Robust Veteran Dog Walker

Pet care experience

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.

James has been great to come visit our dog on long weekends when we are away. We have used him several times with no issues.

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.

Information James C. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

If your dog loves to go on walks, I will take them. If your dog prefers to be sleeping on the couch or being petted, I can do that too. I am also open to taking your dogs to the dog park, so long as your dog is a social butterfly, and gets along with dogs. Fetch, hide and seek, keepaway, and other activities are also things that I will do.
