Experienced, caring and attentive

Pet care experience

Your loved one will be cared for as if he/she was our own. I have had dogs and cats almost my entire life. For two years I was a manager/walker for a dog walking company, (Mobile Mutts) in Brooklyn, NY. While there, I trained walkers and pet sitters while also walking and pet sitting myself. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, special needs dogs that have needed to be walked every two hours (literally), a 50 lb dog that lived in a 4 story walk-up, and even those that needed oral medication. I'm looking to provide a service that is not only needed, but also fun. I also go out of town and know how hard a decision it can be to leave your loved one with someone else.

Ollie was very well taken care of during his 1 week stay. We will definitely call again!

James is the perfect sitter. I cannot recommend him enough. My dog came back sleepy and happy.

James was wonderful taking care of Marty during our family vacation and kept us updated on Marty's wellbeing. James was also kind to accommodate us by taking care of Marty for another day when our return was delayed because our airline cancelled our daughter's ticket.

James was great with Nala! She seemed to have a great stay. We would definitely use him again!
