Pet care experience

Reliable pet care you can trust

I’ve worked with animals all my life, from their learning years to their golden years as seniors. I have worked with clicker/positive reinforcement training, which I am happy to work on with your dog as well. I have also previously owned or cared for fish, birds, even a hedgehog. I even cared for someone’s goat for a while! I have a passion for animals and enjoy training, playing with, and just getting to know your four-legged friends. Note that with dog sitting, I will stay at overnight at your place if that’s needed, but I have to leave throughout the day for other walks/visits from 6am-3pm depending on clients I have booked. I won’t leave your pet alone for more than 4 hours and your dog will get 3 walks a day while I sit them.

Continues to be a great choice to watch our dog while we are out of town! I’m glad that I can finally relax on a getaway instead of worrying every second about my puppy!!

James did an amazing job! I could see Angel was very happy to have someone visit and give her the meds. Love the pictures. Will definitely recommend for next time.

This is a second time James helped us with our kittie. He is very reliable and punctual, and our girl likes him. Will definitely hire again.
