Availability

My partner and I co-watch any pups coming into our home. As we have different schedules, she handles the pups in the morning while i am at work and I take the pups throughout the night. So they will always have someone available to watch them we also both work within the area so we will be able to accommodate most drop-offs and pickup times. Our pups get bathroom breaks every 3 to 4 hours from the moment we wake up to when we go to sleep. Our backyard is gated and fenced. I also do not allow the dogs to be left outside by themselves, so their dedicated bathroom breaks are always supervised by me. If your dog prefers walking instead of a yard i have a route i walk dogs on to let them get out any excess energy.

If the dogs are not compatible or do not seem to mesh well with each other I will keep my dogs gated off from your dog so as to not cause any harm to either pet. if they are compatible they will have free range of the house to roam and play

Information Tommy J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any allergies or diet restrictions. If they need any kind of medication, they need to take I will accommodate to the best of my abilities.

A typical day

Depending on the time of the year, your dog will be joining mine in activities. Such as in the warmer seasons, we do walks up to the park in my neighborhood to let the dogs relax, as well as go swimming if they are fans of the water. Or if it's near Christmas season, we will either drive around the neighborhood or walk around looking at the Christmas lights.

Pet care experience

My family has owned dogs since before I was born I have had the pleasure of growing up with dogs all my life and own 2 of my own that I have raised since they were both puppies. I worked with senior dogs when I was younger and with puppies as I got older.

Tommy was awesome!!! His communication is top tier. He sent several updates, pictures and videos a day! This helped ease my mind since it was Obi’s first time with Tommy. Obi can be quite anxious when he is with strangers and I could see through the updates how comfortable he became!! We are so grateful for Tommy’s patience and how much he cared for our boy!

Tommy J. was an absolute lifesaver! I had a last-minute trip this weekend and he graciously took my Yorkie, Mello, on very short notice. Tommy and his girlfriend Christy went above and beyond caring for him. They provided constant updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Mello was happy, comfortable, and being treated like part of their family. It means so much to know your pet is in such caring hands. I’m incredibly grateful for their kindness, flexibility, and genuine love for animals. I would absolutely trust Tommy with Mello again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
