Information Tom S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but I do have a dog of my own so I ask that your dog is current on all vaccines. We can work together

A typical day

I love to take dogs hiking and to the dog park, so if you have an active dog, I’d love to spend the weekend or a long afternoon at the park with your pup!

Animal Scientist and Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tom, and I live in Madison, WI. I have a degree in Animal Science and over 10 years of experience in veterinary care, working with both livestock and small animals. I also have a friendly, mixed-breed dog of my own! With my work from home schedule, your dogs get full on care throughout the day, I can do drop in's or overnight's no issue! . My services are completely customizable to fit your pet’s needs—just let me know what works best for you! I am experienced in administering shots and oral medications and am happy to assist if your pet requires extra care. While I don’t require meet-and-greets for new clients, I’m more than happy to set one up if it would help you feel more comfortable before your pet’s first stay. I offer complimentary pick-up and drop-off within 5 miles of Madison! I look forward to meeting you and your pet—thank you!

Tom did a great job keeping us updated while we were away. It was our first time leaving our pup with someone new so we were quite nervous. The daily updates eased our nerves. She was well taken care of!

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.
