Robust Veteran Dog Walker

Hello, I'm James and I've been a dog walker since 2015. I used to operate this business alongside my wife, but she has moved on to another job. So all of the dogs are mine to walk and she misses out on the puppies! I've lived with dogs all my life, both large and small. There was never a time in my life when I didn’t share my house with at least one dog, and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I've also lived around several cats for a time, and have cared for various animals including small birds, hamsters, chickens, rabbits, and turtles. I've been around puppies, kittens, rowdy roosters, and senior animals. I'm comfortable around all animals so long as they are willing to have me in their space. And speaking of space, I am a big and tall guy, so if your animals are shy or easily spooked, I may not be the best choice for your fur babies. (Of course, I will always do my best to make your dogs feel at ease). But the added bonus of being robust is I can handle the bigger breeds, like Great Danes and Cane Corsos.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not provide pet care in my home; instead, I go to your homes where your animals are the most comfortable. I never walk dogs from different households together unless I get express permission from all parties involved.

James did a wonderful job caring for our cats. He was dependable, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel comfortable while we were away. We came home to happy cats and would definitely book with him again. Highly recommend!

James took wonderful care of Maddy on short notice. She was a happy Labrador every day when I returned home! He sent regular pictures and updates from their walks, which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely use him again for future walks and care.

James was helping me to take care of my cats, Blosom and Kristal. It was second time I hired James. He fed my cats and cleaned their litter boxes. He also cleaned the floor around litter boxes.He was doing that every day for 21 days. I will hire James again, or I will recommend him to everybody.

James has been babysitting Teddy for several years, and is always prompt and reliable. He is great with Teddy, and I really appreciate being able to go out of town for the day without having to worry about my fur baby!

As usual! James did a great job during drop-in visits with Teddy. I very much appreciate being able to go out of town for the day and not worry about Teddy for the day. It gives me great peace of mind to be have James watch Teddy for the day!

I am a big and tall guy! Some animals are easily spooked by males (especially those that have been abused by men in the past). If your furbabies are shy or intimidated by big people, I may not be the best choice. However, I do know how to approach timid animals, so that's not a problem for me. If you've got a strong and big breed, I'm your man. Please let me know if your dog has allergies or needs medication. Let me know how your dogs walk on the leash and if they are reactive to things or people while walking. Do they eat things they are not supposed to? Do they have a habit of opening doors, cabinets or drawers? Do your dogs have separation anxiety?
