Pet care experience

Dog walker and play buddy

I love to go on long walks, give lots of love, and always up to meet new pups. I have two dogs at home in Michigan, a Bernese Mountain Dog and Black Lab and know how much they love and value long walks and playtime. Now that I live in the Bay and see dogs everywhere, I think about my dogs back in Michigan and want to help anyone out who needs support playing or walking their pups!

I have known James for at least 20 years. He grew up in a loving home with pets his entire life. I have found him to be a responsible and caring person. I know he is missing his family pets and would love to have the opportunity to care for your pet like it is his own.

I highly recommend James to help with your beloved pet. I have known James many years. He is honest , reliable and loves animals. He is very experienced and comfortable with dogs of all types. He has experience with very large dogs as well. He has cared for my dogs over the years and his family has had many dogs. I know he is sensitive to dogs personalities and will be a great friend to your pets.

James has been walking my two large dogs together for years. Ozy my Berner and Clara my black lab. James is confident and reliable with animals and has great common sense. James has a natural way with animals and is thoughtful in anticipating my pets needs. I was sad that he moved as he was my favorite house sitter too. James is fit often walking my younger dog 3 miles each day always bringing them home clean and filling water etc. He has great intuition and the kindest heart.

Schedule

I’m currently between jobs, love walking around the city and figure I take a puppy with me on walks around the Marina and Pac Heights. I am free after 3pm on weekdays and before 11am on weekends for a walk or “woofs” as I call it! If your pup needs a walk and needs someone to play with, feel free to reach out!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

James can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dogs have any special preferences or needs that I can account for. My preference is first for big dog breeds such as Bernese, Labs, Golden Retriever, Newfoundland, etc but open to all dogs friends!
