Pet care experience

Firefighter that loves pets

My wife Carla and I feel so lucky to have jobs that we allow us to be home most of our time. Carla and I love nothing more than to spend our days with all types of dogs! We have loved/grew up with dogs since childhood and know that every dog is unique and requires a completely different approach, but the same amount of love and affection. -James & Carla

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is very cozy and dog friendly. There is lots of grassy areas to walk the dogs around and a nice fenced park in the building complex where the dogs love to run around. We have endless supplies of toys and treats for your pet so the fun never stops! We also offer baths/blow dry for $20 the day before your return(: We have a little one of ours named Simba! He is an 13 year old Bichon-poodle that is just oozing with charisma and happiness. He loves everyone and everything honestly. He's always looking forward to making new friends and loves people. We treat every dog like a family member of our own and he/she will be receiving love and attention through out the entire day, everyday. We have plenty of experience with administering all types of medication (Eye/Ear care, Weight control, Vitamins/Supplements, Obedience training and plenty more) We can't wait to meet your little guys/girls!

James and Carla were nothing short of phenomenal!!!! I have used many dog walkers over the years and I was blow away with their professionalism, compassionate care and thoughtfulness. I received lots of photos and videos in which my dog looked very happy in their company. I felt very confident he was being treated as a pet of their own. Thank you both for such a positive experience for both Sebastian and I. We will be using James and Carla for our dog sitting/walking needs in the future!

Our rescue dog has a lot of new family anxiety but she loved James! She walked further and did her business without difficulty. Absolutely recommend James! Will definitely use again!

I always have peace of mind knowing James is taking care of my dog, Nextel. He has always been really responsible, dependable, and professional. He does daily walks for Nextel and house sits for me when I go out of town. I know that I can go for as long as I need and Nextel is well taken care of.

James is very reliable and communicative. He has taken care of both my dogs on many occasions and I have always felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him. He is very good with dogs and has a lot of years of experience. I 100% trust James with my dog. He sends pictures and always keeps you in the loop. I highly recommend James!
