A Dog Trainer That Likes Dogs
As a trainer, I have no issue handling big reactive or high energy dogs. Walks or visits will always have a structure that allows them to get the most out of our time together. With this heat, morning and nights will be where we play the most :) Often we will book secure fields as well to take your dog if you allow it. Finally the safety of your dog is paramount. Send me a message to discuss any concerns, special needs/considerations and let’s get your walk or visit booked :)

Ratings and reviews
James is absolutely fantastic. I'll admit, I only joined Rover in a pinch because I'd left it too late to book a kennel for an August holiday. However I now see that as a happy accident as it lead us to James, and I'd be happy to use him again in future. He kept us up to date with photos and messages, and Lola has come home completely chilled after having a great time in James's care.
One of the best people we have used on rover to look after our cockapoo Mabel! She seemed to have the best time. Going on lots of walks multiple times per day and kept up to date with photos of her adventures. We will definitely be rebooking and actually getting her in for some dog training with James soon!
James took great care of Bailey and I couldn’t be happier with her stay. He sent me regular updates and photos throughout, which was really reassuring and gave me peace of mind. Bailey came home happy, relaxed and clearly well looked after. Communication was excellent, and the whole experience was smooth from drop-off to collection. I would definitely book with James again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Hobnob received. From the very beginning, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and go above and beyond to make them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dog came home relaxed, well cared for, and clearly had a wonderful time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone trustworthy and reliable to look after our furry family member. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, professional, and dependable dog sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Hobnob—we’ll definitely be booking again!
Thank you James for taking great care of Maisie over the weekend! I highly recommend James if you want somebody who actually cares about dogs and understands their needs he is the man to trust with your four legged family member. He sends pictures and updates too!

Schedule
Pet care for me will be part time. It will fit around my Full-Time work Schedule during the day. If we are to develop a long term routine I will be able to work my time to fit within reason

Safety, trust & environment
All pets are treated with the upmost respect as if they were people themselves. Treats and rewards will vary on what owners will and will not allow! This also goes for any training considerations.

A typical day
My day with my pet begins with a joyful wake up call from wagging tails. After breakfast, we go for a morning walk, enjoying the fresh air. A short walk during lunch is next, followed by a relieving evening play in the park. Usually by the end they’re nice and tired.
