Information Tim J. would like to know about your pet

I'm a sucker for bigger dogs... but little guys are fun too. I like to keep them busy, no matter what size. At the end of the day, if they are tuckered out... It makes for a great sleep for all of us ;-)

A typical day

Nice long walks (1+ miles in your neighborhood). Dog parks are always fun meeting spots for owners and their dogs. Got a frizbee, ball or chew toy... sounds like fun to me!

Pets

Dog owner with training experience.

Pet care experience

I have always had labs or retrievers in the house. I have trained my pets to always obey and greet people with kindness, yet still be loud with a bark when someone approaches the front door. Our dogs have always been great with kids and have never had problems with them running off. We take care of any medications, ear drops, eye drops, and of course proper diet, food, water and treats. We live on a golf course and enjoy taking our dog out for exercise. Throwing the ball or frisbee is her favorite. On sunny days we take her to the beach. We have SUV jeep to transport up to two large dogs to the beach, store or vet. We love dogs (able to handle large size dogs, puppies and older dog care)

Tim is very knowledgeable about dogs. He sent photos and followed our instructions. We were stressing over my upcoming doctor appt in Charleston and having Tim take care of Jiggs meant a lot..

Tim is absolutely the best! The dogs love him and we have total peace of mind when we have to go away. We missed our flight home and had to extend by a day and having Tim with our dogs gave us one less thing to worry about. I would go so far as to say that we are actually considering planning our next vacation around Tim's availability. 100% recommend.
