Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker and sitter
Five years of looking after my own Springador - with daily play, long walks, runs, and grooming. As well has having walked a number of friends' dogs when they've been on holiday, or sick. I have extensive experience of exercising with dogs at all speeds and energy levels. For a number of years we have attended, and assisted with the training at, our local Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Training Club where we have completed all the levels through to Gold and helped other dog owners with their own training.

Safety, trust & environment
Due to the presence of other animals, I do not have the ability to house other people's dogs in my own home (beyond exceptional circumstances). I am happy to visit your dog in your home if requested. I can visit to have a play, feed and toilet as required. I can generally administer any medication as required too.
Ratings and reviews
James has been walking my working Sheep dog Foxy since February 2026 once or twice a week and has been very reliable and on time every time. James is very trustworthy and Foxy is very well cared for when she is out with him and Foxy just adores him and is very happy to see him when he comes to collect her.
James absolutely loves spending time with our dog, particularly taking him for long walks or runs. Chester is a high energy Spaniel who needs a lot of attention and James has spent a huge amount of time training him so he is a well behaved and happy dog who adores spending time with James!

Schedule
Currently between other jobs, so am available to walk dogs at most times of the day. Morning walks, midday leg stretchers, and evening toilet strolls. I run with my own dog most days of the week and can easily schedule these things around each other.
