Tom was very friendly and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We would not hesitate to use him again and recommend him very highly!

Tom took great care of my golden retriever during the day while I was visiting from out of town. He went on a couple of walks and even got brushed. Tom was caring, communicative, and easy to coordinate with. Two thumbs up and a big tail wag.

Tom watched my little pup Isaiah for a week while I was away. Isaiah is older and needs more care than most, and Tom did a great job giving him medications, taking him on walks, and keeping him company. He sent me little messages too so I knew my baby was in good hands. Thanks Tom!
