Please let me know ahead of time if you pet has any special needs or behaviors that need extra attention. I will do my best to accommodate your pets needs.

A typical day

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.

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my puppy, Ebony. She stayed with this wonderful family for 11 days, and the care they gave her truly touched my heart. They sent me pictures every single day, which gave me such peace knowing she was happy, safe and loved. Ebony enjoyed their spacious yard, made friends with their dogs, and even felt comfortable enough to sleep on the back of one of them, something I never expected, but absolutely adored. The whole family welcomed her as if she were their own. Knowing I have a sitter I can trust completely means the world to me. Ebony had an amazing time, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention they gave her.

Very grateful I found James to take care of Carl, especially on relatively short notice. He accommodated my schedule needs which was very helpful and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Carl's stay. Most importantly, I think Carl loved it. He's exhausted from all of the outside time and lots of play time. While Carl is happy to be home I'm sure he'll be excited to go back to James the next time I have to leave town.

Wonderful boarding experience! Polly was so happy to be welcomed right into Jim’s family with all the snuggles and play time her heart could desire. Jim was super flexible as this was a last minute request after other boarding arrangements fell through and we really appreciated it (bonus: we found our new go-to sitter)!
