Tom's Dogs

Pet drop-in visits in New London County

Their routine keeps going when you cannot be there.

A focused visit for the everyday things your pet still needs while you are at work or away: a potty break, a meal, fresh water, instructed medication, and a little company.

For your pet

Familiar surroundings. The care they need.

A Home Visit lets your pet stay in their own space while we take care of agreed needs. We follow their routine and pay attention to how they are doing, rather than treating every visit as the same checklist.

For you

Cover the small jobs that cannot wait all day.

You can stay at work or keep an appointment knowing someone is handling the agreed care at home. Photos and a visit report tell you what was done and flag anything you should know.

Clear notes

You know what happened

Photos and a straightforward report confirm the visit and call out anything you should know.

Need overnight care?

Unless otherwise noted, listed prices are Pathfinder rates for recurring weekly care. Maverick care is occasional or as-needed and is confirmed individually based on availability, route, and fit.

A little planning makes each visit more useful.

Tell us which parts of the routine need covering while you are away: meals, potty needs, instructed medication, or company. We agree on the tasks and timing before the first visit, then use your care instructions to keep things familiar.

A drop-in is a focused visit, not extended supervision. If your pet needs longer company or overnight support, we will discuss another arrangement so you can plan around the level of care they need.

    We check the practical fit

    We review your location, schedule, and your pet’s needs together. For group outings, compatibility matters as much as availability.

    Agree on a starting point

    We’ll discuss the next step with you, including an introduction or meet-and-greet where appropriate. Care begins only after the arrangement is confirmed.
