Pet care experience

No hurry, experienced dog lover!

Retired widower just looking to enjoy life- and dogs bring me great enjoyment! I have two rescue dogs, Trixster and Lilly. I will treat your dog(s) with the same love and attention that I give to mine. I have lived with dogs my whole life (usually two) and they have varied in sizes (110 to 15#) and breeds. I travel with mine, take them to the dog parks many times a week and I must admit they are spoiled. Each dog has a different personality and I try to understand their emotional as well as physical needs. I will care for them as you instruct and need. I am use to providing medicines as instructed, Let me share my love, attention and non-hurried schedule with your special member of the family. I would be glad to stop by for a home visit to make sure we all understand your needs and your pets care. I am available to provide services at any time, based on my current dog sitting jobs. I provide services weekdays, nights, weekends--- whenever you have needs. I do have a small fenced in area at my home and have provided care in my home when needed. I would need to ensure that any guests get a long with my two dogs. I have dog sat at my location for my sister's four dogs, meaning that six dogs have been here for days at a time!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your Pets like they were mine! They can sense people that are there because they love animals (like me) or just want to earn money.

Jim is a true pet lover. Apollo seemed to really connect with him. Jim was flexible and had great communication. We would happily have him take care of Apollo in the future.

Paella loved her walks with Jim! I’m so happy we found him and I would not hesitate to contact him again when we’re in town! Would happily trust him with any type of care for her! Thanks so much, Jim!

No breed preferences here! I just like to understand their personalities and likes/dislikes. Depending on the length of service and how they get along with others, I may be able to introduce them to my dogs
