Tom was fantastic! Per usual, he took great care of our pup, kept us updated with photos and messages the entire time, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s always clear our doggo is happy, comfortable, and well cared for when he’s with Tom. 💕 We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Tom again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and just all-around amazing pet sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, a covered, shaded patio, and a small, grassy park right across the street -- plenty of room for running around and even more for napping.

A typical day

There are two grassy parks near my house -- perfect for play time, fetch, and even dog naps under the shade of a tree. I'm also close to two dog parks if you want your dog to socialize with others.
