Pets

I love dogs & treat them as family!

Pet care experience

I love animals, especially dogs! Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life for many decades. I'm very cheerful and engaging with pets and enjoy caring for them. If I have the opportunity to care for your precious loved one, they will look forward to spending time with me again. I have a 12 lb spayed female Chihuahua named Porkchop that is always by my side. She is shy at first but very playful once she warms up - Porkchop gets along great with other dogs. I own a house on a 1/3 acre lot with fenced back yard that backs up to a park with walking trails. I also live within 10 minutes of many parks in SW Charlotte including McDowell Nature Preserve, in case your dog likes car rides and nature hiking. I look forward to caring for your dog and being a trusted friend to your loved one while you are away. Dogs with special needs are welcome and will be very well cared for.

Jim and Porkchop take the very best care of our pups and our home! Over the last few years Jim has become our go to for whenever we travel and he always exceeds our expectations! Can’t begin to express how thankful we are for the piece of mind his high level of care and attention provide while we are away!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
