The truest friends are our pets.

Pet care experience

I was raised with pets and began my life when I was 3 years old who was my Guardian Angel. I currently have 3 Pitt Bulls, one Australian Shepherd, and a Chi Wawa in my life.. (no they wouldn't stay with me while I pet-sat LOL). I take care of cats, chickens, pigs, goats, rabbits, snakes.. you name it. I enjoy playing, communicating, exercising and loving animals. If a dog is in the midst of dog training classes I am happy to attend the classes in your place, or continue practicing what they are in the middle of learning.. ie agility, obedience, heeling, etc. I am a somewhat experienced show-dog handler. I have a Master's in Social Work so not only am I a good communicator with people, but this carries over into excellent communication skills with animals.

James is a very good friend of mine and I am honored that he has been in my life for several years. I have watched him with his dogs thru the years and he is an excellent pet owner. He treats them like his family and is very loving to them. He takes time to give them more than a home. He gives them love and understanding and he never says an unkind word to them. Recently I visited him and we went to a dog show together. His dog won several awards and it brought tears to his eyes. He has babysat my dog on numerous occasions before she died and he was always excellent in every area of her care. He patiently gave her the medicines prescribed and took very good care of her. He always took her on walks and he takes his dogs on walks regularly. I think he would make an excellent dog sitter with any breed of dog. He is patient, kind, and he honors how a dog feels. As a result dogs pick up his energy and love being with him. In conclusion I'd like to say that dogs are in perfect hands when they are with James.

I highly recommend James as a dog sitter. He is responsible, kind and loving in all aspects of his life and that transfers over to his care of dogs. He has a firm, gentle personality that dogs respond well to. Hire him, you will not be disappointed.

James does a great job with the dogs, rabbits and chickens. My dogs are a handful and he does not have a problem with them. He is also good with smaller dogs and old dogs.

Information James W. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences and am good with ALL animals. I am very familiar with larger breed dogs and Pitt Bulls. I believe that animals pick up on your energy and if you are well-balanced and calm with your own life, animals will reciprocate with you.

A typical day

Usually I will go on dog walks where they are on familiar grounds and in familiar territory. If there is a swimming hole nearby we can play fetch the stick. If they enjoy ball catching, we can engage in that. I can engage in continued training routines that they may be in the midst of so that they won't lose what they are learning.
