Current King County clients will not be affected** Message me for pet trail adventures We focus on enriching Dog's lives by getting paws on the trails. Pet CPR trained and experienced caring for puppies through seniors. Small dogs and large dogs are welcome. Dog sitting schedule is informed by my primary job which is reflected in the price. Mon-Fri drop off and pick up time availability 6:00-9:00 PM. Saturday drop off and pick up is subject to schedule fluctuations, but typically from 8:00am - 8:00pm. Can be more accommodating with advanced notice of three or more days as this is our best opportunity to get paws on trails. Seriously, Shadow and I are obsessed with trails.

Ratings and reviews
James was great. It was comforting to know my fur babies were safe and happy as well as having a trusted person keep an eye on our home.
Rory had a great time and made some new friends. John was very responsive and sent lots of pictures. Would definitely use him again.
James is wonderful and Bëar had a great time with him during our time away. I highly recommend him.
We had a wonderful experience with James. He has a great process for new dog introductions. My pup was very happy after her walk with him.
Our doggos love spending time with James!
James was great and Momo loved spending time with him and the other dogs!

Schedule
I work full time outside of the home, but evenings and weekends are devoted to the dogs. Week days will be a focus on play with time outside to smell the grass. Weekends are for the trails. Some excursions will be day trips while others will be two or more days of backpacking. GPS tracking will be provided during trail adventures.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The yard is currently not fenced in, but retractable leashes are used to allow dogs to roam while remaining safe. Shadow and I predominately focus on trail adventures for your dog We remain happy to accept dog guests at home who acknowledge that the yard is not fenced and the visiting dog has demonstrated 100% recall. I am pet CPR trained, attentive, and caring.
Pets
A typical day
We have a yard large enough for fetch. Other games include hide and seek and tug of war. For dogs of a more mellow disposition, treat puzzles will be offered. (High energy dogs will also have this option.)
