Been a cat lover, now dog lover 2

Pet care experience

I am retired with my first dog which Is 3 yrs old March 20th. I've had her since she was 2 months old. I have 2 cats which just turned 2 yrs old so they have grown up together and get along great. I have had cats in the family most of my life. I have fostered 9 puppies during the last yr and my dog loves em. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood out in the country. Lots of dogs out for a walk.

Jim was great with looking after our cat. Our cat came back happy and healthy. Jim is quick to respond and accommodating.

My Aussie Brandy reported that Jim took great care of her during a one night stay. Jim was very responsive throughout the meat and greet process, was attentive to Brandy's needs while there, and left me comfortable that Brandy was in good hands. We will definitely ask Jim to watch Brandy in the future.

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Jim for his exceptional care of Kylie while we were away on vacation. Leaving Kylie with Jim allowed our family to enjoy our time off without any worries, all thanks to his patience and meticulous attention. Kylie can be quite shy, struggles to adapt to new environments, and doesn't always get along with other dogs, sometimes even bullying smaller ones. Despite these challenges, Jim showed tremendous patience and understanding, effectively managing Kylie's occasional tendencies to bully and ensuring all the pets could live in harmony. It was evident that Jim didn't just see this as a task but treated Kylie as part of his own family, which was incredibly touching. I highly recommend Jim's services; he is adept at caring for pets that require extra attention and handling interactions between pets with ease, demonstrating his exceptional skills and compassionate heart. A huge thank you to Jim for everything he has done for Kylie!

Jim was very kind and easy going. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave his house!

Information Jim H. would like to know about your pet

My dog is 3 years young with no special needs. I've had her since she was 2 months old so cared for her most of her life. My first doggie. So if your puppy or doggie is not to high maintenance I can take care of them.

A typical day

Get up & let the dog out to potty. Then feed her. a couple hours later we go for a mile walk. Back home she takes a nap. Then we play with her toys such as tug a war or go fetch the ball. More nap time. Dinner around 4 to 5 with potty breaks through out the day as needed.
