I'll run with your dog!!

Pet care experience

I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life growing up. Love doing fun activities with my dogs whether that be taking them on walks/runs, playing fetch with them, car rides, or taking them for a swim at the dog park with a lake. Very experienced with walking dogs and being able to control them on walks. I have also been to several dog parks before and know the right way dogs should be interacting before it gets to serious. Have brought my dogs to the lake several times before and I know how to assist them in the water. My preferred hours are Monday-Thursday from 6am-12pm. Would love this opportunity to meet your dog and give them the care that they need to have a great summer!

Tom has been around my dogs since he was a young boy, as he got older I trusted him to care for them. I have had 2 sets of 2 black Labs during this time...so he has been with them from puppy hood to older age. All 4 of them have loved him...he plays with them and wrestles with them and shows them lots of attention. I have gone away and he has cared for them and I always come home and can tell they were well cared for...they always seem sad to see him leave. I highly recommend Tom to care for your pets. He is s friendly, caring and responsible young man who will become your dog’s next best friend.

Tom has watched my dog, who is now 2.5 years old, for a max of two weeks straight and showed him nothing but undivided attention, care, love and walked/played with him for as long as I requested. He was extremely responsible with locking the doors and being on time to take my dog for walks. He is a responsible young man, who I would trust with my fur baby on an occasion!

Tom has experience with dogs and puppies of all sizes. He is great at playing with them and getting them running so they get lots of exercise. He warms up to animals easily to engage that puppy playfulness. He is a personable young man with a love for dogs!

Tom was great with my elderly black lab when I was on vacation! He spent the night with him and frequently let him out during the day. He kept me updated throughout the whole time he was there which made me feel very comfortable with him watching my dog. Overall I was very happy with Tom and would recommend him to anyone!
