Pets love me I enrich their lives!

Pet care experience

I have a BarK dog park membership!! (more below) I've had dogs in my home since I was 7 and was tasked with their walks and training. I'm very active so my dogs have a lot of enriched exploring and exercise. I've trained a 70 lb lab (Bel) to follow me for miles on trails, to catch Frisbees from the air, and to come on command! I now have an 8 month siberian husky (Tessa). I am training her to jump through literal hoops, run agility courses, and run along side my bike rides for extra exercise (huskys need it) All this with only treats, praise and regular patient consistency. With my BarK membership (it's like dog Disney world) a guest dog visit is only a few dollars, if approved I prefer to only take a client's pet there for the fun after a few comfortable days with me first, and use an extra collar of mine to assure I keep them easily monitored and safely back home.

James was amazing! My dogs loved him and he went out of his way to make sure they were safe. We actually had tornadoes here in STL while he was checking in on them. He waited till the weather had passed and then went over late at night to make sure they were ok. I will definitly use James again!

James was great with our pointers. He sent pics and updates while we were out. The dogs were happy to see us upon returning, but clearly had been comfortable and relaxed in our absence. We will book again if in the area. Thanks James!

Information James O. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know if your dog has any special needs, meds, dietary needs to keep up with or monitor! I'll do my best to accommodate or be honest if I can not.

A typical day

1 mile walks immediately in the morning with my coffee, followed by some treat reward and training if they're feeling it, and additionally/alternatively some toy play and enrichment. I live 4 blocks from Jefferson barracks Park and it's disc golf courses. On nice days with an obedient doggo we'll head there in the afternoon for some wooded trail exploring. And evening walk is also typical with active dogs.

I am a circus artist and entertainer by nights and weekends when the work is available. I spend most week days free at home honing my skill set and arranging bookings. Therefore plenty of time to head out for walks, or break and enrich a dog's day with playtime.
