Pet care experience

I love dogs

Throughout my childhood and early adulthood I have always had a dog. I come from a dog loving family. The following photos speaks a thousand words! However, I am a novice as a professional dog sitter. I am recently retired, so my time caring for your dog is now my job! I will gladly take your dog for walks and have no problem picking up after him/her! I have a fenced yard and have no other pets. I will provide services for only one dog at a time.

James has watched our Corgi a couple times now and has been great. Keeps us updated and extremely attentive. Will continue to leave Rookie with him in the future. Thank you

James was great! Our Jed was very happy and comfortable. Glad to have found James to take care of our elderly guy.

We continue to trust James with the care of our dog. It’s always a big relief to know that she is able to be with him while we are gone. Thank you, James for your attentive care!!

Thank you to James for taking such good care of our Diego. We have a senior dog and we felt very comfortable leaving him with James.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard so your dog can safely be outdoors off-leash. However, your dog will never be left alone in the yard unsupervised. For obvious safety and liability issues, I will never let your dog off-leash while on walks or in public.

A typical day

I will take your dog for walks at least twice a day, morning and afternoon/early evening in my neighborhood. The distance of these walks may vary depending on your dog's age and physical ability. For obvious safety and liability reasons, your dog will never be let off-leash. These walks may also double as potty breaks. However, additional potty breaks are no problem if required.

I will not accept puppies. I will not accept dogs who have not been house trained. I cannot, at this time, accept dogs that require medication that has to be injected. Oral medication is fine.
