Highlights
Pet care experience
When You Can't Be There... I can!
I have extensive experience caring for homes and animals of all kinds. Animal care is a primary source of joy and income for me. I also teach yoga and love to practice with the animals I stay with. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and am willing to learn more about other animals that need care while you're away. I will add, there is no option to add rates for animals aside from cats and dogs. I have an additional rate for animals in tanks or cages at a rate of $10 per tank/cage per day.

Safety, trust & environment
I take pride in offering luxury-level care for your beloved pets. During house-sitting stays, I ensure they receive ample attention and playtime to support their mental and physical well-being. As an avid hiker, I make it a priority to get outside daily so with your permission, your pets will enjoy plenty of exercise and fresh air under my care. To provide the highest standard of care and give you complete peace of mind, I kindly ask that any special care instructions be shared with me prior to my stay and documented in detail. This allows me to tailor my approach and ensure your pets' needs are met with the utmost attention and professionalism. DISCLAIMER: To ensure the highest level of care and accountability, I kindly ask that all animals in the household be included in the booking, regardless of the level of care they require. As your pet sitter, it is my responsibility to ensure that all animals in the home remain safe and well during my stay. I also appreciate a tidy home with access to basic amenities to create a comfortable and productive environment for everyone. House sitting is a holistic responsibility, encompassing the care of your home and all its furry, feathered, or scaled residents, ensuring the entire household remains harmonious. Thank you for your understanding and for entrusting me with the care of your home and pets. I look forward to working with you!
Ratings and reviews
Our fourth vacation with Tommy taking care of our kitty's. Always a perfect experience. Will definitely reach out to Tommy when we take our next trip. 5 plus stars.
As I am sure with everyone, we feel a bit uneasy opening your home to a stranger to watch your dogs, but from the meet and greet with Tommy right through the stay, Tommy was awesome with the dogs and the our home. He is a great communicator and would recommend him. This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience.
It is always hard to open your home to someone you don't know. It is harder to entrust your home and your furry family in the care of that person while you travel. However, doing so with Tommy was absolutely worth it. We booked with him for the first time recently and he was conscientious, thoughtful, communicative, and professional. He took the time to meet with us and learn about the quirks of our home (we have an older home and managing it in the cold can be challenging) and the quirks of our fur kids (no shortage of those either). When we returned, pets were happy and healthy, the house was in better condition than it was left, and keeping an eye on the mail. He managed the chaos of our home while sending check ins and pictures regularly. He is the best! Thank you, Tommy!!
This was our first time using Rover and I have to be honest…I was nervous! The thought of a stranger living in our home for a week with my babies was something I didn’t think I’d ever do! However, I decided it was time the hubs and I actually went away together instead of the usual “divide and conquer”. I found Tommy through the Rover search and the many positive reviews he had encouraged me to reach out. I’m SO GLAD I did! He was every bit as amazing as his previous clients suggested. Communication was quick and he regularly sent me pics of the babies. Our home was left clean and he even performed tasks I felt went above and beyond my expectations. We will definitely use Tommy again and encourage you to use him for any of your dog/house sitting needs! You won’t be disappointed! 5 star service!
Tommy is the best, he took exceptional care of our pups while we were away and we knew our home was in good hands! He is very communicative and responsive. He even helped with some household items while we were away. We will definitely utilize his services again!!
Tommy was great and very responsive. He loved my two giants like his own. We will definitely book again.

Schedule
After leaving my office job to fully embrace my passions, I’m now living the dream and dedicating myself to what truly inspires me—providing exceptional care for animals! Along with being a dedicated pet sitter, I’m also a yoga instructor and a songwriter, constantly striving to grow these professional paths. One of the best parts of my transition is the flexibility in my schedule, which allows me to offer personalized care to each of your pets. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a hike in nature, or a playful afternoon indoors, I can adapt to your pets’ needs and make sure they get the attention and love they deserve.
