Experienced Veterinary professional

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals my entire life, from our family pets, to helping lambs on the local farms, to years of work as a veterinary technician, and full circle to teaching my kids these same skills. If you’re looking for an experienced veterinary professional to help look after your furry family while you’re away, you need look no further. I specialize in caring for pets with chronic medical conditions and multiple pet households.

I am so glad we went with James to watch our dogs! He was super friendly and is very educated with dogs and dog behavior. He is a natural! My dogs had fun staying with him and I had no worries about them staying there. We will definitely be booking again!

This was our 1st experience of sitting with James. He instantly took Artie for a walk to get him accustomed to his dog, and cared for Artie 8 hours.

James stayed with Remy over a four day period. He took her walks and car rides, came home to a happy pup!

Information James T. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any special needs for your pet; dietary restrictions, any medications, or ongoing medical issues I would need to be aware of. I’ve worked in the veterinary industry for the past 16 years, in general practice, emergency medicine and specialty medicine.

A typical day

We can play fetch, jog around the local park, go on hikes. I have a public park right around the corner from my house and 80 acres of woodland right on the back of the property. I have a flock of chickens (in a secure enclosure) for your dog to investigate and a 10 yr old border collie who has been around other animals in veterinary clinics for her whole life, she loves making new friends.
