Being semi-retired, I have plenty of free time and a love for active play. I'd give your fur baby(s) the same dedicated attention, exercise, and fun that I give my own dogs every day.

Information james r. would like to know about your pet

With 30 years of experience as a dog owner, I've provided all levels of care and attention to keep my fur babies happy and healthy throughout their lives. I will bring that same level of dedication and understanding to meet your fur baby(s) unique needs and behaviors.

A typical day

If your fur baby(s) are anything like mine, I stive to let them live their best lives with all the exercise and stimulation activities they need; long walks, playing fetch or interacting with other dogs. I will let them dive into it all with equal enthusiasm. At the end of the day, mine love to wind down and bond after a busy day with a simple brushing.

Jim did a great job walking Eilidh while I was recovering from surgery. He always texted to let me know when he was on his way and was flexible when I needed to adjust times. He even took Eilidh to/home from daycare one day. He gave her a lot of affection and brought her treats (which she loved). I will definitely use Jim again if I have a need.

James (Jim) has taken care of our sweet dog Buster many times. He has always been attentive, responsive and communicative with us when our dog has stayed with him. I would recommend him as a trusted pet sitter.
