Retired teacher who likes pets!

Pet care experience

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.

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.
