Dog Lover with 40 years Experience

Dogs have been a part of my life since I can remember. With the recent passing of my lovable black lab, and my retirement, I found myself with time on my hands and my heart seeking time with dogs. I have a flexible schedule, can do morning, midday or evening visits/walks and have the ability to board at my home. I’m looking forward to connecting with your lovable dog and share my love with them.

Dog Walking • Jun 16, 2026

James was absolutely fantastic with my dog. He walked him, fed him, made sure he felt comfortable, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the visit. Sherman is a large, high energy dog and James handled him with ease. It can be stressful being away from your dog, but James completely eased my mind. He was reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly took the time to make my dog feel safe and comfortable. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for someone trustworthy. Thank you, James!

Kames is Amaz8ng! We had James dog sit and stay over with our 2 dogs. Very timely with day drop ins. They got to play, cuddle and he talks so sweet to them! This really helped me relax and enjoy vacation knowing that they would be happy and not be sad since they lost their dog sister just 3 weeks before we left. He constantly sent updates and photos too.

We had a great experience with James! He was punctual, responsive, and did an amazing job with our dog, Kody. Kody is a big, energetic dog and not always the easiest to handle, but James handled him confidently and with care. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing Kody was in good hands. Highly recommend James and would absolutely book with him again!

James was awesome. Cooper was very calm when I returned home and that was a clear sign that he was well cared for and comfortable James kept me posted with texts and pics. I would highly recommend James and will definitely be using him again.
