History

Established in 2012.

Although I’ve been taking care of pets for family and neighbors for over 40 years, I decided to start doing this as a business last year when I had a very dificult time finding a professional sitter to look after my pets here in Desert Hot Springs. I love pets and this is really a good fit for me. Now I look to serve the pets and pet owners in Desert Hot Springs.

Meet the Business Owner

Jim W.

Business Owner

Growing up in Texas my family always had an assortment of pets including multiple inside and outside dogs, cats, birds, fish and an alligator. I’ve always enjoyed being around animals. Joined the Navy out of high school. After an honorable discharge from the Navy, I worked my way through college receiving BS and MBA degrees at the University of Houston. Then had over a 20 year career in property management working for various companies. Was laid off in 2010 and started buying and refurbishing houses to rent in the Coachella Valley. In 2011 I began my own Real Estate Broker/​Property Management business. In 2012 I also started a pet sitting/​dog walking business to supplement my income. This pet sitting business is really a lot more fun and gratifying for me than the RE Broker business. Today I live with a rabbit, dog, and 2 cats as well as my girl friend here in Desert Hot Springs.
