Energetic & Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats and dogs.I have worked with many animals and am comfortable walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I charge $65 for overnights $25 Dog Walking, Pet Sitting $35 For 1 Hour Pet Sitting & $25 for 30 minutes Pet Sitting.Additional Pets $10/Dog $5/Cat I am an energetic, reliable and experienced pet care provider with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! I will ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when you are away from home. I'm responsible for all basic animal care while you are on vacation or traveling for business. Routine duties are feeding, putting out fresh water, brushing pets, taking dogs on walks, cleaning litter boxes, animal behavior, sometimes asked to stay overnight with your pet. I understand that each dog has unique needs and issues, and I am well-equipped to take on any canine challenge that comes my way. I offer unconditional love, eternal patience and compassionate discipline, and I have the experience to back it up! Previous clients would describe me as attentive, observant, loving, energetic and a go-with-the-flow kind of person. I can roll with whatever issue comes my way and do it with grace! If you approve, I’m happy to bring treats, and I always put myself on the dog’s level and let them trust me once they are comfortable. My schedule is flexible and can easily bend to your pet needs! Pets are part of the family. You love 'em with all your heart (and get REALLY upset when they pee on your carpet.) Therefore, it is completely understandable that you want your pet to be in good hands. Whether you need someone to care for your furry friend while you're at work, or you just need a weekend to yourself. I will gladly step in and take great care of your pet! I have experience with pet care, including dog-walking and pet (and/or house) sitting, and a lifetime experience of being an animal Lover. Please feel free to contact me to discuss my services. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the exercise/attention they need on a daily basis. Making a dog feel special and entertained is my specialty. I enjoy walking dogs and I send pictures of our walks so you know your furry friend is well taken care of. I unfortunately won't be able to start any services for new clients without first having a complimentary meet and greet. and greets gives us both an opportunity to assess if your fur baby and I are a good fit for each other. Meet and greets also gives me an opportunity to give you a detailed explanation of all my services. If booking boarding or sitting services it also allows you to give detailed care instructions and allows you to tour my home where your fur baby will be staying When requesting walks, and drop in visit services, please give a specific time, or a window of time that you like the service to be within, so I can look at my schedule see if I'm able to even accommodate, and to check that your requested time, or window doesn't conflicts with a pre-booked service, and may ask if modifications are possible, in a an attempt to try and accommodate your service if it does happen to conflict. When requesting boarding, and sitting services please also include the time you'd like the service to start along with the time that the service will be ending to better help me plan my schedule. Boardings and sittings can start as early as 12 midnight on the day of, and can end at 11:59pm on the end date so long as I don't have any upcoming services or bookings that overlap and conflict. To coordinate a meet and greet just let me know what days and times work well for you, and if they happen to conflict with any of my services, I may ask to see if the time can be modified to be pushed bit earlier, or later, and we'd be able to make it work from there. I rarely take days off so meet and greets typically happen between large gaps within my daily schedule. I am not limited to dogs and cats and can't take on other species so long as there are clear care instructions and that I'm not put in any dangerous situations. Hope you have a pawssome rest of your day and look forward to hearing from you!🐕‍🦺🐩🦴🐕🐾🐈🧶

Jim responded in a timely manner to my request and we were able to schedule a meet and greet to ensure he was a good fit for my dog Neptune. He took him on a nice long walk and took great care of him when I needed him for walks for a few days. He is professional, friendly, and sends photos and updates. I would ask him to take care of them any day and highly recommend him to all others and we look forward to working with him again!

Jim is awesome with my dog Macey! He is very committed, trustworthy, friendly, and loyal. Jim walks my dog every day...provides me the comfort He is in good hands while I am at work. I highly recommend him to anyone. He was super accommodating about the schedule and took care of Macey like he was one of hers! Gave him lots of treats and lots of cuddles. Vince

Jim is Very patient and always took the BEST pictures and he was always available when I needed him to walk my dogs last minute. Will be using him in the future! Jim is awesome! Super laid back and flexible. You can tell he loves dogs and being active. Both our dogs are older and he did so great with them. He understood their temperament and gave them time to warm up to him. I’ll definitely be using Jim again. Thanks for being so great! Joey
