About James A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At a client’s home, I strive to go above and beyond in home-care and pet-care. The basic are important, i.e. food, water, potty breaks/litter box maintenance, but affection and enrichment are equally critical! I am happy to tailor treats and toys to your furry friend. If they have any specific needs, I am open to discussion. I hope to leave your pet and your home in satisfactory condition.
Information James A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs! I am happy to administer provided supplements and medication, and customize their care.

For dogs: Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. For cats: Rabies, FVRCP. FIV/FelV positive cats accepted with disclosure.
A typical day
Beyond your pet’s basic care, I am happy to offer enrichment including interactive playtime, toys and puzzles, and treats! I am also happy to simply spend time with them. If you would like your pet to receive basic grooming, please reach out to discuss brushing and nail trims. Care will be tailored to your pet’s comfort level and owner preference.

Pets
Passionate Pet Caretaker
Pet care experience
Since childhood, I have been passionate about animals- Especially cats! Growing up, I would cat-sit, care for strays, and took over my household kitty care as a pre-teen. As an adult, I have 4 cats of my own, work with them at my job, and volunteer with local rescues. My household also has dogs that I help care for. My experience as a rescue foster has introduced me to a variety of cats over several years. I am familiar with working with kitties of various ages and temperaments, can administer medication, and can offer basic grooming. While I have a preference for cats, I am familiar with small and medium dogs and happy to work with them. Please reach out if you have any questions and we can discuss details!

Reviews
James is exceptional as a drop-in caretaker. He took such good photos of my cat and went the extra mile to give detailed updates and administer medicine. Very thankful he took care of my cat Margaret during thanksgiving break!
James has cat-sit for me several times. He follows directions well and communicates with me regularly and if he has questions about my pet’s care.
James is a great care taker of pets, especially cats. He’s responsible, shows up on time, and has a passion for animals. He’s got several years of experience taking care of cats of various ages and needs, including cats with special needs.
