Dog whisperer

Pet care experience

Dogs sense immediately that I am a kindred spirit. (Except, sometimes, for small, yappy dogs.) My most recent hanai dog, Rufus, and I liked to hike Aiea Loop and Kuliouou Ridge trails, and would also go walking (and for him running, off leash) at Kailua and Kahala beaches. I also took him to the 18th Avenue Bark Park, but he got bored pretty quickly because he was into smells, not playing with other dogs. When I walk a dog, I always let them small what they want. I never tug them along impatiently. I have come to the rescue of several dogs over the course of my lifetime. My childhood dog, Josephine, a Dachshund, lived 16 years. I don't do as well with cats, sadly.

Jim was good with the dog & she like him, but I feel we had different approaches to the stay. I originally booked Jim for overnight but my plans changed when my brothers house in Paradise was destroyed,. Instead of cancelling I went to relatives locally for the day and planned on Jim coming from 2:30 to about 9. When we went over the changes he asked if he could take my dog to a Christmas dinner party he had been invited to. I said definitely not. Jim arrived over 1 hour early. He texted me to notify him when I was leaving so he could get Uber. I said ok & put my phone away. Texted him as I left but did not realize he had texted me at 6:45 to ask if he could leave. He did make sure she had a potty run but left without me responding. I do understand it was Christmas & I was home 2 hours after he left but I wish he had called or waited for response before he left.

Jim has a special way with all dogs. He loves them dearly and they love him! He'll treat your best friend like his best friend. Not only will he make sure your pet gets good exercise, he'll make it fun for them! You can rest assured that your pet will be showered with attention and affection in his care.
