LET ME SPOIL YOUR PET

Pet care experience

I have lots of experience caring for animals. I grew up on a farm and cared for many, big and small critters, have raised and shown dogs and fancy pigeons, have raised parrots for commercial sale to pet stores, and have volunteered at animal shelters where I cared for and rescued so many dogs and cats. Your pet's safety and enjoyment are of the utmost importance when I care for them. I have a good understanding of their body language and can anticipate their individual needs and safety. When I sit a pet I try to make sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I haven't met a dog or cat I didn't like and didn't enjoy spending time with. Bottom line is that I will take the best care of your family member. PETS I SIT HAVE AN AREA IN MY HOUSE SEPARATE FROM OTHER CRITTERS, ARE GIVEN MY UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, LEAVE HAPPY, AND ARE HAPPY ON RETURNS.

Jim is the only person we trust leaving our dog with when we go out of town. He is so great with dogs, no matter their personality and needs. Our dog Ace gets excited every time we drop him off and really enjoys his time with him.

Information Jim K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is on a strict diet, has any allergies, has a medical condition, or other concerns I should be aware of. I would like to fill confident that your pet is current on their shots and immunizations including flea, tick, worm, and mite treatments in order to protect other dogs or cats I board. A printout from your vet is very useful as well as their last treatment for fleas, tics, worms, and mites. Does your dog get along with other dogs? cats? How well is your dog trained for walking and obedience? Do I need to take any precautions when walking your dog around other animals and people? ALSO, A SCHEDULE OF YOUR DOG'S DAILY ROUTINE IS REALLY USEFUL IN MAKING SURE YOUR BEST FRIEND HAS AN ENJOYABLE AND SAFE STAY.

A typical day

I have a large yard and a great neighborhood where I can walk and exercise your dog. I always keep them on a leash and ensure they are safe and enjoy themselves. If your pet enjoys fetching or a similar activity let me know. I extensive experience with dog training and caring for senior pets. PETS I SET ARE IN AN AREA SEPARATE FROM OTHER CRITERS
