I'm really lucky to work hybrid and flexibility 90% of my week. I am more than happy to work with parents to ensure that any alone time is limited and that their dog has the best stay possible.

Information James H. would like to know about your pet

Whilst I do work from home, I like to be in and out the house with family and sport important to me. Dogs I look after are preferred to be able to be left for a few hours. Please let me know in advance if they struggle when alone or do not sleep through the night.

A typical day

A typical day lodgers day would starts off with a quick walk around the block before breakfast, then a chill before a lunchtime walk in the park. On an evening I like to mix up our walks, heading to the beach, river walks (via my favourite pub), visiting dog loving family or we might venture back into the park. At the weekend we love to explore! Getting amongst the trees, strolling through the meadows, getting caked in mud and all tired out. You can certainly expect to get your doggo back all walked out! During the Summer, James loves to take the dogs to the Lakes for a real adventure, bagging some Wainwrights along the way!

Pet care experience

Experienced dog‑lover returning to Rover after some time away. I previously cared for a Spaniel of my own and have years of hands‑on experience with energetic, affectionate breeds. I offer a calm home, long walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I’m reliable, communicative and always send regular updates so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Pet First Aid trained and confident with a range of temperaments — your dog will be in safe, caring hands.

James took great care of disco and sent us regulars updates. He took him on long walks around the country park which he loved and made sure he had is medication every day. I’d encourage anyone who needs a hands on sitter to book with James. ☺️

James has been a great help walking my Mirrie for me. She can be quite a nervous around new people yet she warmed to James very quickly. James was patient and attentive with Mirrie which she needs as she has a lot of energy and requires a lot of attention. I have rebooked James for the future. Thank you

James was excellent from the point of requesting a booking. Great communication, daily photos, and Juneau loved her stay. Thank you!

James looked after Kobi really well on day care. Kobi had lots of fun in James,s garden with another little fur baby. We would definitely use James again in the near future.
