About James W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will be spending all my time taking care of your family! My biggest reocurring event is DnD on Thursday or Friday for a 5ish hour time block. The session is online with my laptop, and does not affect my care for your pet. I own a car, and will happily spend the entire time of my stay in-house unless otherwise requested. I am a homebody, and love to watch shows/movies or read books at home. I also enjoy long 1-2 hour walks and playing in the park.
Information James W. would like to know about your pet
Knowing triggers and motivations is super helpful. Also knowing what level of training has been laid down gives me an idea of how much trust I can establish out the gate. Any good or bad habits, as well as goals would be appreciated as well.
A typical day
I love to disc golf when the weather is right, so ideally I go for a walk through pier park and the attached doggy park. Providing enrichment and growth puzzles/games that promote critical thinking is an indoor fave. Lots of cuddles, walks, and playtime as well. My in-house hobbies include reading, shows and movies, video games, and DnD.

Reviews

Great communication and updates on my sweet girl. Left my home tidy. Would work with again!

James was responsive and easy to work with, and took good care of my home and cat. Would definitely book with him again in the future. Thank you!
James is amazing. I booked him last minute due to a family emergency. He came over, met my pup and I felt totally at ease leaving my senior pup with him. He stayed at my house for 4 nights while I was away and he checked in with me, sent me photos and took excellent care of my dog and my home. I came home to clean and tidy home and well taken care of pup. I would definitely book James again to dog sit. He was communicative, and great with my dog.

James helped us out with a last minute request and was incredible. Communicative, took great care of the pup and the house! Came home to a clean space and a happy dog.
