Semi-retired and I love dogs

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been an important part of my life. When I visit friends, I enjoy spending time with their dogs. Because of being semi-retired, I can often readjust my schedule to the needs of each family. I have used friends to stay with my dogs when I go on vacation so I know that I expect reliability in caring for my dogs and therefore I will be reliable with their dog. I see my responsibility as becoming a trusted companion for their dog. It is extremely important that I understand what the owner expects of me and what they want from the person spending time with their dog. I want to be able to connect emotionally with the dogs and adjust to their different characteristics.

Jim is one of the most kind, patient, loving people I have ever met. From the first time he met our two furry family members they were all best friends for life. Where other people might admire a dog, or maybe pet a dog, Jim will sit down and make actual friends with your dog. Jim talks to my dogs, scratches behind their ears, and will endlessly play fetch (or anything else) until he has to go home. Jim has offered to dog-sit overnight or take our dogs while we went on vacation; he even offered to come over to our house to walk the dogs while we were home, just because. Having worked alongside Jim at our local church, I can also say with confidence that he is friendly, professional, reliable, and good natured. I trust Jim completely with our fur babies, and heartily recommend him for all your dog sitting needs!

For as long as I have known Jim, dogs have been a very important part of his life. Jim has two dogs of his own that he totally adores, and they in turn love and adore Jim. They are friendly and very gentle dogs, they are very well behaved and are a lot of fun to be around. Jim is a people person and sometimes it is hard for me to tell whether he loves people or dogs more, obviously it's people, but dogs are his second love for sure. I have personally observed Jim going up to strangers and talking with them about their dogs, I have actually seen Jim sit down in the dirt just to be able to have a dog approach him so he could get to know the dog better, he is amazing to watch him interact with people and with dogs. - Mark H.
