James McLean
Professional Pet Care

You need someone you can trust with your keys and your best friend. With over 5 years of experience, I provide reliable, attentive care for pets who need a calm routine and homeowners who want peace of mind while they’re away.Whether it’s a daily walk, a 24/7 stay for a dog that needs a little extra patience, or a thorough security check for your home, I’m here to make sure everything stays exactly as you left it.

Safety & Accountability

Trusting someone with your home and your pet(s) is a big decision. I maintain professional liability insurance and a clean police background check, with full documentation available for you to review when we meet.I am also certified in Canine Emergency First Aid (Canine Foundations) and First Aid for Dogs and Cats (Canadian Red Cross), so I’m prepared to step in if a medical emergency ever occurs.

Serving Barrie and Simcoe County

Local Service in Barrie — I provide daily dog walking and drop-in visits throughout the Barrie area. My focus is on providing reliable, high-standard care within the city limits to ensure I stay on schedule and give every dog my full attention.Overnight Care & Travel — For overnight pet sitting, I am available to travel outside of Barrie. If you are located in the surrounding areas—such as Innisfil, Angus, or Midhurst—and require multi-day, in-home care, I provide custom quotes based on your specific requirements and location.

Getting Started

Professional pet care starts with a proper introduction. Before any service—whether it’s a daily walk or an overnight stay—I require a free in-home consultation to meet you and your pet(s). This ensures the chemistry is right, covers home access details, and allows us to review my service agreement in person.Pending a successful meeting and a signed agreement, we can then move forward with scheduling your first booking.Ready to discuss your pet's needs?
