Safety, trust & environment

I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.

Information James C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences that I can account for to provide the best experience possible. I'm comfortable with breeds of all sizes.

A typical day

I like to stimulate dogs physically and mentally, wether it's a favorite toy or game, any go-to walking routes and smells in the neighborhood, or any parks nearby. If your dog is accustomed to go running, that is something that I particularly enjoy (after getting established and comfortable with your dog) to get some exercise myself (win-win!).

Pets

Active human, lover of animals.

Pet care experience

I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town.

James is fantastic. He is so Careful with my older dog ( 14 yrs.) border collie, with some age issues. Sends updates every visit, with great communication. And really cares about not just your dog, but how you are when your away from your beloved best friend! Absolutely recommend him for your pet care. 10/10 stars!

Thank you to James for helping us out over the holidays! James was great with communication and our dogs took to him right away; they could tell he’s a dog person. He also went out of his way to help with things around the house that came up while he was here. Will definitely reach out to him again when we are in need. Thanks James!

Highly recomend James. He helped me during a family emergency, came the same day I contacted him for the meet and greet. Started right away. And took great care of my aging Border Collie. She's a picky eater and James went above and beyond to make sure she ate, ( she dosen't allways eat when im gone). I honestly never write reviews for anyone, but I am definitely impressed. Thank you so much James, for taking such good care of my Casey dog.
