Pet care experience

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)

As always, Jim shows much care for Milo and is sensitive to his needs. Milo is an older dog and is increasingly cautious around anyone other than us but Jim shows much patience, care and respect with Milo. We always return to a very happy and well looked after little chap.

Jim has been completely reliable and fantastic with my dog who is quite reactive. I can highly recommend him

Jim was so fantastic with Bert, really understanding about how we are training our 5 month old retriever. He has a genuine sense of care and patience and getting the photo updates was lovely so we knew Bert was ok. So happy with found someone to build a relationship with our little pup while he is young!

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.

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.
