Pet care experience

Dog sitter

I have 2 dogs and the oldest and I went to training together. I have experience watching and walking my friends dogs over the years. I will no longer watch “rescue” dogs. If your dog gets aggressive around food or treats I will not watch them. I will not let me or my dogs be attacked in my own home.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 07, 2026

James was so accommodating and wonderful! He was very kind and welcoming with my pets (3 dogs and 1 cat)! He sent me pictures throughout the day to put my mind at ease about how the animals were doing. I would highly recommend James! 10/10!!

James was very accommodating, taking my dogs last minute. They got along so well with his Dalmatians, loving all the playtime and attention. I couldn’t have asked for a better scenario for my mini golden doodle pup and senior golden retriever. They came home relaxed. I can tell they were very well cared for. Loved the daily photos, grassy yard, companionship and expert care. Thanks James!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 14, 2026

James really did a great job tiring out my high energy husky puppy! She didn't even make it through the 10 minute drive home before falling asleep! He sent lots of pictures throughout the day too.

James and Drax (his dog) were the best companions for my dog. Rollo stayed at their house for 11 days and he seemed so happy. My dog is very shy and takes him a while to adjust and open up to new people and dogs but James knew how to get him to trust him and felt comfortable. He was very good at giving us updates and sending pictures throughout. I’d definitely recommend James for your pups, no doubt I will leave my dog with them again.

James is an outstanding pet caregiver! He’s incredibly responsible, reliable, and has such a natural connection with animals. My pets immediately felt comfortable and loved in his care. He goes above and beyond to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well taken care of — always keeping me updated with photos and messages. It’s clear that James truly loves what he does, and it shows in the way he treats every animal like his own. I couldn’t recommend him more highly for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Pets

A typical day

Everyday I walk my dog at least once and every week we go on a hike at least once. We play outside in the yard and he gets treats occasionally. I have dog puzzles he enjoys doing as well.

Let me know how your dog behaves around other dogs, any fears or triggers, special commands that I may need to know, bathroom routines, medication needed, or anything you think I should know.
