Pet care experience

Animals have been my passion for over 20 years. Since leaving the military I have worked in a variety of places that have only increased my knowledge and love for all kinds of animals. I spent 18 months in the Humane Society, then worked as a Emergency Room Veterinary Technician (or nurse) for 2.5 years before deciding to go back to school to become a Veterinarian. While pursuing this dream I have worked an additional 3 years as a Veterinary Technician giving me 7 years professional experience taking care of dogs and other animals. I have worked with animals ranging from mice to falcons, while maintaining my love for cats and dogs. I have just finished my first year in Vet School, am comfortable with dogs with all types of needs and I am flexible to whatever you feel that your pet would like to be comfortable. I am happy to send you updates or accommodate different types of schedules. Thank you for considering me - please feel free to contact me with any questions.

James is great with my Bichon, Lucy. She responds well to him and looks forward to his visits!

James is just the best with my pups. He is so good with my special needs dog, with the perfect amount of patience for her to come out of her shell. The right amount of energy for my golden puppy, and my older black lab. They all just love when he comes to visit and I would highly recommend him!

I highly recommend Jamie as someone to help with your pets of any kind. We currently have 3 dogs and one cat. One of our dogs is wary of new people because she was abused as a puppy. He should incredible amounts of patience in winning her trust. Plus he is attending vet school & worked for years as a vet tech. If you are looking for someone to be an excellent addition to those caring for your pet family, Jamie should be it.

Information James L. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with as little or as much information you are willing to provide, I am a professional who can read dogs very well. I am happy to help socialize nervous or anxious dogs as well as romp around with playful and high-energy dogs. Breeds and size are of no concern to me due to my well-rounded background.

A typical day

My usual routine would start with following all of your instructions and requests, then taking your dog out on an enjoyable walk with plenty of play and affection during my time with them.
