Seasoned Dog lover/care giver

Pet care experience

LIfelong and proud dog owner. I had raised our family dogs (multiple breeds), was the primary caretaker of each, and friends, neighbors, and co-workers have relied on me to take care of their pets when away. I am currently a retiree (young) and have enough stamina and flexibility to play with your fur kids! I'm available primarily Monday through Friday, but will make time for Saturdays and Sundays. I always maintain fresh, plentiful water for my pets, take them for walks for at least half an hour, talk to them, maintain a clean, and hygienic environment, and most certainly are engaged with them and do not leave them alone very long. I'm currently a part-time caretaker for my elderly mother. My brother and I share the responsibilities, so I have plenty of flexibility to be with your pet(s). I cared for my Cocker Spaniel, Lady, until her passing in 2019 (19 years young!). Primarily in condominiums, so I currently do not have a pet. However, I would care for yours just like I did with her by taking good quality walks, and having quality play time in your yard, or nearby parks, or beaches.

Information Jim S. would like to know about your pet

I think it is important to know their names, any conditions they may have, any dietary regimens (or particular treats), and any special needs or behaviors.

A typical day

I try and engage your dogs mentally to get them to play, walk, and/or run. We'll play with their toys and provide plenty of time to check out new smells.
