The dogs always have so much fun over here and come back tired and ready to relax.

My dog Woody had a great time! Dropped him off for some daycare somewhat last minute, I was able to watch him get used to the other dogs one at a time which was great. James and Julia sent me updates during the day and I liked that they gave him some indoor rest/water breaks during the day because it was super hot out. Would book again!

I needed pet sitter for a trip out of the country. James was a wonderful pick to watch my dog for a week where she got top notch attention and care. Really appreciated the pictures and videoed he sent while out of town. My girl got to play in his giant backyard and the other dogs got along well so overall a very positive experience and I highly recommend James.
