James can care for

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old

Availability

My schedule is pretty consistent with working from home, which makes it easy for me to plan walks and check-ins ahead of time. I’m available most days and try to keep a steady routine so dogs know what to expect each time. I also make sure to leave enough time between bookings so I’m not rushing and can give each dog proper attention.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for a dog, I try to stick as closely as possible to their usual routine so they feel comfortable. I pay attention to details like leash safety, surroundings on walks, and any specific instructions from the owner. I’m naturally pretty calm and patient, which helps dogs settle in and feel at ease. I also make sure to communicate clearly and send updates so you know how things are going.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog owner for about 6 years and have experience with both puppies and older dogs. I’ve helped with basic training for younger dogs (things like routines and simple commands) and understand the extra patience and care that senior dogs need. I’m comfortable adjusting to different energy levels, whether that means keeping a puppy engaged or giving an older dog a slower, more relaxed routine. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and getting to know their personalities, so I try to make sure they feel comfortable and settled.

James was truly great with my little Bella! She was an elderly dog and had some health issues. I could rely on him to ensure she was given her medication and was well-loved while he watched her. He’s great about providing updates, following instructions, and giving my first baby all the attention when I wasn’t present. Highly recommend him for to everyone with a pet!
