Chill Home for Little Dogs

My little buddy passed away last year and while I'm not ready for another full time dog companion, I'd love to host some visitors during the daytime. I'm a lifelong dog lover and was a dedicated dog dad to a sweet Puggle for 13 years, including the final 2+ of years of managing his kidney disease. I'm also the go-to dog sitter for family and friends. I work from home in a chill environment and am open to hosting small dogs. I have an enclosed backyard and live in a great area for safe neighborhood walks.

James has a natural gift for connecting with animals. Our dog is very skittish around most people but wags up a storm when she sees him! I HIGHLY recommend James as a caregiver.

I can say with absolute certainty that James is a dog lover through and through. He's taken care of our 60-pound rescue many times and somehow managed to cope with all of her quirks every time — so much so that she now gets excited when we take her over to his place. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend James to another dog owner. We love him, and our dog loves him, too!

Schedule

I work at a computer all day and appreciate frequent breaks for belly rubs, head scratches, walks or backyard play breaks. Depending on individual needs, walks can be short and frequent or longer excursions to burn off energy.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs can choose dog beds, furniture or blankets on the floor. I will be home with them at all times and I have a fenced backyard for longer outdoor breaks. I will only be hosting 2 or 3 dogs at a time so they will have my full attention.
