Dog Lover

We have always had dogs in our family and they are treated as family members. In 2019 I lost my best friend of 17 years named Lady. She was a rescue dog that was dearly loved and is still missed. I have been retired since June 2020. I love dogs and walking and have always had a dog as a pet. I walk 10-15 miles a day including taking my dog Boog with me for about 3-5 miles. We have an invisible fence which Boog is well trained in. Boog is walked daily and groomed bimonthly. She is a joy to train as she is a very smart dog.

House Sitting • Oct 07, 2024

If I could give Jim 10 stars, I would. We were in a pinch and our normal house sitter was unable to watch our dogs. We took our little one with us but our 2 yr old GSD needed a friend. He stepped right up and offered his weekend. Not only did he spend most of the day with her but he gave her lots of walks, playtime in the yard and love. She is a nervous dog and requires alot of patience and stimulation. She has never been without her little buddy either. Jim truly cares about the animals he signs up for. He gave me lots of updates, took pics/videos and asked questions. We would recommend him to anyone! Worth every penny.

Jim is dependable and went above and beyond to come back and fix the tray in my pups crate when he managed to push it out one day. I am so thankful for him!

James regularly walks my very large male bloodhound ( not only is he over 100 but he is tall and long as well). He also has to put a hat on him due to his ears being so long they drag across the ground and freeze in cold weather. Not only is my boy big but he is strong and could be difficult to manage but James handles him perfectly hat and all! My dog looks forward to his walks with him. He is likewise great in communicating promptly and sending photos, which I appreciate.

Jim is great with our dog Teddy! And with our cat Lucky. He goes above and beyond! We couldn’t get through our week without him and his care for our dog-child! Thanks, Jim!!
