Pawsitive Walks:Your Dog's Best Pal

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for and deep connection with dogs. In my past experiences, I’ve built strong relationships with dogs of various breeds, as highlighted by the testimonials from friends whose dogs I’ve cared for. My approach is rooted in trustworthiness, compassion, and dedication. I have experience caring for a range of dogs, from a 3-year-old German Shepherd/Border Collie mix to labs and jack russel mixes. I’ve shown that I can provide attention, exercise, and specialized care tailored to the unique needs of each dog, whether it’s ensuring a high-energy pup gets proper exercise or giving senior dogs the gentle care and companionship they deserve.

Tom was quick to respond for a short notice request and was a great sitter for our dog. He made sure to ask questions and we were confident our dog was in great hands. We would definitely hire Tom again.

Tom was professional, communicative, and responsive! Tom took good care of our 2 40'lb dogs at our house while we were away and provided photos and updates on how everyone was doing.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer walks to dogs and drop-ins as services for dogs. Additionally, I’m willing to do drop-ins for cats. For dog walks, I ensure a stimulating and safe experience by choosing routes that cater to their energy levels and preferences. During drop-in visits for dogs, I provide companionship, feeding, and playtime, following the routines established by the pet owner. When it comes to cats, my drop-in visits involve maintaining their comfort by replenishing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time engaging with them.

Information Tom Y. would like to know about your pet

Does you dog have any critical health or behavioral issues? What are some habits or routines that I must pay close attention to? Do I need to bring a leash or would all necessary equipment be available on site?

A typical day

I’m excited to engage in a variety of fun activities with the dogs under my care. Living near Franklin Park allows us to explore its spacious grounds and numerous trails, making it an ideal location for invigorating walks and runs. I particularly enjoy taking dogs on long walks and runs, allowing them to experience the outdoors to the fullest. In addition to walks, I love playing catch and fetch with the dogs. This not only provides them with physical exercise but also keeps me active and healthy. The open spaces at Franklin Park provide the perfect backdrop for engaging in these activities.
