Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pet and home with the upmost respect. Your dog/cat will be fed, watered, walked and loved according to your instructions. It's a big responsibility taking care of our animal friends. So I've done dog first aid training to gain important life saving knowledge to perform CPR if ever an unfortunate accident should occur. I'm also fully insured through Petplan for further peace of mind.

Information Jim B. would like to know about your pet

Its important to know what kind of temperament / behaviour traits your dog has. Especially towards other dogs and children. Also does your dog have any medical conditions that may arise while in my care and are there any dietary requirements that need adhering to? Your vets phone number will also be great to know.

A typical day

Walks and activities will depend on which type of dog I am caring for. For pups and younger dogs, we will go for brisk walks in the local parks and woods of Greenwich taking in all the new smells and playing with a favourite ball as we go. I'll also be trying to take the pict of the day for live updates on the fun and welfare of yours truly. For our older companions a more relaxed pace with some rest time to take in the scenery and smells of the day. Food and water will be fed as per owners instructions between the walks and affection.

Pet care experience

First Rover Booking? If so use code JIMB74356 to receive £15 off. I've been a dog/animal lover since having to hand rear my first dog Sooty after her Mother sadly passed away giving birth. Thereafter 46 years experience living with and taking care of all sorts of dogs and cats. My last best friend was Alfie whom I rescued from a high rise balcony in Deptford. We was together for 18 years before he sadly passed. I don't drink or smoke and never walk more than one dog at a time (unless they are from the same family = 2 x max)

Thank you Jim for looking after our pets and house while we went on holidays. We are very grateful that you were available to look after our dog Tari and our cat Carl and felt that they were in very good hands! We especially liked all the frequent updates and pictures and appreciated all the extra effort. We hope to be able to welcome you soon again.

We were so impressed with Jim. Not only were all communications handled in a professional and a timely manner but every meeting was completed with a great level of mutual understanding of what was required. We felt totally at ease in having him stay in our house and look after our very energetic 10 month old puppy. When a week before we left our little girl cam into her first season we panicked but Jim was so reassuring and knowledgable that it allowed us to continue our holiday prep without worry and allowed us to have a worry free holiday. We came back to a calmer, better trained puppy! Thank you very much Jim!

Great to leave my furry family of five in such good hands. Would definitely recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to re-book Jim.
