I am home with the pets all day. Unless of course I go to the store. I occasionally will take dogs with me to run errands.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in Mountain View. Born and raised here in the Bay Area, I remember what the good old days were like. Long gone are the days where orchards were everywhere and people actually had backyards……or are they!? Yes, pretty much. BUT they’re not all gone. There is still one in Mountain View and I happen to be living at it. Not only am I conveniently located, I have a spacious backyard that is completely fenced in. In addition to that, I also have an orchard that I have cleaned up which extends the area and allows dogs to run further and faster in the open air.

Information James G. would like to know about your pet
I think it’s important to understand temperament. Especially around other dogs. I would like to know that they are housetrained. If they have any medical issues and; if so, the medication they may be taking along with instruction and contact information for their veterinarian. If they have special dietary needs. What the rules are at home regarding furniture or any commands they should be given.
A typical day
I have a spacious backyard and orchard with lots of trees. Lots of trees of course means lots of squirrels to chase as they jump from tree to tree or run along the fence. The orchard has been covered with mulch which not only cuts down on mud and dust, but it also Helps to protect dog paws when they run. I have been known to take them shopping with me to either Lowe or Home Depot, and even Petco to name a few. They love going inside and the staff enjoy seeing them!

Pet care experience
Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks? I learn something new from dogs all the time. Since I was a kid, dogs have always been an integral part of my life. It has an only been what I can teach them but it’s what they have taught me. Although I’m not fluent, I’m working on it. So far I understand: OPEN OUT WALK THROW GO PLAY POTTY THIRSTY HUNGRY TREAT/COOKIE SLEEP/BED WHO HERE? WE HOME NO LEAVE ME ATTENTION NOW I know I’m a good boy when i get lots of licks. If I’m not sure, they reassure me with their paw. When I’m a bad boy, I get to clean up their messes. So...you see? You really can teach an old dog new tricks! (shaking my butt) OK thatTOTALLY wouldn’t be as awkward sounding if I had a tail.
Reviews
James is an incredible dog sitter! He is very careful about the dynamics between dogs, and manages a group with ease. He sent two hilarious(!) AI videos of our two dogs telling us how their stay was going. The dogs came back clean and happy. They had Easter bandanas on, and were exhausted by the fun stay with new friends. I could not recommend James enough- he really made the occassion joyful!
Our dog Cookie is very well look after by James. James really loves dogs and looks after all his dogs well. We highly recommend James. He even has gifts and stockings for each dog he looks afret over Christmas break. He sends good photos and videos over the stay which helps to see how your dog is doing over the stay. All in all the best care for our Cookie as we travel internationally.
another great "vacation " for Jessie while we were away!
Always the most incredible! Thank you so much!
