Pet care experience

Rain or shine, your dog is always welcome at mine

I have always been a lover of dogs, as a child, I grew up with 3 Labradors and always played with them. Although, I haven't had a dog for some years, I have had rabbits (Scooter and Wizard) and even a parrot (Chopstix, who stays with my parents). I always take the opportunity to see my friends' dogs and play with them like a child the park no matter the weather. I am so eager that my friends have asked me to walk their dogs when they have other commitments, knowing that I will not refuse unless I have to. I am always willing do spend time with a fluffy friend and rest assured they are in good hands with me - I lose all pride when a dog is nearby!

James is great, always prompt with communication and so helpful when I had train issues which delayed drop off. Frank had a great time, and thinks James is one of his new best friends.

James took great care of our cockapoo, Daphne. We received plenty of photos and Daphne was super happy and tired when we picked her up. James was very responsive and super helpful. Would 100% book again! Thank you James

James was brilliant with Huxley; not phased by any characteristics and confident, evident from his experience with other dogs. Huxley seemed really content and well looked after. Communication was great, from booking to pick up. Fast responses and photos shared from their day. Would definitely recommend and book again. Thanks James 😊

Schedule

I work from home most of the time with usually one or two days in the office (days are usually either Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays). I am quite an outgoing person so I love to work from the cafe and go for walks during the day and would love the company of your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is in an apartment with a gated car parking area with grass which is perfect for a quick run around and potty break. We have plenty of local parks near by - ideal for letting your dog have a run and play! My apartment is spacious enough for your dog to roam around and plenty of space for even the most energetic dogs to play!

A typical day

When working from home I usually work from my home or cafes. I like to go out for walks a lunch and after work too. There are plenty of parks nearby where your dog can be walked or (if you are comfortable) run around Nonsuch Park. I go to the gym after work and will try to avoid classes if I have your dog. In addition all the cafes I go to, offer water and treats for dogs and are more than happy have them inside. They will live a day in the life of James with no restrictions.

Let me know if there is any additional needs that I need to cater for ahead of your stay, I will be honest if there is a requirement that I have not come across before and if it is the case, then I am willing to learn how to cater for any needs too. A heads up on whether your dog gets on with other dogs would be a great too!
