Information James J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if pets have any special needs, how many pee breaks they need, or if they have any bad habits i.e. chewing up hats and shoes.

I like to stimulate dogs on their daily walks with adventures to interesting places, parks and other sites in their neighborhood. I also enjoy playing games with them they are interested in.

Pet care experience

Located in North Hollywood/Valley Village. I make sure you and your pup(s) get the best care possible!I have experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from shy Chihuahuas to over-affectionate Leonbergers. I have been dog sitting regularly the last few years via word-of-mouth, and decided to share my profile here to spend more quality time with pups across the city. I send frequent photo updates and give owners updates on their pets. I'm in LA most of the year and in SF over Christmas. I usually go by Jay or JJ but Rover makes me use my legal name.

James was great during our 4-day away from our fur babies. He provided daily updates with photos and was always very communicative and kind. We highly recommend him and can’t wait to hire him again!

Neville seemed well cared for! James sent us daily updates and was extremely responsive when we reached out. He was friendly and we would use him again.
