About your pet sitter:

 

Hello! My name is Tom Sapp. I am a professional photographer in Wilmington NC. Pet sitting started as favors for friends and clients a few years ago and has become something I have grown to love. When people have hired me to photograph their pets in the past I noticed many clients would leave a few minutes after the photo session had began, asking me to call when the session had ended for pet pickup. I realized at that point pet sitting would be a wonderful addition to the services I already provide.

Growing up I often bartered with local pet stores with the animals I found while exploring the forests. I grew up between New Bern and Havelock in the middle of the Croatan National Forest. Before a pet store would take a wild animal the wrangler must first keep the animal for one month to ensure it will survive as a domesticated pet. In doing this the pet store owners would educate me on the care needs of each animal I would bring in. Learning the care needs provided me with more entertainment than any other activity other kids my age were doing. Later as a teenager I began working in pet stores doing pet maintenance and sales as an intern. Once I had completed my internship learning the care needs of all the animals in the shop it was time for college. Photography is what I decided to base my career on. While working with animals I developed a burning desire to capture these natural beauties in print. The photo school I attended trained me for all areas of the industry including working with pets as a professional. In my 11 years of being a professional photographer I have been trained as an equine photographer for an internationally published horse care book found in Barns & Noble. I have photographed an international dog greeting card line written from the dog perspective while working with amazing K9 trainers. As a sitter I have worked with a wide range of animals as you can see from the services link above. My goal is to provide your pet with entertainment and friendship while you are away allowing you to have peace of mind on your journey and leaving you with beautiful memories of your pet when you return.
