Highlights
Pet care experience
Huge Backyard, Loving Care, & Walks
I am a very active person, and I would be more than happy to walk your loving dog, multiple times a day. I also have my own backyard which is basically a private dog park now :), (see pictures). I have 4+ Years Volunteer work in Dog shelters, working with Dogs to be rehomed ♥️, when I lived out in California. I am now settled in Maryland. I am around to take care of your Doggo pretty much all day/ everyday when boarding, and only take on one clients dog(s) at a time, so the only contact with other dogs they will have is my dogs Xena & Rogue. I do drop ins for other pet parents around my local area, so I will be in an out but usually never gone more than 1 or 2 hours at a time, and back home between visits. I have worked with many dogs that have social anxiety issues, and reactive dogs, I have a seperate living space in my basement if your Pup prefers not to be to be in contact with my Dogs Xena & Rogue, Otherwise they will stay in the main house with me, Xena, Rogue and my Husband Alex. I am always happy to do a meet and greet before any bookings are made to show you around my property and for your dog to meet mine. I am available to be booked for Walks and / or drop ins for your pets aswell for the local area near me. For an additional fee which can be selected in the booking process, I am able to bathe your Pup, using sensitive skin dog shampoo & conditioner, towel & Blow dried the day before or day of pick up, I have a Special Dog Bath and grooming tools for this purpose.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
James is great and I highly recommend. Lost power due to a storm and he went above and beyond.
James was absolutely wonderful for check-ins with our two high energy pups! He’s super communicative, and sends awesome and detailed updates, pictures, etc. Would highly recommend. <3
James is fantastic! He is very dependable, caring, and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and loved all the attention. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!
Wonderful gentleman. My fur babies were well taken care of.
Absolutely wonderful sitter! I am always highly anxious about leaving my cats behind when I travel, but James’s very thorough report cards and photos made me significantly less anxious about them. The cats loved him and I returned home to 2 happy kitties ☺️
Highly recommend! Super responsible and reliable dog walker. They always provide detailed updates with lots of pictures, which really gives me peace of mind while I’m away. They followed all of my instructions carefully and were very attentive to my dogs’ needs and routines. You can tell they genuinely care about the pets they work with. Thank you so much for the wonderful care!

Schedule
My schedule, usually I am pretty much around all the time at my home when I am boarding a doggo. I may go out for 1 or 2 hours at a time to do drop-ins/walks for some clients in my local area, but I come straight home after & between visits.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home I do have 2 friendly dogs, Xena, an older girl who is very used to the flow of dogs that stay here with me, and a new addition Rogue. My husband Alex adopted Rogue a 4-5 year old mix, while he was stationed in Germany, she was well socialized in her foster home with several other dogs before he adopted her. The neighborhood is quiet, and a great area to walk your dog aswell. As for drop ins, I am always very respectful of people homes, give detailed updates and numerous photos. If there is any confusion in regards to care instructions, I will ask for clarification.
Pets
A typical day
My typical day consists of a morning and evening walk with my dogs, and the dog(s) I board with, usually my husband will walk with me on the evening walks, as he works at ft Meade during the day. An afternoon walk too, dependant on the weather, in the summer I omit the afternoon walk and opt for extra yard time due to the heat. I am happy to just utilize my yard if your pup has some issues with going on walks. I love spending time In my yard and the pups usually do too. When I leave the house, it is usually no more than 1-2 hours tops.
