My dog, Blaze, is always exhausted after leaving James’! Thanks for taking great care of my boy!

Lemon and I had a great experience with James! Lemon, is a senior dog that I am fostering, so I was a little extra cautious about who I leave her with—but she was clearly comfortable and happy during her stay. She even made herself right at home by claiming James dog’s bed and kennel, which honestly says a lot about how safe she felt. James was very responsive and kept me updated with photos and videos, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing my girl was in good hands. I would definitely recommend him to others and would absolutely book with him again!

James is awesome. First time leaving my baby with someone and he made sure I was reassured the whole time. Will definitely book with him again.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet like family, creating a safe and calm environment whether I’m caring for them at your home or mine. I follow all instructions carefully, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they’re comfortable and secure at all times.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with your pet includes plenty of exercise, love, and fun. We might start with a walk exploring new trials and sniffing new scents. Then, some playtime with toys or gentle training exercises to keep their mind sharp. I make sure there’s plenty of rest, fresh water, and belly rubs throughout the day. I focus on making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved.
