Hi, I'm Tom
Why South Bay Pup Club is just me
Most dog-walking companies grow by adding walkers and dogs to every walk. Your dog ends up in a pack of six, with a different person at the door every few weeks.
I went the other way. South Bay Pup Club is just me, and I care for one household's dogs at a time. I learn your dog's quirks: the corner they're nervous about, the treat that works, how they like their belly rubbed. You get one person who knows your dog and answers your texts.
Because I do every visit myself, I take on a limited number of families. If we're a fit, your dog gets my whole attention.

Start with a free meet & greet
I come to you, meet your dog, and we go over routines, quirks and keys. There's no obligation.
No cancellation fees. I accept Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay or cash.
How it works
Getting started is easy
Free meet & greet
I come to your home and meet your dog. We talk through schedule, routines and any special needs.
A first visit
We start with a single walk or drop-in so your dog gets comfortable with me. You get photos and a full report.
Your routine
We set a regular schedule or you book as needed. Either way, it's me who shows up.
Service area
Close to home on purpose
I keep my area to a handful of nearby cities so I'm always on time and never rushing between visits. If you're just outside it, ask. I can sometimes make it work.

FAQ
Good questions
Will it really always be you?
Yes. South Bay Pup Club is me, with no staff and no subcontractors. If I'm ever sick or away, I'll tell you well in advance and won't send a stranger.
Do you walk dogs together?
No. Every walk is private: one household's dogs at a time. If you have two dogs, they walk together with me (+$15).
How does boarding work?
Your dog stays in my home and sleeps indoors, never in a kennel. I board one family at a time, so your dog won't share space with strange dogs. I send daily photos and updates.
Can you handle puppies, seniors or reactive dogs?
Yes, and private care suits them best. Tell me about your dog at the meet & greet and I'll adapt the walk, pace and route.
What if I need to cancel?
Just let me know as early as you can. I don't charge cancellation fees.
How do I pay?
I invoice weekly for regular walks and up front for overnight stays. I accept Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay or cash.
