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)

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.

Jim has been fantastic with Rommie! He's super reliable and accommodating to all requests. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants their dog to be in safe hands!

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.

Schedule

I’m currently working part time as a self employed creative producing various art and craft. So I have plenty of time to take care of your dog/cat. Unfortunately my current situation doesn't allow me to have a dog/cat, so taking care of yours will be a pleasure.

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Jim can host up to 1 drop-in per day
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.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
