James and his dog were so sweet with my Briggy! He asks all necessary questions and will keep you up to date during your dog’s stay. We’ll definitely book again!

James was great! Penny had a great time with his dog Tallulah. Great fenced yard and overall a great guy! We are happy we found him. We will certainly be using him again.

James was perfect! Was very attentive to messages and had a great relationship with the dogs! He even sent pictures while he had them. 10/10 would recommend.

James took wonderful care of our dog Maya over a five day long weekend. He has a backyard with a deck and when I arrived to pick her up, she greeted me but went back to her spot on the deck and would have been happy to stay, I think! James sent a photo and video when I texted to see how she was doing and that was reassuring. We have another weekend away scheduled in the next couple of months and plan to ask James to take care of her then, so I would recommend him highly. He has a super friendly dog and she was good company for Maya.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard with that’s mostly shaded by surrounding trees. With easy access from a back deck. We also have a screened in porch for good airflow on hotter days. I live in a nice and walkable neighborhood and I regularly visit local walking/hiking trails in the area.

Pets

A typical day

I will bring dogs out into nature to make sure they are stimulating their minds and bodies with lots of things to sniff and fresh air. We will head to many nature parks. Some may be fenced in where we can play fetch if that’s part of your dogs normal routine. With permission and we will head to places with water as well, from rivers to beaches. And when we get back I have a large back yard and a back deck for dogs to hang out and either relax in the shade or sun bath.
