Your dogs other "best" friend

Pet care experience

Your pet has my undivided attention 100%. It's all about happiness for our pets. I've trained, loved, raised litters of pups until adult hood. What a gift it is. I've worked with all breed of dogs plus cats, rabbits, horses, even a camel. These pets are our right hand and if that bond is understood then it's for life.

I’m always a little skeptical when reviews are overwhelmingly good. Topher is a true gift. We were so worried about traveling and leaving our anxious dog with someone he didn’t know. It was clear from the moment that Topher came into our home to meet Jim that he was the only choice we’d be moving forward to as long as he’ll offer dog watching services. I kid you not that when we got home from our trip, after our dog greeted us, he still nuzzled into Topher! The only thing to worry about now is whether Jim likes Topher more than us haha! Very very happy to know our pets were well taken care of.

Topher did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for our two cats and our large, very needy lab. He stayed for a full week, sent regular photos and updates, and was a wonderful guest. He left the house even better than he found it. We would absolutely recommend him and look forward to booking with him again.

Topher was great with my dog Moose! Came over a couple times before my trip to meet us and get instructions for my trip. Sent lots of pictures and updates while I was away. Moose took to him right away and was excited to see him!
