Active. Healthy. Integrity. Trust.

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I live in a home with a decent size, fenced back yard and side yard, so your pup has room to roam. I grew up with golden retrievers and currently have a male Australian shepherd puppy. With permission, I would take your dog outside on hikes, to the beach, to picnics, etc. I will take care of your family member as if they were my own. I am responsible, attentive, active, and intelligent. I keep my home clean and tidy thereby minimizing any trouble your dog could get in to. All I ask is that he or she is house broken. And yes I know it's ironic I'm holding a cat in my picture, on a dog app.

Jim did such a great job with our mini aussie. We got a ton of updates and photos/videos throughout the stay which gave us peace of mind. He kept our dog stimulated with lots of games of fetch, puzzles, walks...way more than I even do at home. It was like our dog went to camp where you only do the things you love!

Jim is very responsive, accommodating, and a great dog sitter. He sent me regular updates while I was away for the weekend and took good care of my dog. He also has a nice backyard where he played fetch with my dog. Overall I highly recommend Jim.

Loved Jim and his partner taking care of our puppy! They have a nice backyard and front grass on which a puppy just loved rolling the moment he walked in, Will definitely ask them to puppy sit again.

I read all of Jim’s reviews and knew that he would be a good match for Bo. Jim was able to connect with him right away and engaged in play but with a watchful eye of his surroundings and Bo’s reaction. He immediately enlisted Bo’s trust and from what I can tell they both had a great weekend. My dog is big, high energy and still adapting from a rescue situation. This was the first time he’s been left “alone” since he came to us and the transition was smooth and easy. We’ll definitely do it again!

Information Jim M. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know a dogs usual routine, if they take medication, if they have allergies to anything and if they are house trained.

A typical day

I take dogs for walks, if they are a capable breed I’ll bring them on hikes as well. I have a house with a fenced yard so often play with them outside.

I typically prioritize pet care. I won’t take an animal if their needs don’t fit my work/life routines. I try to make sure the animal is always comfortable.
