Hi! I'm Thomas, and I've grown up around animals my entire life. I've had cats from when I was born until I was 16, and I've had dogs and fish since I was 15 and still have them today. I'm very comfortable around animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that's going for a walk, playing, or simply keeping them company.

I've also looked after dogs belonging to family friends when they've been away on holiday, so I'm used to taking responsibility for a dog and making sure they're happy and well cared for while their owners are away. I regularly walk my own dogs and love taking them on longer walks and exploring new places, including trips to places such as Windermere and Formby.

I'm happy to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and overnight stays, as long as the location isn't too far away. My typical dog walks would be around 30–60 minutes, depending on the dog's needs. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, letting them outside, playtime, attention and anything else they normally need.

For house sitting, I would stay in your home and make sure your pets are cared for and your home is kept secure while you're away. I'm happy to send regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing. For keys, I'm happy to arrange collection beforehand or use whatever secure key arrangement you normally have in place.

I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and very little scares me, so I'm happy to look after almost any dog. I'm also comfortable caring for other animals and would be happy to discuss their individual needs.

I'm available to start immediately. For bookings further in advance, I'll just need to make sure they don't clash with my job, but I'll always be upfront about my availability.

Most importantly, I love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give my own.
