All Dogs are Special!

Pet care experience

Newly returned to the Valley of the Sun, I am a mature, lifelong, dog owner/lover living in the older section of Sun City. I currently have a rescued dog who is a large breed mix. I previously have rescued for myself a Golden Retriever and a Bernese Mountain Dog. For several years I was a doggie foster home for Colorado Springs All Breed Rescue. Some of the dogs I fostered include: Wire Haired Terrier, two Pit Bulls (one had the bad kind of mange), German Shepherd and a German Short Haired Pointer. I paid all of the vet bills for these dogs. Clark (my dog) is a mature dog in his senior years. He is big but I would prefer to have smaller dogs as guests (under 50 pounds) to help keep his anxiety level low. His best friend in Colorado was a miniature Dauchsund who loved to steal his treats. I have a small house and will personally take any guests outside when needed as I do not have a fenced yard. Guests are allowed the run of the house and can sleep anywhere they choose. I am home 24 hours a day. I can administer medications but would have to be trained to give vaccinations. About this sitter: My name is Jim and I am a mature, 57 year old, living in the older section of Sun City. I have had a dog since childhood and fostered dogs for Colorado Springs All Breed Rescue when I lived in Colorado. My last four dogs were all rescued dogs including an Australian Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Bernese Mountain dog and Clark, my current dog who is a collie/shepherd mix. I also sit dogs in my home for Rover. Why I love dog sitting I an 57 years old and have been a lifelong dog lover and owner. I rescued and fostered dogs with Colorado Springs All Breed Rescue and provided for their veterinary care. My own personal dogs have all been rescues. The breeds I have/had are: Australian Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Bernese Mountain dog and Clark, my current collie/shepherd mix. My experience administering medication Yes, except for vaccinations.

Jim was amazing! Bella was a very happy girl upon our return. We are very grateful he was able to watch her.

Jim is a very caring and reliable sitter. Correspondence with him was always quick. My dogs were quite happy and comfortable with him and his dog Niko. Will definately use him again.

I have used James for over a year now. He is the best sitter I have had. Cheyanne loves him and enjoys going to his home. He is patient, good with our dog and great with giving our dog her medicine. We never worry about James watching her. He is the best.
