Located on Central Park West!!

Pet care experience

I am a responsible, active and caring dog lover. I live in a beautiful loft with my girlfriend on Central Park West so walks will always be fun and exciting. My girlfriend and I are both fun, energetic, young professionals. We both work in Midtown so unfortunately we can’t do Rover during the week, but both love dogs so much and want the responsibility/stress relief that dogs provide on the weekends! I grew up with a dog who was a diabetic, had a heart murmur and arthritis so I have a lot of experience giving medication of any type including insulin with a syringe. Currently, my family has a dog named Baxter who lives back in NJ with my parents. I worked from home when he was a puppy so I have experience with training and a lot of messy cleanups! I will do everything to make sure your pup is comfortable and happy in my home. Air conditioning will be on all day (during the summer), a lot of playtime and belly rubs. Also, you can expect daily pictures/videos to ensure you that your dog is being cared for properly (and maybe a bit spoilt!)

Jamie did a wonderful job dog sitting our guy. He was super accessible via the phone and provided many updates and pictures throughout our dog's stay. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend.

James was so good with my Molly, he is responsive and caring. I normally worry when I leave her with someone, but my trip was worry free! I will be calling James when ever I need a dog sitter!

James took great care of my dog while I was on vacation. I highly recommend and look forward to using him again in the future.

We have had many doggie sitter's over the years and found James to be among the best! James focused on caring for and loving our pups and met their needs in fine fashion. He has a natural calmness that didn't seem to overwhelm the dogs and that was great for our older pups. He is knowledgeable and has a well-educated understanding of caring for dogs especially in our hot weather. He provided plenty of exercise for them and let them nap as much as they wanted. Our two little Shih-Tzu's were comfortable and didn't show any sign of stress under his care. I don't think they missed us at all! His upper-floor apartment does use an elevator but our dogs were familiar with that and the area around his building has very nice sidewalks, grassy and gravel areas for good walking. Highly recommend his care to your dog.
