Pet care experience

I have a huge heart for animals. I have had pets all of my life and consider them to be part of my family. I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages and know the commitment and responsibilities that come with caring for pets. If you have an energetic dog, I can take them on runs, jogs or long walks around the neighborhood. If you have a calmer dog then leisurely strolls around the neighborhood it will be. I have experience with shy and reactive dogs and I can give them the patience they need. I am also happy to just cuddle and spend quality time with your dog or cat. Taking care of them is truly a passion for me.

James was great! Such piece of mind knowing that my pups were being taken care of by someone who enjoys dogs. Will definitely rebook again in the future.

I was really impressed with James. He took our two dogs on a morning walk and our puppy actually came back tired. James was fully capable of walking two big, energetic and excitable dogs. Sadie and Maverick were so happy when they came back from their walk. James clearly loves animals and has a kind and gentle demeanor around them.
