About Tom

Hi! My name is Tom and together with my partner Sarah your pet will be welcomed with open arms!

Originally from the UK, both Sarah and I moved out to Australia 2.5 years ago. We both miss our pets dearly and decided to start dog sitting for friends out here, and are now at the point where we want to set up a profile to help more people and their dogs. I had a Labrador called Dotty back home and Sarah had a French Bulldog called Chewie, both very loved and missed heaps!

Between us we have spent lots of time dog sitting since being in Australia, looking after friends pets whether it be just a quick walk or having them stay with us for a few nights. We have dog sitted numerous breeds including Labradors, Frenhchies and Dachshunds. During my farm work I also cared for and looked after 8 dogs - here I walked, fed, trained, groomed and administered medication, alongside all the love and care that dogs need!

Services Include

  • Frequent and multiple walks in local park and down to the beach
  • Daily coastal walks (1-2 hours dependant on how long your pet stays with us!)
  • Up to 2 dogs boarding at the same time
  • Both of us work in flexible WFH jobs, meaning your pet won't be leaving our sight all day!
  • Availability both weekdays and weekends
  • Our Home

    • A spacious 2 bedroom appartment located in the heart of Bondi
    • Short 5 minute walk to local park, 15 mins to Centennial Park
    • 10 minutes from the coastal walk. Alongside this we are both very active people and love to take any dogs we are looking after out for long walks in the fresh air!
    • Look forward to hearing from you!

      Another successful pet sit for our toy poodle. She feels very comfortable staying with you and you clearly take good care of her. Our second time and I’m sure we will be back again. Thanks Tom.

      Tom and Sarah were great pet sitters. Our dog was happy and well looked after. She can be a bit stressed when away from us but she fitted in very well. We were happy with the care they took and we will definitely use Tom and Sarah as sitters again.

      Dog owner for 10 years back in the UK. Have looked after numerous dogs since being in Australia including overnight stays, house sitting, dog walks and group dog walks. Regular feeding of dogs back in UK over the past 7 years and general love and care required for such wonderful pets! Have also been responsible for 8 dogs during my farm work for 3 months in extremely an hot climate. This required additional care and concentration due to the hot temperatures in rural NSW.
