Experienced Dog Lover & Care Giver

Pet care experience

I have a lot of experience in my life caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. In the past, I've cared for up to 15 dogs at a time as a rescue volunteer and doggie foster for our local shelter and rescue organizations. Dogs respond to me because they know I care and can quickly connect with them. As soon as I see a dog, it puts a smile on my face! It would be hard to imagine my life without these furry guys! I've also rehabbed abused dogs as part of my volunteer experience so I can deal with extraordinary situations with animals. We though would need to discuss each on a case by case basis before accepting your pooch. Please let me know about any peculiar habits or issues with you dog before engaging with me. I have 2 separate yards both complete with a 6 and 7 foot fence and gated. I also have a separate room to allow aggressive or timid dogs to have their privacy. I have a doggie door in the kitchen that will fit up to a medium-ish size dog that leads into completely secure fenced yard. My home is dog proofed and has tile floors to make everything convenient and ready for Rover. I work from home so I am here most all the time. So, I look forward to meeting you, and your dog, and providing a quality care experience for them.

James has been such a great care giver for my 2 dogs.! About 2 years ago, I asked him if he would care for my dogs when I'm traveling out of town. I am so glad he did and wouldn't think of using anyone else. I am so happy he has decided to do Rover.com as he will be fantastic for your dog.

To Whom It May Concern: I have known Jim Karten for well over a decade and can attest that he is a kind, intelligent, caring individual in all aspects of his life, but especially with animals. Dogs in particular bond well with him and vice versa-the one with him when we first met was utterly devoted to him and pampered like a king. Bottom line, if you seek a caregiver for any animal, you would do well to engage Mr. Karten's services. Any animal in his care will be entirely safe, sound and kept as happy as it's possible to be. Feel free to contact me with any questions or clarifications.
