Availability
NOTE: I am not usually available very "short nice" such as an evening request for the next day, or a morning request for that afternoon. Since I'm semi-retired, I'm home some days. Although I sometimes spend time on the computer or doing tasks around the house, I have plenty of time to spend with your dog! Whether playing or just hanging out with me while I watch some TV, your dog will get plenty of attention!

About James L.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a ½ acre yard, with a 4' fenced-in area, but I still usually would have your dog on-leash when I take him outside for potty time. My neighborhood is quiet, great for walks, short or longer! The household is quiet - no kids, just older adults.
Home
Information James L. would like to know about your pet
I'd of course want to know if there are any special needs, medicines to give, feeding times and detail (esp. for overnights). It's always useful to get some info on how your dog 'signals' that he/she needs to go out! :-) I prefer to look after somewhat more mellow dogs, dogs that are naturally friendly to new people ... I always say if a dog just wants to give 'hugs and kisses' when meeting new people, that's a great dog! :-)
A typical day
For a low-energy or low-exercise dog, walking around my yard every few hours (½ acre) is an option; longer walks in the quiet neighborhood if your dog needs more walk time. If the dog is playful, I have some toys - balls, tug-of-war toys, etc. "Couch potatoes" welcome too :-) ... if your dog just likes to snuggle up or lie down (or nap) while I watch TV, or sit by my side while I'm on the computer, and get a few belly rubs and is affectionate and likes to give kisses, I'm comfortable with that!

Loving day-care in quiet household!
Pet care experience
I have done (and still do occasionally) some volunteer short-term fostering for two local rescue agencies. I owned a dog for many years when I lived up North. I love pets and feel that my quiet home would be a great place for when you need short-term care for your dog! I prefer dogs that are friendly to new people and used to "meeting" new people readily (such as me or a visitor). I sometimes say, "if he greets new people with kisses, that's a friendly dog!"
Reviews
James was professional, kind, flexible and easy to communicate with. He treated Phoebe like she was one of his own and that made her and myself extremely comfortable. I plan to rebook in the future. Thanks again for everything😊
James is very Responsive and my dog loves to go there.
