Home full time. Love to go on hikes
Pet care experience
I have taken care of two Pit Bulls and one Rottweiler for over 3 years where I always made sure they had activities and the care they needed. Always put dogs first and take care of them as if they were mine. I love giving dogs plenty of walks and work with dogs that have special needs or disabilities. I make sure to give each dog plenty of attention and care for each dogs specific needs. I'm available 24/7 and I love walks, hikes, or anything that is outside. I have no problem with giving your dog a bath. I'm assertive and attentive to each dog and aware of a dog needs whether it's going for a walk, needing to play, or just laying around on the couch. I bee on Rover for over 5 years. Had various dogs from Huskies, Great Danes, Shitzus, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, etc and never had an issue with any. Im a buddhst or at least try to walk the spiritual practice and i apporach this mindset when taking care of animals for they are sentient bengs that deserve unconditionally love filled with compassion and an open heart
Reviews
Always the best! Great house sitter. Used many times and will always recommend
Our dog Layla LOVED everything about her stay with Jim. So grateful we found the perfect place for her to stay. Jim sent us updates with photos, which made our vacation even better (knowing she was having fun too). Thank you, Jim!!!
Dependable and responsive. Sent pictures of the cat. Will certainly use Jim again.
Another great stay with Jim! He took such great care of our dog over a lengthy stay (over a week). Highly recommend!

Information Jim S. would like to know about your pet
Would like to know if their dog is friendly to other dogs and people just so I know if i should avoid others when going on walks. Would like to know what your dogs do and don't like so they are not overwhelmed. I have no breed preferences.
A typical day
I live close to a dog park and several hiking trails. I have plenty of dog toys as well. They usually respond to my yoga for whenever im done, they wake up from a nap and ready for a walk

Availability
I wake up around 5-7 or whenever the dog wakes up to go outside and eats breakfast. I then d yoga, meditate, and tai chi until the dog needs another walk which, in the afternoon, we find a nice hiking trail. Then i make dinner for me and the dog and take him out later in the evening or at night. I repeat this process/rountine and seems to work wonderfully.
