Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired teacher who likes pets!
I am dependable, responsible and caring. I have cared for dogs, cats and an assortment of other smaller pets for most of my adult life. I take the care of your pet quite seriously. I have a fenced in yard for off leash FUN! Alternatively, there is a half acre of yard next to the fenced in area. My home is adjacent to a state owned nature trail, away from traffic. Dogs love this area! As a former business owner my clients entrusted me to complete work in their homes, often without them being present. I built my business on trust and dependability. I do not have any other responsibilities that would take me away from keeping to my appointments. I enjoy caring for pets and believe they are to be treated like members of a family.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Tom has helped walk and watch Lexi for years. He has always been reliable, communicative, and enthusiastic to spend time with her. Our family appreciates the time and care Tom is willing to spend with Lexi and would enthusiastically recommend his services to others on Rover.
Wonderful first experience with rover, Tom was so good with teddy bear.
Tom was by far the best dog sitter I have used. His home is clean and well kept, and Tom has a very insightful and kind demeanor. He picked up on my dogs needs and likes very quickly. I could tell by the photos that my dog was well taken care of, and was relaxed and happy. What more could I ask for? Wonderful experience start to finish. I will always turn to him first when I need a sitter.
Tom was very warm and welcoming to “a first time boarder”. Rey has a lot of energy so Tom walked and exercised her each day and sent daily photo updates.
Tom was extremely caring and took great care of our German Shepherd on a late night walk. She seemed to get along with him very well, and we plan on booking Tom again in the future.
Hannah enjoyed her stay. He walked her twice and was very caring. I will definitely use him again if we can’t take her with us. I highly recommend him.

A typical day
I like to play fetch within my fenced-in back yard. There's a State Nature Trail behind my residence where we can take walks on a dirt path away from vehicle traffic. I regularly take dogs for a walk in the dog park located at the other end of the cul-de-sac.
