Pet care experience

We would love to host your pup!

We recently said goodbye to our best friend of 9 years (Rustler) and now we're looking to meet some new friends and have some extra joy in our home. Both of my kids love dogs and would be eager to play, walk or cuddle them at our home as needed. I work from home, so there will be very little alone time. We'll be donating everything we earn to Nuzzles & Co, a local non-profit shelter.

Jim and his family were great! I'd definitely use them again! He gave me updates and had a lot of fun with our dog!

Jim and his kids took such great care of my giant fur baby for the weekend! He provided pictures and communication throughout Willow’s stay and ensured she got lots of pets and attention while we were apart. Will certainly book with him again!

James and his kids took great care of Cedar! Lots of snuggles and walks :) James was very accommodating and responsive. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter!

Jim is about as big of an animal lover as they come. Any dog in his orbit quickly becomes his new best friend—whether that means joining him for a walk or hike, hanging out in his office while he works, or hopping in the car for a ride. He’s always ready with plenty of pets and talks to them like they are a member of the family (and honestly, with how good he is at connecting with animals I think one day they might talk back!) I would gladly hand over any pet of my own to Jim for a fun day of adventure and affection.

I have known Jim and his family for 25 years. During that time, he has always loved dogs, and he takes great care of them. He is a dedicated pet owner, and I would always be willing to trust him with my own pets.

Schedule

I work from home so other than kid activities we're around. During ski season we ski Sundays so try to avoid that day to prevent too much time alone
