Friendly Dog Lover for House Sitting & Drop Ins
I’ve grown up around dogs and have years of hands-on experience, including raising my own from a puppy. He’s currently in Spain with my family, so whilst I’m a dog owner I won’t be bringing a dog with me to any bookings. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages and temperaments and can help with basic training, routine, and structure if needed. I genuinely love being around dogs from walks and play to relaxed downtime. I split my time between Spain and the UK, and while I’m here I’m fully available for house sitting and drops ins. But unfortunately can’t host. My approach is calm, friendly, and patient, making sure your dog feels safe and settled while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I keep a calm, predictable environment with clear routines so they feel settled from day one. I never take risks on walks, and I only use positive, reward-based handling. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how things are going. My phone is always on and I focus is on creating a safe, relaxed home where your dog feels secure, understood and well looked after.
Ratings and reviews
Fantastic. Pluto loved James! Pluto was a little unsure at first(as he’s with most people) but warmed up to James really quickly! The photos received showed Pluto looking really relaxed and it put my mind at rest! Would definitely book again! James went above and beyond and even walked Pluto too!
James has looked after my dog, Bracken, several times now. He’s a solid lad who knows how to handle a dog.He always turned up on time, kept me updated and took the dog out for a good, honest run. Reliable, respectful and clearly someone who understands dogs, not just pets. I’d trust him with Bracken any day.
James regularly looked after our dog, Luna in New York and she adored him. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and she would always ran straight to him. He was reliable, easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos.

Schedule
I’m a freelance designer, so as long as the house has a desk or a quiet spot to work, I can comfortably work from your home during bookings, meaning your dog or cat always has someone around. Alternatively I typically rent a workspace in Wooburn so for local bookings I’m very close by and can return at lunch for food and walks. For longer bookings (over two weeks), I may need to travel into London for a day but I can work around this if needed, just let me know your needs. Overall I always make sure the dog’s routine, care, and company are fully covered around that.
