I love playing and sleeping

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my entire life owning and caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve had small dogs, big dogs, young dogs, and old dogs. I spent a year as a hunting dog trainer, but otherwise have and care for dogs for the companionship and fun. I've raised and fostered multiple neglected/abused puppies/dogs and know the patience it can take to work with them and make them comfortable. In addition to my lifetime of caring for pets, I’m a biologist with years of experience in animal husbandry (including fish, reptiles, amphibians, & rodents). I am physically active and live an area of Grønland with a large, private dog yard. I am very accommodating to the rules and requests of other dog owners and am happy to work with you to make sure your dog(s) have a great & safe time while away from home!

James did a great job for us. We have three dogs who are very energetic and need a lot of attention. James met them a few days ahead of his drop in visits to get to know them and made us feel very comfortable leaving them in his care. We recommend him highly.

James did an outstanding job! Had my two dogs for 3 days and sent pictures every day keeping me informed how they were doing! Highly recommend James to keep your loved ones!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very cautious when it comes to having pets off-leash, meeting other dogs, etc. My apartment complex has a large, fenced, and private dog yard, which is great for introducing dogs, and also where I usually take mine for bathroom breaks.

Information James E. would like to know about your pet

The main questions I will ask are: How well do they get along with other dogs? Are they completely house trained? Are they comfortable being left alone for short periods of time? Are they known to chew on anything they shouldn't (shoes, socks, furniture, etc.)? Do they have a specific schedule they like to stick to (early morning walks, bed by 9, etc.)?

A typical day

I'm amenable to all sorts of activities – my dog Lulu is lazy, so she's happy to lay around most of the day, but she also loves going for walks and hiking around Ekebergparken nearby. When it's just us, we normally go on 1-3 walks a week, but otherwise, we just hang out in the private yard behind my apartment 2-3 times a day for about 30 minutes, where we run, play, sniff, and socialize.
