Drop-In Visits in Sarasota, FL

Peace of Mind When You Can't Be Home

Leaving your dog alone for hours is never comfortable — especially when schedules run long, travel comes up, or unpredictable days happen. Drop-in visits exist so your dog's routine doesn't have to stop when yours does. But not all drop-ins are equal. With T&TK9, your dog is cared for by Thom Ellis — a man whose professional career was built around reading, understanding, and managing animals in high-stakes environments. A quick visit from Thom isn't just a potty break and a bowl of food. It's a check-in from someone who notices behavioral changes, monitors health signals, and treats your pet the way a true professional handles an animal in their care.

Attentive Check-Ins That Cover Every Base

Each drop-in visit includes feeding and fresh water, indoor potty assistance or outdoor relief break, playtime and affection, a quick health and behavioral check, and a post-visit report so you know exactly how your dog was when you couldn't be there. Contact us directly for current drop-in pricing — we customize based on your needs and frequency.

A Handler Who Notices What Others Miss

Thom's years of professional training at the Ringling Circus, U.S. Army, and TSA gave him an ability that most pet sitters simply don't have: the ability to quickly assess an animal's physical and emotional state. During every drop-in visit, he's not just going through the motions — he's actively observing. Is your dog eating normally? Acting differently? Showing signs of stress or discomfort? Thom notices. T&TK9 LLC is fully insured and has served Sarasota families who expect their pet care to match the same standard they apply to everything else.
