Dogs raised me since I was a pup...

Pet care experience

I have lived with Dogs all my life, and, (except a short stint in the Army), have never been apart from them for the past 45+ years. My last two Dogs passed away in January [Buddy] and October [Miss. Bo] of 2018, and Bo would not have anything to do with an adoption of a new Dog. So, for now, I borrow and care for several neighbours Dogs to get my canine companionship. I have four neighbourhood families I Dog sit for, three at their home and one or two special cases will come spend nights with me. My mornings for Dogs generally begins between 7:30a.m.~8 a.m. One Dogs' family recently remarked that I am like cocaine for Dogs: they can not get enough of me, and that suits me just fine, because I cannot get enough of them, too.

Jack was a true professional. He came over to meet my dog before my booked service and my dog loved him. He spent more time on the walk than I asked for on his own time and sent me a lot of updates/pictures. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a dog walker!

Ok, Jack really cares about your pet. He met my Sparky ahead of time, before my trip, and asked specific questions about my dog's habits, routine, etc. He kept me informed with daily pics of my Westie doing something cute, pics of his walks and the like. He even stayed later and arrived earlier so that my pup would be alone for a shorter time. Goodness, he even changed the batteries in the TV remote! Jack's great and will really look after your "baby" superbly.

Jack is absolutely wonderful with my pup, Lincoln!! I am very happy I found him and I greatly appreciate his time and patience with my big boy. Lincoln loves him too of course!! Jack even came by before our first session to meet Lincoln and get aquatinted (bonus points-he came with a toy). Jack is awesome and you can tell he really cares about our furry friends.

Information Jack L. would like to know about your pet

Beagles ar the BEST, I lover their song, but all Dogs are good!! I will need to meet with your Dog to make sure we are compatable, (although there has only been one in the past many years that did not accept me early on), and to know their 'daily pattern', and any special needs. I also prefer to take them for a walk when we first meet to know how they act without their family pack around.

A typical day

Fun activities are dependant on our Dog: What is fun to them, how does he/she play? Where do they LIKE to go for walks, is he/she open to new places or insist on their 'usual places'? How are they in a car, like or dislike car rides? Does he/she like to swim, (I know of several streams and a lake or two...), and I avoid Dog Parks as a rule because of overly agressive palyers we have met in the past, unless your Dog insists on going there.
