About James

Grew up around pets and lived most if not all of my life with them. They really are what make the world tick in this crazy society we now live in! I've been an unofficial pet minder/sitter/trainer for all my friends and family for some time now and became their number one go to. They're literally what I live for so I thought I would put my services and love out there to you as owners and your lovely pets. Whether this be anything from making a comfy trusting spot for your dog, kitty, hamster or turtle, or a little local walk with the smaller or elderly pooches, or full on sleepovers with my golden retriever Hope. Whatever you need I can guarantee your pet will enjoy every second of it! You will see from my pics I have a lovely ground floor apartment with secure double doors which opens up for your pets to sit and watch the world go by, or take them out to a lovely outdoor secure area with high walls and secure gate to play, rest, chew sticks or play some fetch. I also only have healthy organice treats so your pet won't be eating any of this artificial unhealthy stuff there is so much of these days. There are a couple of comfy pet beds, a big couch, comfy arm chair and a big memory foam orthopedic bed for those bigger older pooches who just want to chillax.

Whatever way your pets will love being here with Hope and I and they might not even want to leave, or in many cases definitely want to come back.

Be sure to check my availablity and get in touch if you would like your pet to be loved just like you would love them, and even the possibly of picking up a tired pooch from all the fun they're going to have.

All welcome as Hope hasn't got an aggressive bone in her body, honestly she doesn't even know how to show anger so if your pet does struggle to interact with other dogs then I can guarantee it won't take long until they're best friends.

Thanks for considering us and I hope to hear from you soon so we can make new connections and become bestest of friends with your pets.

Just to highlight what I offer - 

  • Pet minding in my home pretty much 24/7, including overnight stays
  • Pet minding in your home, but I would need to be allowed to bring my Golden retriever Hope if it's any longer than 3 hours...
  • Dog walking, or even walking your cat or rabbit as I've seen this about on rare occasions...
  • Dog training if needed. I'm not an official dog trainer but I've done a good enough job with all the dogs I have had in my life. Hope and others will be able to vouch for this!
  • I can administer medication with previous experience of administrating diabetic, after op and cancer meds
  • Light grooming as in bathing, brushing and nail trims
  • There are no doubt other things so just be sure to ask :)

James is an excellent dogsitter, our dog Gwen had a lovely time with him, and made a new best friend with his dog, Hope. James was very communicative throughout the weekend and sent lots of pictures of the dogs playing together. He was also very patient with us when we were on our way back given the poor phone signal where we were staying. I can wholeheartedly recommend James to anyone reading this
