I am retired now and have plenty of time to choose what I do. I enjoy nothing more than my dogs and I love working and being around other dogs. So, this is a perfect thing for me to do. it helps other good people out and I get to also take care of the best things on earth DOGS, I have almost an open schedule now so until it fills up hopefully with some sitting appointments, I'm all yours.

Safety, trust & environment
I have an invisible fence for my yard, and it is fantastic. so, my dogs get to run freely a lot. It is actually hard to get them to go for a walk because they won't cross that boundary. clean water is something I try to keep my eye on, and depending on your feeding schedule that will be something that will determine the time I will have to be at your home. also, when your dog need to me walked and hopefully played with. If you have a fenced in yard or a certain play area that with, be great. I assume an hour or so at each house min. is probably enough time but if I find it need to be longer that's what I will do. and let you know. if you want to limit it to an hour that's up to you.
Information Jim K. would like to know about your pet
Very important to know right away is if the dog has any joint issues that you know of, what you do as far as treats, temperament. If there is a way to get them calm or settled down quickly that’s always good to know. Such as a particular place they love to be scratched, or a command.any command that might get your dog to stop right away is always good to know.
A typical day
This all depends on the yard where the dog lives. If it is fenced in then that’s great we can go outside and play and throw the ball around or whatever your dog wants to do. If it’s not fenced in then chained or on a leash we will have fun. I go with what the dogs tell me and their personalities. Also what you tell me you want and where the dog is allowed to play or not. Each dog enjoys their own thing and you can tell me or your dog will let me know.

Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had dogs all my life. I have worked in 2 different animal shelters as a volunteer, I have never met a dog that didn't like me right away. I will treat your best friend like my own when I get the pleasure to meet them, I can't wait to meet every one of them and you the pet owner. Mostly good people are the ones with pets that take such good care like this. I have 2 dogs myself and I will never be without at least 2. I have usually had 3. I will give your dogs the love and care that you would when you entrust them to me, I promise you that.i have the experience of taking care of 3 and 4 dogs on a daily basis for years. I have seen many different situations that can happen to dogs and know how to avoid problems and I can tell when something is wrong. I won’t hesitate to let you know if I notice anything. It’s always better to be safe when it comes to our family.
Reviews
Jim is very patient and professional with our two small dogs. Olive can be skiddish especially with new people, but she has warmed up to him quickly
Jim has been walking Caramelo for a couple weeks. He's always on time, communicates well, and Caramelo is always excited to see him. He does well on the walks and is a very kind person.
Jim is an amazing and kind person. I have never seen anyone who loves dogs more. He has saved many dogs and adopted them. Jim has adopted dogs and given them a caring and loving home with immense amounts of love. Jim is extremely responsible as well as loving and kind to the animals he cares for. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim for a position on Rover.
Jim is the biggest dog lover I know. He has had dogs his whole life and knows a lot about how to care for them. Jim is patient with dogs and treats them all lovingly. He is also trustworthy and responsible.
