Pets: I've fostered hundreds of pets over the years & recently focused on crisis fostering & providing accessible pet care. I often pet sit in my home (which I share with Paisley Bark, a goofy bloodhound) so I usually have 2-5 dogs around. That said, I am able to provide separate space for pets who struggle with reactivity or who simply prefer a calmer environment. Social pets w/permission are welcome to interact with select others under close supervision in accordance w/their preferred personality/play style. For dogs w/separation anxiety (or owner convenience) I provide pick-up & drop-off services. I also offer services in client homes (check-ins, meals, let outs, walks, house sitting) based on the needs of your pet. As pet sitter w/experience caring for a range of medical needs including illness & injury, I am comfortable & adept administering most types of medication (oral, topical, & subcutaneous). I've worked with most breeds/sizes & a vast range of personalities/behavioral needs. I am a proponent of positive reinforcement strategies & I prefer to stick to any routines & schedules a pet is used to so I ask clients to share as much info as they can regarding rules, training, treats etc. so I can provide as consistent an experience as possible. Pet owners are the experts in the care of their pets & I aim to accommodate any requests/preferences. Though I have a lot of experience, owner input is essential to create an environment where both your pet & I are set up for success. Childcare: My mother ran a daycare out of our home & I started helping with the care of other children while I still was one & served as a live-in nanny for my nephew in his first years. Because I often pet sit in my home (to guarantee safety for all involved) I prefer to kid sit elsewhere. My background is Customer Success & Ops so in most of my adult life I've watched kids for friends only periodically but recently started caring for a few kids in my neighborhood. I myself am AuDHD (Autistic w/ADHD) & while we are all different, my experience has motivated me to be as accepting, safe, patient, & compassionate an adult for neurodiverse kids as I was lucky enough to have growing up. My caregiving relies heavily on parental guidance, the more I know the more successful I can be. I only sit for a few kids & while I'm open to more, I hope for open and direct communication with regards to expectations & boundaries to ensure I'm able to meet your definition of great care.

Hello, my name is Thomas l. About me, I’m somewhat of an introvert. I keep to myself, I don’t indulge in too much social interaction (unless it’s with the right person/people that is), I’m just a homebody nowadays. Although I do enjoy outdoors from time to time. Many years ago in my youth, I have worked at a bunch of daycare settings before. I assist teachers into setting up activities for the kids, prepare nap times, keep a close watch on them while they play on playgrounds, go on field trips, and aid the kids with their daily tasks assigned by their teachers. as for pets, I have pets in the past and currently. used to have a dog, few rabbits, goldfishes, and three cats. Two whom are my grandmother’s pet from Phoenix, Arizona. She passed away two years ago. So her two male cats are in my family’s care. So taking care of house pets could be right up my alley. Also, if you need your house clean, I could be up for the task. I could bring my supplies from home or if you had some of your own, and I’ll get right to it. Overall, if anything comes up, I’ll let you know the second I do. Thank you so much for taking your time to read me.
