Highlights
Pet care experience
I think dogs are paw-some!
I've grown up with dogs my whole life, mostly Miniature Schnauzers, so caring for them is second nature to me. I absolutely love being around dogs and can’t wait to get to know yours! I have over 10 years of experience living with and looking after dogs, from playful puppies to rescues with complex needs. I’m active and outdoorsy, so I’m always up for adventures if your dog enjoys them, but I also know how to create a calm, comforting environment when that’s what they need. I really welcome open communication about your dog and their needs so I know how to best take care of them.

Ratings and reviews
This is the third time we’ve used Tom and can not rate him highly enough. Managed things so well in the hot weather and without exaggeration our dog needed persuading to leave. Thanks so much - we will see you again!
Tom and Georgie were great, Bonnie immediately settled in their home and it's clear they took great care of her. Tom was sure to double check routine/schedule details to make sure Bonnie was looked after the way we wanted which I really appreciated. Would absolutely book with them again!
Thanks for giving Monty a great break. He clearly loved staying with you . See you again soon
Lina settled very easily with Tom and Georgie and seemed to have had a happy stay. Thank you!
Tom was brilliant! First time using Rover and I felt that Roxy was left in safe hands. Roxy is quite an anxious dog but she seemed to settle well and Tom kept me updated with messages and photos. I would definitely ask Tom to look after Roxy in the future
Thanks so much Tom for looking after Bailey so well. I appreciated the daily updates.

As a freelancer with a flexible, mostly work-from-home schedule, I’m available throughout the day to give your dog consistent attention and care as part of my everyday routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog like part of the family. We have secure yard space. I recommend bringing your dog’s own bed, toys, and treats to help them feel at home.
A typical day
We’re close to the river for great walks and have large open fields nearby for energetic dogs who enjoy running, exploring, or socialising with other dogs.
