Let me help enrich your pets life.

Pet care experience

My wife and I have had dogs in our lives for as long as we can remember. We do not believe dogs are property, they are family. Dogs are intelligent and unique individuals with personalities all their own. My wife and I will take your fur babies individual needs into account and make sure they have a walk either around the neighborhood or to a local park (with your permission) or fetching a ball in our fenced in yard. Your baby/babies will come home ready to cuddle and rest, allowing you to unwind. I have been training dogs since 2013. I have taught puppy kindergarten, basic obedience, and one on one lessons. I also worked at a doggy daycare for 5 years. My wife has been with me throughout the years. She has cared for our senior dog full time since we moved from NY State. This was challenging as we lost his sister shortly before the move. After packing up his house and driving him to a new state with different stimuli he began losing his sight. Despite all the tribulations Meatloaf has faced he still enjoys company and interacting with other dogs. All babies that come to our house must be up to date on vaccinations and be on flea medication. This is a force-free house, so no shock, prong, or pinch collars. As I stated dogs are individuals so a meet and greet must occur prior to the first use of our services

I’ve never met someone who loves animals more than Jim. My dog Carolina just loves him! He is very attentive to her needs and I feel like I can absolutely trust he will always make her stay safe as well as fun!

If you have ever owned a dog...this is a man you would appreciate having his hand on them. Because they are filled with love. My Carolina had a love for him. She ended up being very ill with an advanced stage of cancer...Jim never hesitated with giving her love, making sure she was safe, looking after her. He took her for her last walk. I’m forever grateful for him. Best ever!

I have known Jim for just short of a year now, however his love for animals I can tell runs many years beyond that. He’s a frequent guest in my home, and my dog, Ellie has grown to love and trust him as Jim’s own dog does. He’s gentle, understanding and knows the ideal way to communicate with all types of pets. This is evident in his interactions with neighbors and their animals. I trust him to always have Ellie’s best interests and safety in mind. Team that with his adoration for all animals and he makes for the most perfect person to trust with your family pet.

If there is a person on this planet that loves dogs more than Jim, I'd like to meet them. You can trust Jim to treat your dog as if they are is own. He will go well above and beyond to care for your pet. He has training and is experienced to do the job to the quality and pet owner would expect. HIGHLY recommend!
