James was SUCH a good host to our little dogs, and he was super communicative and easy to reach. Our dogs were clearly comfortable and relaxed at his house, and also clearly taken care of. They got lots of time adventuring, lots of time off leash, and also lots of supervision. And they looked like they loved hanging in pillow forts on the couch too. Thank you, James! We’ll see you again soon.

Great place for a dog. Our border heeler has room to run, a yard to play in and a great area to go to the beach and explore! Jim is great!

Bobby had an amazing time with James as his pet sitter! James sent regular updates with pictures and videos, which made me feel completely secure knowing Bobby was well cared for. Bobby was clearly in his element with all the nature walks and fun playtime. The only “issue” is that I don’t think Bobby actually wanted to leave! Highly recommend James for anyone looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter.

We’re so fortunate to have found James. Our girl Myla loves nothing more than being outside, in the elements, sniffing, exploring, engaging. We do not always have the space or freedom to be able to give her that, especially when trying to manage keeping her clean. When she visits James it is like an adventure vacation. She gets to be in the woods, running, playing, exploring freely and safely under James’ very careful watch. James understands dog behaviour and is excellent in ensuring Myla is well looked after. She comes home exhausted and longing for more Adventures. I swear as we drove away, she sat in the back looking out the window to see if she could still see James.

James took great care of my pets while I was out of town moving - lots of love and attention. They were settled and happy upon my return. He also went above and beyond the responsibility of petsitting by extending the booking and taking care of acouple of parcels that arrived at my home. I highly recommend him as reliable, honest and nurturing to pets. Thank you, James!

James did a great job looking after 2 of my dogs - he is relaxed, flexible and the dogs immediately loved him! They were happy and settled when I picked them up. James offers a great home away from home!
