Pet care experience

Kind, Capable & Dependable

I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, and for over 10 years, I’ve had the joy of caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. At home, I currently care for two large dogs and a couple of cats—though at one point, we had up to five rescue animals under one roof! One of our dogs came to us with both medical and behavioral challenges, so I’m very comfortable providing specialized care, including giving medications (oral and injectable) and working with pets who have specific training needs or require a bit more patience and understanding.

James was absolutely wonderful with my three dogs! He's the first walker who managed to bring all three of them to the door together, calmly and in control. That's no small feat! On top of that, he handled an unexpected and upsetting situation with my neighbor with complete composure and professionalism. I was truly impressed. My dogs were happy and well cared for; I'm looking forward to booking him again. Highly recommend James to anyone, especially multi-dog households!

James is fantastic with our dogs! He’s punctual, friendly, and has a natural ability to make them feel comfortable right away. He follows directions perfectly and pays attention to every detail. We always feel at ease knowing our pups are in great hands. I’d highly recommend James or his wife to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care!

James has an instinct with dogs. He's warmed up to my chihuahua quickly and that is saying something!

So far so good! We are going on vacation in the spring and we need a new dog sitter. Since we have an apprehensive Chihuahua, we want to get him well established with her before we leave. 🤣
