I will provide a laid back atmosphere for your dog. There will be plenty of opportunities to go outside or just lay around and rest if they prefer. Typical day depends on the activity level of your dog. I’m happy to be active with them outside if they enjoy playing or just sit with them and relax if they prefer.

It was the first time that I have used Rover with my new puppy. I had anxiety. Lucy did well and was taken care of. Lucy is a very sweet girl and has good manners in the house. Because of a fall with a fractured rib and a broken hand , Lucy’s behavior on a leash is not up to speed. Jim picked her up for me before I left on my trip and he was flexible with the timing of my return. Amtrak had a major delay and I missed my connecting trains. Jim was great letting her stay later than I expected. I would have liked seeing more pictures of my fur baby. Thank you Jim

I'm so glad I found Jim to take care of my dog while I was away, I felt confident that he was in good care! Jim sent photos and videos of him every day so I could see what he was up to and that he was having a great time! My dog can be dominant over other dogs but I was relieved to know with Jim's dog trainer background that he would be able to handle any issues. My dog was well taken cared for, got plenty of exercise, and socialized with other dogs, definitely would recommend!

We had a great boarding experience with James. Very flexible, even on a holiday. Sent videos and pictures each day and our pup came home very happy. Highly recommend!
