Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs, fish, lizards- oh my!
I have taken care of dogs, along with several different exotic animals including reptiles, fresh and saltwater aquariums for over 15years. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their animals when needed.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
With taking care of your pet in your home, I maintain the same (or similar) schedule as you would normally have them on. I also make sure to keep an eye out for any odd behavior that might signal sickness or pain and communicate that to the pet parent and even take the animal to the vet if requested.
Ratings and reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Jim! He recently took care of my senior special-needs dog, and I was so impressed with his patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. Managing a pet with extra needs isn’t easy, but Jim handled everything with confidence and compassion. He took the time to understand my dog’s routines and special needs, and went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter—especially if your pet needs a little extra attention—Jim is absolutely the person you want. I highly recommend him!
Jim was responsive, kind, and fully available for a long weekend with my anxious 10-year-old silkypoo. I sincerely appreciate his willingness to come by in advance of his stay to walk through everything. Normally, Yoshi will be ill for a day from anxiety when left with someone new, but Jim has a calming quiet nature and she loved him! He sent daily pics of their walks and we highly recommend his services!! Thank you, Jim!
I've known Jim for over a decade and he has been nothing but exceptional with all three of my dogs, no matter their temperament. He's kind and lovable with with Hank. He's patient and understanding with Logan. He's firm yet gentle with Buster. Any time I've needed someone other than myself to care for my dogs, Jim has always been my first call.
I have been relying on Jim for the past five years give or take to take care of my two dogs while I’m working during the day. Jim takes great care and making sure that my dogs are Fed and walked regularly during the day. he takes a lot of pride in taking care of the dogs I can tell that he truly loves them!
Jim is wonderful with my dogs! Having 2 white German shepherds, they can be a handful, yet Jim handles them so well. He took the time to gain the trust of my oldest shepherd who is skiddish around new people and now they are the best of pals. I highly recommend Jim if you need someone who is reliable, trustworthy, and will treat your dogs with so much love and care!

I work as a clinician for Northwestern Medicine and wanting to earn some extra cash in my downtime to help may down those pesky student loans.
