Dog lover for hire

Pet care experience

I’m wrapping up 35 years as a painting contractor and can’t quite retire without a little more income than social security. I’ve been thinking about what I want to do for an easy part time job and when I came across this I thought it would be perfect. I love dogs and I love to walk and hike. I’ve had dogs most of my life but when our last one passed away my wife balked at getting another. So here I am really wanting a dog and sorta stuck unless you let me spend time with yours. I’m sure it will give you peace of mind knowing that a responsible person is taking care of it. You would be doing me a big favor. Thanks

Information Tom S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs for your dog specifically and their breed. Also, when walking, does your dog need water brought with me and treats?

A typical day

I like to challenge dogs mentally as well as physically. Games of remembering and searching for things is especially fun, and I also like spending quality time at dog parks
