I'm at home every evening.

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner for over 50 years (without interruption). I am an avid student of dog psychology and canine behavior. I have good energy with dogs and am able to analyze dog behaviors. I have a pool (in-ground) if your dog likes to swim, a fully fenced in back yard, for as much or little outside time as you wish. I will also take your dog for a walk, if you like. My chocolate lab is a big teddy bear, is not human or animal aggressive. If your dog is aggressive, it would not be a good match. We would introduce the dogs in my front year to gauge their energy and transition them into the house, where they will assimilate under my supervision. Your dog will be fed at the time you desire, and mine will be fed his normal time. The dogs will not be asked to dine at the same time. At night your dog can sleep on a doggy bed or if you prefer to kennel your dog, you bring a kennel. My dog typically sleeps in my room, next to my bed, but if they become pals they can share the living room. I'm really not much interested in sitting for unhousebroken dogs or dogs that chew. If you want a bit of training advice, I'll throw that in at no charge. I may be able to break your dog of a bad habit in your absence.

Tia really enjoyed the time spent at James’. I would not hesitate having her stay with James and Koda next time around. We usually leave Tia boarding a few days at a time; this time we were out for a week so I was a bit apprehensive about leaving her that long with someone new given that she gets pretty nervous and uneasy when she knows we’re ‘leaving’ her. However, it seems like Tia felt right at home at James’ from day one, which made me feel at ease. James made it a point to let Tia explore her new surroundings and come meet him when she was ready, making it a relaxed and positive environment for her from the start; even Koda, James’ dog, let Tia have her space and came to greet her once she was done ‘exploring’. Tia obviously had a wonderful happy week – I’m certain of it because, when we came to pick her, she did not bother to come to the door immediately like she always does (or did), we actually had to call her name a couple of times for her to come greet us. Thank you James!
