Pet care experience
Dependable guy for your dog or cat
I've had dogs and cats all my life since I was 5. I've also done a lot of fostering of kittens, puppies, dogs and cats. My last foster was a senior Jack Russell earlier in 2021. I walked him 3x a day, took him to the groomer, and got him on a diet that helps his skin issues. I'm a pro with kittens and cats and can also give oral medication as needed and trim nails. I can also give subcutaneous shots now as my cat Marcus was just diagnosed with diabetes. I give him shots twice a day so I'm very familiar with syringe dosages.

Safety, trust & environment
I would always secure a dog on a leash prior to taking him out on a walk. I would also be especially careful not to let out any cats or kittens: I'm used to that at my house as my cat Marcus tries to get out in the hallways.
Ratings and reviews
Tom did an awesome job making sure our doodle was taken care, and well exercised, while we took a quick weekend trip. Appreciated his dependability, so we didn't worry, comfort with our pup!
Tom was great! My cats loved him. He's really a cat person and knows how to take care of them. He's super reliable and communicates well. 5 stars!
Tom was always punctual and took care of our diabetic kitty so well — it’s hard to find folks comfortable administrating insulin injections to unfamiliar pets, so Tom was a great sitter in that regard.
Tom came over to meet our dog Mabel. She is a 7 and half year old Labradoodle and is very affectionate. She immediately took to Tom and he was responsive to her. We have just moved to the area and Mabel has had a few transitional / new house personality changes. Always outgoing and active, she has been much more reserved as she is getting accustomed to the new place. Tom was VERY patient with her and communicated professionally and with concern. He worked with her to overcome some of. her reservations when we aren't present and we wholeheartedly recommend Tom. We will be having Tom come walk her periodically when we are home so that they can continue to bond and to help her see him as a trusted ally. You can't go wrong with Tom...very dependable and professional.
Great sitter! His communication while walking out baby was frequent and direct, also made sure we got pictures of Chloe… thank you Tom.
A rather last minute booking, Tom was a good communicator, prompt and friendly, stopping in twice while we were gone for the day.

Schedule
I'm currently employed from home but not that busy so I have bandwidth early mornings, lunchtime, and evenings and all weekends. I could have more time if very close to where I live in Wilton Manors in the winter or NYC in the summer.
