Loving Dog Care, Home From Home 🐾

🐾 Loving, Reliable & Trusted Dog Care — Like a Home Away From Home Hi! I’m James 👋 I’m a genuine animal lover who understands that leaving your dog with someone new can be a big decision. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, happy and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐶 Your dog will be treated like part of the family Whether your dog loves long walks and adventures, playing in the garden, or simply curling up and relaxing, I’ll adapt their stay around their normal routine, personality and energy level. ❤️ What you can expect from me ✓ Plenty of love, attention and companionship ✓ Regular walks tailored to your dog’s needs ✓ Feeding kept to their normal schedule ✓ Playtime, enrichment and plenty of cuddles ✓ A safe, comfortable and welcoming environment ✓ Regular photo and video updates ✓ Clear, reliable communication throughout their stay ✓ Individual care based on your dog’s routine and personality 📸 Regular Updates I know how reassuring it is to see that your dog is enjoying themselves. I’ll keep you updated with photos, videos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and having a great time. 🏡 A Home Away From Home I want your dog’s stay to feel less like being “looked after” and more like staying with someone they already know and trust. I’m happy to learn about their favourite walks, toys, feeding routine, sleeping habits, commands and all the little things that make them happy. Every dog is different — and that’s exactly how I’ll treat them. 🐕 Dog Boarding 🦮 Dog Walking 🏡 Drop-In Visits ❤️ Personal, attentive care

Doggy Day Care • Sep 12, 2026

James looked after Cleo super short notice, was great on his communication and accommodating us. She clearly had a great day and is totally knackered after lots of walks and fun with James and his family. I can't recommend him highly enough. Thanks so much Rhianna and Cleo

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about making sure your pet feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’ll start with a walk and plenty of time to explore, followed by fresh water, feeding according to their usual routine, and some well-deserved relaxation. Throughout the day, I’ll provide plenty of playtime, attention, cuddles, and enrichment based on your pet’s personality and energy levels. For active dogs, we can enjoy longer walks and outdoor adventures, while older or more relaxed pets can enjoy shorter strolls and lots of companionship. I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as close to what they’re used to at home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re having a great day.

Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know a little about them so I can make their stay as safe, comfortable, and enjoyable as possible. Please let me know about their usual routine, feeding schedule, personality, energy level, favourite activities, and any special requirements. It’s also important for me to know about any medical needs, allergies, medications, behavioural concerns, fears or triggers, and how they get along with other dogs, pets, children, and new people. The more I know beforehand, the better I can make your pet feel happy and at home.
