Pet care experience

As a long time owner of a working breed, I am familiar with energetic dogs that need both physical activity and mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. I go on daily hour long strolls each evening with my own dog as well as morning walks with play sessions scattered throughout the day. In addition to caring for my own dog, I've regularly helped friends and watch their dogs while they're away. This has given me experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. Whether it's taking them on walks, keeping up with feeding schedules, providing companionship, or making sure they feel comfortable in a new environment, I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique needs and personality! When caring for your dog, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, sticking to their routine, or simply providing companionship and attention. I live in a home with a fenced backyard with my partner who is also work from home, so we have a very flexible schedule and will always have at least one person supervising your pet. Since I've also used dog sitting apps before for when I needed to travel abroad, I understand how important it is to keep you updated with photos, messages, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands.

I have seen firsthand how naturally James is able to connect with any dog. He has such a special way with them and they seem to trust him almost immediately. He is so gentle, patient, and genuinely caring, and he always makes sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. I trust him completely with my Australian shepherd Indy and would trust him with any dog! I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and attentive to care for their pet.

is Archie’s favorite human being. James looked after Archie as if he was his own. You can tell how much heart and love he puts into taking care of him. Every time we dropped off and picked up Archie he was so happy. James would send regular photo updates to keep us posted and feel secure as dog parents and even taught Archie new tricks. We can tell how much Archie loves him as he always goes running back to James excited for a stay whenever we travel. I highly recommend James to take care of your beloved furry fam!
