Hi, I’m James — the feet behind James Walks the Woof! 🐾
After more than 25 years in the IT industry, I made a life-changing move from Surrey to the beautiful Scottish Borders, settling in Galashiels. Though originally from Canada, I’m proud of my Scottish roots and thrilled to now call this part of the world home—and to finally pursue something truly close to my heart: caring for our four-legged friends. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve shared my home with more than a dozen over the years, and each one has left pawprints on my heart. I’ve have training in obedience, agility, and flyball, but I’m happiest outdoors on long countryside walks with a wagging tail by my side. Recently, we said a heartfelt goodbye to our beloved Cilla—our 12-year-old English Springer Spaniel who lived with epilepsy from the age of one. Through her, I learned how to care for dogs with medical needs and special conditions, and I bring that same patience and compassion to every pup I walk.  Whether it’s energetic pups or older dogs needing a gentler pace, I’m experienced, patient, and genuinely love their company. I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m here to offer reliable, experienced, and loving support—tailored to their needs and yours
