I love dogs of all types!
Pet care experience
I grew up with cattle dogs (border collies) and learned to train at a pretty early age. I also was a dog walker in NYC for a number of years while pursuing an acting career. I love training pups, and I love figuring out each dogs' idiosyncracies. All dogs are different. I've had experience with high energy dogs as well as dogs in need of senior care.
Reviews
James was really good, I contacted him basically last minute and he was available to watch our dogs in our home. Both dogs loved him, they received lots of walks and great care. Would recommend and would use him again.
James was amazing!! I had a last minute need; James answered right away and was able to come that night for a meet and greet which was great. He was super patient with my 15mo old who can be anxious and nervous of strangers. He sent numerous pictures and updates and left my apartment in pristine condition! I will definitely be hoping to use James again in the future!
James is absolutely outstanding. I sent my request last minute and he replied right away, he let me know when he could arrive, leave and even when he could make it for a meet and greet within the first message. My dog was smitten with him and he was very respectful of our home. He even took Max on a walk in the morning before we returned! Thank you so much James and if it isn’t obvious, we would recommend him to anyone and everyone!
James was very professional and thorough. He sent lots of pictures and made me feel like my pups were well taken care of. He even won over the grumpy dog of the pack and that says a lot. ☺️ We will definitely engage James again.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I'll learn to be attuned to your pets' behaviours. If they resource guard over food or toys, I'll keep them separate. I'm also organized and diligent about giving medicine if needed. I can also practice their training.
Information James B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if a dog is good around other dogs. I like to know if they are good on a leash or have leash aggression. I like to know if they resource guard. I like to know a little bit about their fears or prey drives.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks. I like meeting other dogs as well as the dogs' behaviour allows. Nosehill is always a great spot for a meet and greet. If your dog is comfortable in the water. There are also some nice spots to swim in Bowmont park.

Currently, my Tuesdays and Thursdays are full, but I am still taking clients Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm pretty flexible with time, and am always happy to do a meet and greet.
