Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was 5. I have my own dog nala who I have had for 7.5 years. I have worked at Animal Rescue New Orleans since October 2019. I take care of the dogs and clean up after them while they are out on walks with our volunteers. I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments.
Reviews
James was very caring and attentive with my dogs. He even got my shy dog to love him. He kept me posted every day. Definitely would recommend him - he genuinely loves dogs!
James was wonderful! My dog threw him some behavioral curveballs and he handled them graciously and efficiently.
Our family was recently in need of a dog walker while my father was recovering from a major surgery. We were referred to James by a family friend and could not have been happier with his support. His experience working in a shelter with a wide range of dog breeds clearly showed when James met Annabelle (a large mix rescue) who, in her earlier years previous to being rescued, had suffered a great deal abuse and neglect. His mild, calming demeanor helped solidify trust between he and Annabelle (as well as our family) almost instantly, which is rare for Annabelle. Throughout the 3-4 weeks stint of working with James, he was extremely respectful and communicative and bonded with Annabelle very well to the point she would get excited when he showed up for the multiple daily walks/feedings. His understanding of various people and pet personalities makes him a great fit for anyone looking for a trusted dog sitter who cares about your pets needs as much as you do.
James has watched our two dogs countless times and always does an AMAZING job. One of our dogs is elderly and the other is very high energy and he manages both of their needs well. We always leave knowing that our dogs are in great hands but the best part is knowing he's going to give them plenty of love. James is a true animal lover and leaving our dogs with him is such a comfort!

I have my own crate if the dogs needs a crate. Nala (my dog) is accepting of most animals and if she isn't then she gets to hang out in the bedroom by herself . My focus is on taking care of your pets. I don't have a yard but I am 5 blocks from city park and am happy to take your loved ones on long walks there.

Information James N. would like to know about your pet
I love any and all breeds. I just need to know if they do well with other dogs or not. Even if they don't do well with other dogs I can separate my dog from your pet.
A typical day
I live a few blocks form City park so we can go on plenty of walks there. I have excessive amounts of treats and toys for them to play with. And I have all the attention in the world to give them.

Due to COVID I am only working 3 days a week at the animal shelter. I am free pretty much all the time. The longest I am away from home is on Fridays from 1-9 at the shelter. My other 2 shifts are 4 hours long at most.
