Our Clients Say
"Peninsula Dog Adventures… the name says it all. The dogs in James’s care truly do get those adventures.
From the moment James picked up my Labrador, Benson, I knew he was in safe hands for his overnight stay.
I received regular updates throughout the day — photos of their adventures, beach swims, walks, and plenty of rest time.
You can really see how much James loves dogs; he treats them like his own, with so much calmness, patience, and genuine care.
I would absolutely ask James to look after Benson again. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a dog sitter."

"Dante, our Standard Poodle, now almost six years old, has spent four extended holidays with James, each ranging from three to five weeks. I purposely haven’t called them “stays,” as they are far more than that — they are adventure holidays shared between James and Dante, who are extremely fond of each other. When James arrives to collect Dante, we cannot stop him from leaping into the back seat of James’s car, happily waiting to head off.
James built this beautiful relationship with Dante right from the start. He goes out of his way to create adventurous experiences for him, while also reinforcing and building on Dante’s existing training, and providing comfortable, safe accommodation. We are so grateful to have James in Dante’s — and our — lives. You should absolutely welcome Peninsula Dog Adventures and James into yours."

"I have been using Peninsula Dog Adventures for dog sitting, dog walking, and dog training and advice for over two years for our Cavoodle, Louie. We have complete trust in James and know that Louie is safe and well looked after in his care.
James’s property has plenty of space, is fully fenced, and is a lovely home away from home for any dog.
When Lou stays with James, he gets at least two walks a day in the beautiful surrounds of the Mornington Peninsula. They go to the beach for a splash, play games on the sand, and explore the nearby parks. I always receive lots of photo updates of their adventures!
Through James’s engaging approach to training, Louie now knows how to swim properly, jump, climb, and follow all the basic commands on cue. I often get comments about how well trained he is, and that’s all thanks to James — he is consistent, patient, and always makes training fun for Lou. The fun and excitement he brings to his interactions with dogs makes all the difference — he is genuinely excited to see Lou, and Lou absolutely adores him.
I always recommend James to friends — he is reliable, trustworthy, and forms beautiful connections with all the dogs he looks after. We are so lucky to have him!"
