I love walks almost as much as dogs
Pet care experience
I am a full time doctoral student and part time college instructor. This gives me a good balance of organization, responsibility, and flexibility in terms of my schedule. I don’t currently have a dog, but grew up with them in my house and have always wanted to be around them. Whenever a friend or family member is away and looking for a pet sitter, I am first in line! I know that your dog is a member of the family, so I take seriously my responsibility to keep them safe. If you pick me, your pup and I will explore the quieter streets of your neighborhood and do our best to find any nearby parks where we can stretch our legs in a run through the open fields. Young or old, big or small, your dog will come home from our walk both tired out and very happy!
Reviews
James was awesome! He responded immediately to my last minute request to walk my dog when I realized I'd have to stay at work late. James was patient with my dog while he warmed up to him and took him for a long walk/run with a nice update Afterward! Go with James for sure!
I’m so thankful for James! I needed someone to watch Harley for the day originally and when my scheduled changed, James was completely accommodating! He sent me pictures of her during his visit and took her on a nice long walk. I would definitely rebook James again!!
I've known James for many years as a friend, but my partner and I were also lucky to have him offer to look after our Dumpling for us while we were away on vacation. We knew that James would take great care of our little guy, and that Dumpling was sure to get tons of playtime and attention. James is outgoing and personable with both people and their furry companions, he is always on top of everything, and he is incredibly kind. I'm positive he would give nothing but fantastic care to any and all of your dog family members.
James was wonderful with my poodle and spent three hours walking him when I mentioned that he was very high-energy. When I got home, Oliver (my poodle) was happily sleeping after his big day out. I wholeheartedly recommend James!
