Freelance Dog Love

Pet care experience

I have a lifetime of experience caring for and loving pets of all shapes and sizes and also have worked as an assistant dog groomer and at a cat cafe. I grew up with dogs and puppies as my grandmother was a dog breeder and I often helped socialize the puppies before they went to their new homes. I currently work as a freelance social media manager and work from home so I will be able to spend full days and nights with your pets and send you as many updates and cute pictures as you want. I can provide in-home baths and minor trimming (such as the fur between your dog's pads) as well as daily brushing and working out mats. Since I currently do not have any pets living with me, I will be able to give all my pet-loving to your furry best friends. I have experience with large and small dogs, cats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, fish, frogs, and a prairie dog, so I am ready and excited to care for any and all critters you have in addition to your dog.

As usual Jimmy is so patient with Pixie, thank you so much for being the one person we can rely on to care for her.

Jimmy was great with my Lily. Lily is a sweetheart but towards dogs she is reactive and I was looking for someone able to handle that side of her. Lily also warmed up real quick towards Jimmy and I will be using her services more often.

Jimmy has been so wonderful with my precious puppy! I get great pictures and updates, and my pup absolutely loves her visits! Jimmy has been a huge help in raising my puppy and I am so grateful for the dedication and amazing service provided.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets needs vary widely between individuals. Some need a lot of exercise with toys or walks. Some need a lot of social interaction while others prefer to do their own thing.

Information Jimmy L. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a dog, I would like to know a little bit about their personality, especially how they deal with strange people and dogs so I'll know how best to handle them when we're out walking. Some dogs love making new friends while others would rather do their own thing and knowing your dog's social habits will help me to insure they have a positive experience on walks or in parks. My grandmother used to breed Cavalier King Charles Spaniels so I have a special place in my heart for them and for all spaniels, but I am much more interested in your dog's personality than pedigree. While I am able to handle a high-energy dog, I would prefer not to work with dogs with a history of aggressive behavior.

A typical day

Before staying with your dog, I will look up local parks and other places to walk and play outdoors. I love taking dogs out to see the world and exploring their neighborhood with them. Indoor play with favorite toys is important as well and once your dog is tired out, it's a great time for a good brushing. Of course, I am always ready for snuggle time and would love nothing more than for your dog to fall asleep on my lap. If you're working on training your dog, I am happy to keep up their education. I am familiar with clicker training and positive reenforcement methods.
