Dependable Dog Care
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience in caring for animals for friends and family. After retiring from the local police department, pet care is a perfect business to keep me busy. I love dogs and walk my own and others on a daily basis. Your fur face friend and I will have a great time together. I am licensed and insured. I will not "group-walk" your dog. When we are together it is just us, hanging out! Being retired, I am available for you daily and you will find me pretty flexible on availability for your dog. I work from my home while my wife is teaching. I only provide services in your home - I want your pet to feel safe in their environment. We can walk the neighborhood, local parks or I can take them to the foothills for a short hike instead. Any travels with your pet are in an air-conditioned vehicle with crates for security. You tell me what your dog likes and we will make it happen!
Reviews
Jim is a dog lover who treats all animals with care and compassion. He is a great human being with a big heart. Very trustworthy!
James is a man of compassion, thoughtfulness and most importantly integrity. I trust him not only with the care of my two-legged family but also with the care of my four-legged family. His commanding presence gets the job done and his empathy for all others gets it done with caring. I have no hesitations hiring him to watch over my home and my loved ones.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Walking services are determined by your wishes for your dog. Neighborhood, park, or foothills! I do not "group walk", so I can meet your dog's needs for places to go.
Information James B. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable around all breeds, ages and sizes of dogs. I need to know of any medical conditions or habits that might affect the safety and well-being of your fur baby and me. Does this guy suffer from seizures? Foot or nail problems? How does he or she let you know when she is under stress? Does this friend like to wind a leash around my legs? Is he or she grumpy and like to nip or bite?
A typical day
We can walk the neighborhood, local parks, or desert hikes (flat surfaces only - I don't climb the hills!) I generally keep the fun between just us - I won't "group-walk" or take dogs on play dates unless that is specifically what you want. I prefer not to take pets that I am not familiar with to the dog park - I understand that dogs may not feel fully at ease without you and don't want to put further stress with taking them around unknown dogs when I may be an unknown person. Of course, this is ultimately your choice and I am at your disposal and discretion.

Availability
I am available for drop in visits 7 days a week, pretty much any time. I am retired which frees me up considerably to meet your needs.
