Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a young teenager. I raised my wonderful Jack Russell Terrier from a puppy until she crossed the rainbow bridge in December 2022 at age 14. My wife and I have adopted our delightful Beagle, Toby, who was born in February 2023. I am incredibly comfortable around dogs and absolutely love playing, walking, and cuddling with dogs of all ages.

James was very kind and accommodating. He took great care of our little dog and sent us photos each day. We really appreciated everything.

James was beyond great with my 16-year old dachshund. She was happy and comfortable, and at ease, which is a big change for her! They provided me plenty of updates and I could tell she was in great hands. Thanks James (and Toby)!

James and hus lovely wife took amazing care of my pup. This was literally the longest time I spent without her (24hr) but he/they did an amazing job. My pup is skittish and only really likes me but his home was inviting, warm, and a perfect place to board her. I would highly recommend James as he is a super nice man and a great household. I had no fear of leaving my beloved puppy with him. She did great and that's all thanks to him. He deserves to treat your animal friend like royalty. 100/100 stars.
