Pet care experience

Your dog will be part of the family

I've used this service many times for my own dog so I understand how important it is to find someone who will take care of your pet. Everyone knows that dogs are part of the family. I love spending as much time as i can with dogs and making them feel as if they were my own. I like all breeds and very interested in knowing more about them (big or small). I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I will always try to work around your schedule. I am an outdoors, active, fun and caring person. I love playing fetch and enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood with my dog. I'll make sure your dog is not stuck indoors all day long (weather permitting).

James was very responsive, attentive, caring, and genuinely kind from start to finish. Throughout summer’s stay, they kept me updated with tons of pictures and messages, sharing her daily activities. I would absolutely trust them with summer again. Highly recommend!

James was a wonderful sitter. He took care of my Max like he was his own. Max was very happy there and James sent us daily updates, complete with pictures. We will definitely use James again!

Could tell my dogs had a fantastic time staying with James while I was out of town since they seemed less excited to come home from their vacation 🤣 James was very thorough with his communication and sent regular updates. Also provided my dogs with snacks and lots of attention and exercise. Would definitely be considering James for our next booking!
