own home as far as feeding schedule, wake up and sleep times or medical care

A typical day

Depending on the dogs activity level, I base my play off of that. For high energy jog I make sure they either get time in the yard to run around and play Chase or if they are more of a lounging dog, plenty of time to rest and relax.

Pet care experience

Allow me to take that worry away from your busy day, or getaway and allow your dog to stay in the green grass not too far away. Drop offs/pickups no problems, be happy to help anyway I can. Have flexible schedule for check ins/potty breaks, daily walks, outside exercise as well. From chihuahuas to Great Danes, I have watched dogs of all sizes. Buddy is friendly and welcoming to all. He loves to play and show the way around. Plenty of outdoor space to run, play ball, sit in the sun, and a warm place to rest when the day is done. Let me know how I can make life easier knowing you’re in safe hands. Thank you for your consideration

Tom watched our dog Winnie while we were on a 10-day vacation. Winnie is a shy and slightly skiddish pup, and Tom understood that and gave her the care she needed. He sent us regular updates and photos which was much appreciated. I recommend Tom and plan to board with him again. Thank you Tom!

Tom did a great job taking care of our two dogs. He was very responsive and sent pictures and updates that we really appreciated. We would definitely use Tom as our dog sitter again - no question.
