New to retirement-love dogs

I’m a dog lover and will love your dog. They sense it! I have some flexibility and can do last minute drop ins and “emergency” walks if you get stuck. I can walk solo or with another dog and can do trips for off leash walks. We have lived on Bainbridge so long that our first dogs were mostly off leash and became neighborhood dogs. We previously had a Kitsap HS adoptee who had medication needs so I am conscientious about those issues as well. I’d like to meet Rover before taking on a walk or a dog-sitting gig and can make time to do that. I am reliable and punctual and with dogs firm but loving. Hope I can help you out. Thank you!

Tim was amazing. I’ve never felt better leaving my dog, my cats and my home with a stranger. Thank you!

Tim and his wife treat Lucy like a member of their family while she’s there. I can’t think of a better situation for her while we are away.

Tim has watched our lab on five occasions now. He is always flexible with times of drop-off & pick-up - and responds promptly to texts. Cisco is beyond well-cared for in Tim's home. Cisco is walked frequently & loved on by Tim's whole family & neighbors. Each time we leave town, I feel no guilt or worry, as I used to with kennel-boarding. Thanks for all the pictures you sent, Tim!

My dog is 16 this month and has his aging issues! Tim did a fantastic job taking care of him and adapting to his needs. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Tim for the 3 days we were gone, and really had peace of mind the entire time I was on my trip. Thank you Tim!
