Weekend getaway for your little one...

Pet care experience

Duke and I share a two bed, two bath craftsman home in Hillcrest. We enjoy guests of the four legged kind, and your dog(s) will have complete access to the home, couches and bed included, and we have a nice little backyard for them to play, supervised of course. We tend to be weekend warriors, as I work a 9to5 during weekdays(1.5 miles from my home, allowing me do come home to let duke out each day). Weekends, we are home all day/night(we love our home). We do not watch more than one dog at a time, unless of course they are together. We do not do this for a living, or to make lots of money, but we do enjoy the company and think we offer very reasonable rates. During the summer, we'll play in the backyard w/the birds feeding from the feeder and playing in the fountain. Or like Duke, you can lay on the deck and sleep in the sun, or the shade....we have both. During the winter, we cozy up in the living room with the fireplace. If he/she prefers to stay in his/her crate, that is ok too. I can shut the bedroom door, and keep my little one apart during the day and at night. Duke prefers small dogs, sorry big guys, I love you but my home is small(950 sq ft). If you have a small reptile/rodent that needs care in addition to your dog, I am more than happy to care for it also(provided we can arrange a reasonable house for it in my spare bedroom), only an additional $2.50/night(covers the cost of electricity). I do not have experience in snakes, nor birds, sorry. About this sitter: It's no secret that I like dogs more than I do people. As a wise woman once said... "Animals don't lie. Animals don't criticize. If animals have moody days, they handle them better than humans do." Betty White Travel with ease knowing your little one is comfortable and well looked after. Duke and I live in a 2 bedroom home in Hillcrest, and enjoy sharing it with four legged guests while their owners travel. We are not a boarding facility, so we will only watch one dog at a time, unless they are together(same household). Why I love dog sitting What a silly question, I was born a dog lover. I have a 7 year old yorkie, who's been with me the entire 7 years. I had a dog as a child, a Golden Retriever named Rusty. Meet my pets Duke - 8 Year Old Yorkie I am neutered, and love attention About my yard I do have a backyard, and it is fenced in. My property is surrounded by brush in addition to the fence. I have a fountain, and a birdfeeder. Birds love my backyard because of these two things. I have a small patch(20x10) of grass(or dirt depending on the time of year). I also have two covered patios, one with electrical for lighting at night. My experience administering medication Sure, but I would not be comfortable with needles.

My baby boy Basil stayed with Jimmy over thanksgiving weekend while I watched my two friends get married in Mexico! I got daily updates about basil and never had to worry while I was away.

Jimmy always takes such good care of Bella. I never have to worry when she is with him. He is so flexible with drop off and pick up times. Bella is so happy staying there!!!

Jimmy was wonderful! He was very helpful and flexible with our dogs' stay. We ended up going to the beach for a few hours because it was a beautiful day and he told us to make sure to take our time- very nice guy. Our dog Bosco was just there for the night, and he still sent a picture and let us know he was doing well. It was nice to know our dog was enjoying his stay in San Diego while we were :)

I would like to know that they are current on their shots, and how well he or she gets alone with other dogs? I do have a little one, a 7 year old yorkie boy who's been with me all 7 years

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your dog on walks around the neighborhood.. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in his or her own bedroom(not on the bed, haha). I ask that you provide a cage and/or bed so your little one will feel more comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog I do work during the day. I have a 9 to 5 job, but a job that allows me to come home during lunch time(I work a mile away). I am a homebody, and spend most of my time at home, so your little one will get much attention!
