Jim was a great choice for me to walk my 12 yr old Shih Tzu/Pomeranian! Petie immediately took to him and after spending time with Jim I am not at all surprised! It's clear he is very good with dogs, has a ton of experience, is punctual and he's very flexible when it comes to my schedule. He is a trustworthy and genuine person - a good soul! I've had some not-so-good experiences with hiring dog walkers before - Jim is a good find! I've also had some tough/eye opening experiences with boarding my dog (where he is in a cage most of the time, one of dozens of other dogs, etc - not at all personal). When I go away again I will not hesitate to book Jim - at 12 yrs old my dog deserves the attention!

You will not find a more dedicated and professional employee like Jim. His love of dogs and animals of all kinds really shines through. Jim is a charismatic and the dogs love him! Jim is always efficient, on time and has a genuine compassion for people's concerns. Jim is a terrific conversatinalist and is incredibly well versed. To have Jim as one of your employees will just elevate Rover.com that much more! Jim is such a caring individual and the dogs just adore him!

I wouldn’t think twice about hiring Jim to care for my pets. He’s wonderful with dogs and cats. He is conscientious, compassionate, always follows directions, and truly loves caring for animals. He is very trustworthy, experienced, resourceful, and punctual, as well. If you want a worry free experience with regard to who is caring for your pets, Jim is the man to contact. You will not be disappointed.

When taking care of dogs in my family’s home, I always make sure they are well fed, have fresh water available, go for walks and most of all, they get plenty of big hugs. Best therapy in the world! Available to come to your home.

Information Jim K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues I should account for. I usually prefer breeds that are playful, gentle, affectionate but not too aggressive, that can get along with other dogs.

A typical day

Really enjoy spending quality time with dogs, whether my family’s or friends. Love taking them for outdoor walks around the neighborhood or parks. Play time is fun time. Tug O’war, hide and seek, just to name a few.
