Hi pet parents! James has taken great care of our pets over the years. He is very responsible and can be trusted to provide safe and loving care for your animals. He’ll come to your house for feeding and walking, or he will stay overnight if you need longer care. I’m sure you will like James, he’s friendly and outgoing..

Safety, trust & environment

When I go into a client's home I focus on the pet and what I need to do to take care of them. I let them know they can trust me. Dogs often act differently with folks other than their owners so I let them show me who they are. That way we can have a good time together.

A typical day

Dogs need stimulation so I like to get them out of the house as much as possible. We can explore their territory, whether that's the yard, block, or neighborhood. Or we can go on adventures at local creeks and parks.
