Availability

I have a very flexible schedule and am available for walks and pet care throughout most weekdays. As I mainly work evenings, my days are generally free, apart from the occasional gym session or coffee catch-up with a friend. This means I can offer reliable daytime walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, whether you need regular weekly care or last-minute help. I’m happy to work around your dog’s routine to make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need.

About James A.

Dog skills

16 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

Every dog is different, and I believe the best care comes from taking the time to understand each dog’s individual personality, routine, and needs. I’ve looked after a wide variety of dogs, from large breeds to small, energetic puppies to calm seniors, and dogs that are confident and outgoing as well as those that are nervous or reactive. This experience has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting my approach to suit each dog. I always respect the training methods, routines, and boundaries set by owners, ensuring consistency so your dog feels safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether that’s avoiding certain triggers, reinforcing training, or following a specific walking routine, I’ll always put your dog’s wellbeing first and treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own.

Huge dog lover, sitter and walker

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs and have spent my whole life living with and walking them, often caring for multiple dogs at once. I currently have a rescue Kai Ken who can be a little nervous, so I’ve become very experienced in understanding her needs and managing her behaviour around other dogs. My girlfriend also has a nervous rescue, and over the years I’ve built a wonderful relationship with them through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. As well as caring for my own dogs, I’ve become the go-to dog sitter for family, friends, and friends of friends, looking after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m happy travelling across London to collect and drop off dogs, making things as convenient as possible for their owners. Outside of dog care, I’m a trained dancer and work part-time at a music venue. Dance is my biggest passion, but I also love music and enjoy playing the guitar in my spare time. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where they feel comfortable and happy. I hope to meet you and your dog soon.

James has a real gift with dogs. He has such a calm, reassuring presence that even nervous dogs quickly trust him. Our rescue dog, Riz, is terrified of most men, but James is one of the only people he feels completely safe with. He’s kind, active, attentive, and incredibly responsible. I trust him completely with any dog and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker or sitter.
