XXL Breeds and Special needs are OK

Pet care experience

I'm a lifelong animal lover who would love to meet your dog! I'm attentive, observant and most of all patient. I love dogs of all sizes and energy levels! Ive been a Professional Dog Groomer for 6 years and I’ve seen it all. I would love to show your dog a great time and do what I can to keep them comfortable. I love helping dogs become more confident and well rounded. My personal pets are a Standard Poodle, Miniature Schanuzer and a Bedlington Terrier. I have experience with many breeds from a miniature pincher all the way up to a Great Pyrenees!

I have known James C as an excellent pet boarder (and amazing pet groomer) for over 3 years. James is careful, attentive to every detail, kind, trustworthy, and consistently uses good judgment. He treats pets and their parents with respect. He listens to and remembers my detailed instructions. Our Pandemic Poodle is afraid of everyone and everything, and James put in EXTRA effort to gain her trust! My two usually noisy chihuahuas clamor for his attention! He’s a wonder worker! I choose James exclusively for boarding my furbabies.

James is AMAZING!! We are so glad we found him. He lovingly cared for our 13 yr old min pin and truly treated him like he was his own. Chief loved hanging out with him so much and joining his pack. They had a very special relationship and every time Chief stayed with him, he came home with a fantastic disposition and he was truly sad to leave him and the pack. He had so much fun!! We loved getting photo and status updates. He was diligent with our senior dog’s special diet and insulin as well. I honestly don’t think there is anyone else I could trust as much as James. He is GOLD!! We recently adopted a new-to-us pup who has met and loved James. He’s staying with him in a few weeks and we know they will get along famously! Dogs love him. We love him. You and your pups will not be disappointed! He’s the BEST!!!!

James has been Maya's groomer for almost as long as I've had her, and James and Maya have developed a beautiful bond. Maya, a double-coated Samoyed, loves to "go get pretty with James". He is an exceptional groomer, and he ensures that Maya's coats are in exemplary condition and that her nails are never left sharp or with snags. My family traveled out of the country for a couple of weeks this year, and we had to get a sitter for Maya. James is the only person we felt could love and care for her the way we do, and that he did! We got frequent photos and videos of their activities, which we loved and needed as we had never left her even overnight before. James walked Maya the many miles she needed and provided her with lots of love, care, and companionship. I would strongly recommend James for any of your dog (or pet) needs.

James is a responsible and passionate caretaker of animals. He understands countless breeds' specific needs and attitudes which allows him to connect with an animal, especially dogs. This allows a dog to be comfortable around him and helps ensure a safe environment. My dog is like a kid to me and I trust that when my pet is in James' care he will be kept safe, healthy and happy.

Information James C. would like to know about your pet

Do they like small or large dogs? When they prefer to eat and any diet restrictions. I like a list of things that help them get comfortable and what makes them nervous or uneasy.

A typical day

If your dog enjoys car rides I would love to take them for a walk downtown in Kalamazoo. The Kalamazoo mall has heated sidewalks in the winter so no salt! Trips to Lowe’s are always fun for dogs that enjoy interaction with humans. Long walks at picturesque Kindleburger park is my favorite place to burn some energy for active dogs like husky’s.
