Long Time Pet Lover Happy to Care for Your Dog(s)

Pet care experience

Growing up I always had many pets and now have two beautiful Italian Greyhounds, Horatio and Konstantin. I frequently have friend's dogs stay over at mine or I walk them to help out, either with my boys or on their own. Both of my dogs are very social. I am available seven days a week for dog boarding, house sitting, dog walking or check-in visits. This can be with my dogs or yours only. I have a very dog-friendly flat in Hoxton/ Shoreditch with a secure, walled courtyard. I will also take your dog(s) for walks or runs in one of the many neighbouring parks.

We have used James twice now and each time our 2 came back absolutely finished from a weekend of play. James is just such a calm and relaxed person that clearly rubs off on the dogs, and Basil and Pickle so excited to see him and his boys again. We will definitely recommend James, Horatio and Konstantin as per sitters and will be booking with him in the future again.

I can't recommend James highly enough. He did a wonderful job of looking after my two dogs, an Italian Greyhound and a Pug/Jack Russell cross for a couple of weeks. The latter is elderly, almost fully blind and has really slowed down in recent times but he clearly managed to expertly incorporate and tailor her exercise, attention and care each day, allowing both of my dogs to very obviously enjoy their stay. His two Italian Greyhounds are absolutely lovely as well. Thank you James - we'll be back!

Right next to me is a dog that has clearly spent the last week playing, having fun and being really well taken care of. Leia always has tons of energy and to see her so relaxed and satisfied really brings us a lot of joy. James took such good care of our girl. Always made a brief daily update accompanied by such great photos and his 2 dogs Horacio and Constantin were such a big plus on Leia's vacations! By the time James handled Leia back to us, we could clearly see she had bonded and really enjoyed the time she spent away. Thanks so much for taking care of our "little" girl as if she was yours.

Snoot had the best time with James and his two super friendly Italian Greyhounds Konstantin and Horatio. He made sure to give her plenty of exercise and play in the park and to keep me updated throughout the weekend with pictures. It was Snoot’s first boarding experience and I’ll rebook James without hesitation. Five stars!
