I am pleased that Myles was well cared for by Jim. Myles received the same pampered attention with Jima as he receives at home. It was also comforting to receive periodic photos to see how well Myles adjusted to his new environment. I would use Jim again in the future.

James and his wife were wonderful for my dog Rosie. She loved staying with them and they said she was a very good girl. James only watches one dog at a time. That's great for Rosie, because she loved all the attention. I can't wait to have them watch her again. They are my go-to puppy sitters.

I like to know their daily habits. Such as meal time, play time. I like to know if they have a toy or blanket the are comfortable with.
