I am home almost 100% of the time when I have an animal and will be one on one with your animals nearly all of the time. Caring for animals has become my life so when I have one with me they get lots of my love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of walking options that I've explored with many different dogs and go on many walks per day unless extremely hot or in inclement weather. On really hot days, I prioritize the early mornings and later evenings when the sun isn't beating down and the temp is lowest. I watch a few really active dogs that it's common we put in 5-8 miles between 5-11am and a few more in the evening. In ideal conditions I will generally just follow your instructions on lengths of walks but have a few active ones who I take on 10-15 walks a day and we will put in up to 15-20 miles in a day so be open about how much they like to walk/exercise. I do not like to leave animals alone. It's a rarity I leave at all but if I'm going to be gone longer than 15 minutes I'll have a backup sitter fill in for my peace of mind.

Information Tim B. would like to know about your pet

Please also let me know what your animals need to be happy and what makes their tails wag outside of basic care. The more details and the low down on any quirks they might have or anything that they love or that soothes them the better.

A typical day

If your dog likes walks, we always start the day with an early morning walk, breakfast, then another walk or two or three. I take smaller, elderly, and special needs animals on walks if able as I love catering to their needs.

Let me spoil and love your pet.

Pet care experience

I have a laid back atmosphere with low stress. I provide individual attention in a quiet part of town and have no animals of my own. I strive for an environment where your pet receives lots of affection, play, and stress relief. I enjoy bonding with and making them feel like safe, secure, and a little spoiled. Let me know if you have any special requests. I love the challenge of appeasing separation anxiety though it's more an art than a science. I provide lots of one on one time and make the animals(s) the center of my world for the short time I'm with them whether they come to me or at your house. I pride myself on quality of care rather than the quantity. I don't typically leave animals alone much if at all. Also, with your permission, I can take your pet out on walks through my neighborhood or if house sitting in your area. I'm disabled but am very active and love to work and of course love animals. When I pet sit, that animal becomes my center of attention. I never have more than 2 or 3 at a time and they usually come from the same home as Im picky about mixing dogs especially if I don't know them but definitely do make some exceptions. I try to keep my schedule open as this is not just my passion but my way of life and my purpose. Caring for animals has changed my life in ways I didn't think possible and it couldn't be more rewarding. Just let me know what really makes your animal feel loved and calm. Reach out always as I will do whatever in my power to accommodate your pet and make sure that even if at the last minute you have a reliable option for your pet who will not only be safe, fed, and watered, but loved, shown affection, interaction, and exercise. I can be fully customizable based on your precious animals needs. I specialize in one on one attention and special needs pets. I never have more than 2-3 animals and usually just one. I have a fenced yard and quiet house. Only me and my elderly father will be around your animal. I will always be near by and with your approval, your animal will not be crated at all. I'm very patient and became an animal lover at an early age between pets and having a father who was a zoo director. If you have any questions or concerns just ask. I do mostly house/pet sittings and boardings with the animal or animals coming to me but can do walks or drops-ins and doggie day care.

We recently left our Dachshund, Jasper, for an almost 3-week stay with Tim. He gives our pup such special and individualized care that we had absolutely no worries on our trip! Jasper loves staying with Tim!

Tim was great with our two dogs. Our 5-year-old has anxiety issues, and we have a 5-month-old puppy who is a bundle of energy. Tim was very loving and caring to both. We will definitely use Tim again.

Tim took very good care of my little Hedwig. She is calm and content upon returning home.

Very nice person. Dogs and cat loved him. House was just as we left it. We cannot thank him enough. Will definitely contact Tim in the future!
