Information Tom P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and what makes him agitated, excited, or frightened….I can bathroom train puppies and have a special love for Senior dogs.

A typical day

A happy dog makes for a happy owner. I’ll make sure I learn everything about the pet you love. Make me aware of any habits you’ld like to break or have learned by your pet.

Pet care experience

I’m able to pick up on dog personalities quickly and adjust appropriately. Cats a little more difficult😁. Trust animals more than humans, 😎. Love all of them!

Excellent big dog and medium size dog. Shows up and communicates well so you don't have to worry about your pets.

Tom walked, fed and played with our dogs. All directions were followed. He can be trusted and very responsive when the unexpected happens.

We had an amazing experience with Tom as our dog sitter on Rover! From the start, he was incredibly thorough and professional—he scheduled an initial meet and greet to ensure he was a good fit, and then even set up a second visit to go over our dog’s routines and any house-related tasks like garbage, recycling, and plant care. Our dog, Rogue, is 10 years old and can be a bit difficult at times, but Tom handled her wonderfully. He made sure she got her two daily pills and took her on long walks, which she absolutely loved. He sent us daily updates with multiple pictures, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. A neighbor even reached out to us while we were gone and said: "Just wanted to let you know—Rogue has been in good hands and has been a good girl (from what I’ve seen). I’ve seen the dog sitter taking her for walks and every time she looks so happy—big tail wags. Also haven’t heard her barking at all." Not only did he take great care of Rogue, but he also took excellent care of our home—we came back to a clean and well-maintained house. It’s clear that Tom is experienced, caring, and dedicated. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with him again! Highly recommend!

Tom is great! My dog, Norah, is well taken care of when he watches her! I come home to a clean house and he is always quick to respond when I check in!! I’ve used Tom twice so far and have already rebooked with him 2 more times!!

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.
