Experienced dog sitter available.

Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter/trainer/walker available for you when your on vacation, away from home on business or need a quick overnight escape for one reason or another. I had worked as a dog sitter/hiker for over 7 years before leaving to become a manager/dog trainer at a store in our area. You will have nothing to worry about when you leave your furry member of the family with me and my family. This is a career for me, I am not a college student earning extra money. I have watched all types and breeds of dogs. No dog is too big or small. I’ve watched everything from Great Danes to Toy Poodles, I watch them all. Discounts available for multi dog stays. Your dog will be treated like he's part of our family here. Play in our fenced in yard and go for walks down at the local beach. Play with my 2 Labs Buddy and Luci. About this sitter: Professional dog sitter available. Why I love dog sitting I started hiking/sitting dogs with a company in Boston after losing a job as a computer technician and following a career that I truly felt a passion for. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter for many years and have become a certified dog trainer. About my yard My backyard is fenced in and grass. I usually walk the dogs at the beach down the street from my house.

Cleanliness of the house was not good. When I picked up my dog, the owner's kids appeared to be in charge, but didn't seem to know what was going on. They couldn't find my dog's leash food, etc. Wouldn't use this sitter again.

Thank you, Jim! Your care for my dogs while we were traveling was terrific, and we deeply appreciated your flexibility and the pictures and updates you sent!

Jim did a great job taking care of our 1 year old Boxer. She has a tons of energy, and sometimes not the easiest to deal with. Yet, he always kept her busy, and playing (both w/his dogs, and the neighbors). He was also always available when we checked in, and sent us pics throughout her stays.

I always feel comfortable leaving our dog Chance with Jim and his family. I am always at peace to know that they also have two lovable dogs that love the company of our dog from time to time. Jim is very cooperative in terms of scheduling the drop off and pickup. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable sitter!
