Can't get enough doggy time!

Pet care experience

I grew up with two fuzzy buddies. I don't have any dogs of my own right now but that means I can give my full attention to your furry friend! I am pretty good at working on training and enforcing any rules or practices that you have in your own home.

James did an excellent job. I left some specific instructions about the water feeder, pickup and dropoff of the key, and he followed them to the T. Would definitely book James again!

Safety, trust & environment

Typically, I will check in with you and see what your pet likes to do! I am fine with dog parks and know a few good options, but also happy to keep it to local walks. I am also happy to do early and late walks with pets who don't do well with others. I prefer not to care for pets where there will be roommates or housemates present due to potential confusion and to ensure I respect everyone's boundaries.

Information James H. would like to know about your pet

Please tell us about your dog's: - Allergies? - Behavior challenges? - Motivation? - Favorite types of play? - Medical and exercise needs? - House rules? - Any other important information?

A typical day

On the weekends I like to go on hikes or walks to the state or local parks, weather permitting. During the week, I typically would do a mile neighborhood loop or trip to a local park, more or less, depending on your dog's needs. I do house sitting, but only for up to 3 days at a time.
