Dogs Need A Vacation Too
Pet care experience
Looking for someone trust worthy, dependable and responsible? Look no further. I am a dog lover and grew up with a family golden retriever. Due to my previous career in Law Enforcement and schedule I was unable to have a dog of my own. Over the years...neighbors, family and friends have relied on me to care for their dogs while at work or on vacation. I would love the opportunity to pet / home sit for you and also ease your mind knowing your pet / home is in good hands (non aggressive dogs only - more details below)
Reviews
Tom is seriously the best. We had him stay with our French Bulldog at our house for 9 nights while we took a trip out of the country. You can’t put a price tag on the peace of mind we had while over 5,000 miles away from home. Tom goes above and beyond and leaves the house spotless. 100% recommend!
Tom is the best! Very responsive and sent pictures and updates throughout our time away. We felt confident that our dog and home would be taken care of with him staying there. We're already looking at future dates to have Tom house sit for us!
Thank you Tom to took care of Lenny like that. Tom spent a lot of time playing Lenny’s favorite games and we could see him on the webcam and it was great. Tom loves dog, it obvious!
Tom was a great host for our Sydney. She came back happy and healthy and had a wonderful stay. Highly recommend his happy home.

Pet Sitting Service: I live in a very safe and dog friendly neighborhood. I have a large backyard that is fully fenced in and a perfect spot to run around and play in. My neighbors also have a very friendly and playful dachshund, so the two can play together. I have a dog play pen on the inside for small dogs, but can easily crate/kennel your dog if needed or preferred or they are more comfortable in that environment. I currently have a kennel that is intermediate in size (36" x 25" x 22" - Perfect for 40 lbs and under). If the dog is more comfortable in their own kennel, the client is more than welcome to bring their own. One of the perks I offer is access to a RING camera I have in the yard. If you install the RING app on your phone and have access to WiFi, you are capable of viewing your pup playing in the backyard. We also use Apple Air tags as an extra layer of security, in the event a dog was to somehow escape (This has not happened as we always supervise the pets in the backyard), however we just like to to have the extra protection incase it was to happen and gives us the capability to track their location. House Sitting Services: You may wonder or ask what makes me different than other house sitters? I formerly worked in Law Enforcement (Approx. 15 Years), but now have a new career with a remote working schedule and offer house/pet sitting services where I stay at the client's home. I have my Florida Class "D” & “G” Security License which is a separate certification and involves training and a background check conducted by the FL Dept. Of Agriculture & Consumer Services. During this time, I am able to keep your home/property secure while the client is away, but also care for their pet in a comfortable setting that they are familiar with. I can also perform other small tasks at the home during this time. Please reach out for further information on services that can be provided along with training and certification requests. Finally, we hold a Business General Liability/Pet & Home Sitting Insurance policy with Pet Care Insurance

Information Tom T. would like to know about your pet
*IMPORTANT* - Please be upfront if your dog has any type of aggression issues towards people/children or other animals. If your dog has any type of aggression issues towards people, I will NOT be able to care for them (I had one bad experience). If your dog doesn't get along with other dogs or animals...that is fine, but please just let me know and I will make sure they are not around other dogs or animals. Also, please let me know if your dog has any special needs/known medical issues etc. I would ask that the owner provides a feeding and activity schedule, so I can keep the routine as close as possible. Lastly, I would like to have the veterinarian information just in case there was some type of medical emergency.
A typical day
The community is a great place for walks and is extremely dog friendly. There are also a couple open fields nearby that are a great area to run around and play in.
