I have a dog lead hooked up to the house and it goes all the way back to the maple tree on the back of the property. 20 ft in either direction gives Fido plenty of room to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, your pup is in the house with me and my family. I am offering dog boarding services. This is a friendly Christian home. Lots of love to share.

Information James E. would like to know about your pet

You should provide your own food as some dogs can be particular. If your dog has any special needs, kindly make me aware of this.

A typical day

Having fun with dogs is an absolute joy and many times the best part of my day. Whether it's playing fetch in the park, going for a long hike in the woods, or simply cuddling up on the couch, the bond between humans and dogs is unparalleled.

Pet care experience

Welcome, y'all! I love watching dogs. We watch kitty cats too 😁. Cheapest rates around! Let me make it easier for you to celebrate your vacation and holidays! Let me sit for your pup. I...love... dogs! My parents were dog breeders for years. As a youngster, I was responsible for many of the chores. As an adult, I have always had pets. I know how important your dog is to you. Your dog is your 'baby'. We are definitely dog lovers in this house! Big dog specialist. I love the little dogs too, though! ☺️💪🎄🎁❤️‍🩹 I will treat your pup like my own.

I wasn’t worried about my dog for a moment while I was away. It was really great to be able to focus on family time out of town and know that my baby was in good hands. Not only was he well taken care of, he came home EXHAUSTED, giving me time to unwind and relax after my trip. My dog clearly had a very good time, and I could not be happier with my experience.

My two pups had an overnight with James and his family. We have been looking for a new sitter for more than 6 months since ours moved to another state. The girls came back happy and tired. I got updates and photos while they were with him. We will be using James again.

Boarding with James was super easy. He truly loves the dogs and gave us peace of mind our dog Jack was in good hands. Prompt communication. Will definitely be booking again!

Biscuit enjoyed his time and we were able to travel with confidence that our dog would be cared for as if he was at home.
