James really is the best person I’ve had to check in on my cats while I’m away. He’s so conscientious and I can tell my boys enjoy him!

I cannot recommend James highly enough! He’s a wonderful caretaker as well as communicator who sent thoughtful updates while I was far from home and completely put my mind at ease. He’s always on time, reliable, and resourceful. Most importantly, he is clearly quite skilled with animals. He patiently built trust and connection with my cat (which is, shall we say… not super easy 😹😭) and now my cat adores him. We are big fans!!

House Sitting • Jun 30, 2026

James (Collin) has truly become part of our family. This is our second wonderful experience with him, and once again, he exceeded all of our expectations. Both times, we hired Collin to house-sit and care for our furry family members for a week. We have three dogs—a German Shepherd, a Boston Terrier, and a Terrier mix—as well as a flock of five ducks. Our dogs can be a bit challenging. In fact, two of them have been banned from our usual boarding facility: our German Shepherd is an escape artist who continually finds ways out of her run, and our Boston Terrier struggles with anxiety that can sometimes lead to aggression. Despite these challenges, Collin has built incredible relationships with all of our animals. They absolutely adore him, and it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing they are in such capable and caring hands. We never thought we would find a house and pet sitter as dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate as Collin. He takes tremendous pride in his work and consistently goes above and beyond. Not only does he provide exceptional care for our pets, but he also keeps our home tidy while we're away. On our return, we found that he had even washed the bed linens he used and remade the bed—an unexpected and thoughtful touch that speaks volumes about his character. If you're looking for someone to care for your pets and home, do not hesitate to hire Collin. He is reliable, professional, kind, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. We recommend him without hesitation and are incredibly grateful to have found him.
