Availability
I work mostly from home, so I can easily stick to your dog’s routine — walks, playtime, cuddles and naps. Please let me know if any special requirements ahead of time. I can let you know my experience with particular quirks and requirements of any pet to ensure you are happy for me to take care of them. My home is dog-friendly, safe, and clean, with a fenced garden and plenty of space to run, relax, or play. Whether your dog loves long walks, gentle play, or cozy naps, they’ll feel right at home.

Information James K. would like to know about your pet
🐶 Before Your Dog’s Stay To make their stay smooth, I like to know: • Their daily routine (meals, walks, naps, play) • Any medical needs, allergies, or meds • How they get along with dogs, people, or new places • Behaviour quirks (barking, chewing, separation anxiety, etc.) • Commands or training cues they know • House rules or routines you want me to follow The more I know, the better I can make your dog feel happy, safe, and loved — just like at home!
A typical day
I take the dogs for walks around the park opposite my house, along the river to Sonning or sometimes to the chiltern hills. When at home I love to play in the garden with the dogs and rest on the sofa with them in an evening.

Your Dog’s Home Away from Home 🐾
Pet care experience
🐾 About Me Dogs are a huge part of my life, and over the past 5 years I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience through dog sitting and boarding dogs of all shapes, sizes and needs. I have experience with energetic puppies under 1 year old and older dogs with established routines and personalities. Feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable away from home has become part of everyday life for me. I also grew up with a big, goofy Golden Retriever and helped raise a playful Cockapoo puppy during Covid, which gave me early experience with puppy care and training. Since then, dog boarding and sitting has become something I genuinely love, and I’m lucky to now have several regular pups I look after regularly.
Reviews
Took great care of my boy during the heatwave; keeping him cool and safe. Good communication throughout.
Absolute legend. Lenny had the most amazing time and never has he been less excited to see me as he clearly had such a nice time with his new family...
I would highly recommend James if you are looking for a trustworthy person who will treat your dog as his own. I’ve had full confidence in his ability to look after my dog (especially that he is high energy breed). Upon collection Bruce looked healthy and happy after the week as he bonded with James. Definitely would reach out again in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
James was great and took time to understand Hachi's needs and how everything should all work best for him. Hachi was happy upon pick up and we will hopefully see James again soon! Happy dog 🐕!
