Pet care experience

Active human, lover of animals.

I have a 6-year-old Great Pyrenees named Nala, a sweet and loyal guard dog, so I have experience and comfort interacting with all sizes, big and small. I also have two boy cats, Widget and Panko, whom I adopted 8 years ago. I love animals! Over the years, my friends and family have entrusted me with the care of their pets (and home) whenever they're out of town.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I like to ensure that both pets and pet parents feel taken care of, whatever is needed to feel comfort and trust and not have to worry about anything. Beyond the essential needs, I like to go above and beyond by including whatever unique interactions, games, treats, routines, training needs, or other fun things the pet(s) are engaging with at that time.

James is fantastic. He is so Careful with my older dog ( 14 yrs.) border collie, with some age issues. Sends updates every visit, with great communication. And really cares about not just your dog, but how you are when your away from your beloved best friend! Absolutely recommend him for your pet care. 10/10 stars!

Thank you to James for helping us out over the holidays! James was great with communication and our dogs took to him right away; they could tell he’s a dog person. He also went out of his way to help with things around the house that came up while he was here. Will definitely reach out to him again when we are in need. Thanks James!

Highly recomend James. He helped me during a family emergency, came the same day I contacted him for the meet and greet. Started right away. And took great care of my aging Border Collie. She's a picky eater and James went above and beyond to make sure she ate, ( she dosen't allways eat when im gone). I honestly never write reviews for anyone, but I am definitely impressed. Thank you so much James, for taking such good care of my Casey dog.

Our animals acted as though we had never left. Calm and relaxed. Our house was wonderfully cared for and left clean. A wonderfully awesome human being who treated ours as his own. 10/10

James took excellent care of our boys! They really loved their walks with him and he makes sure that everybody does their business and everyone is happy! He also made sure they had their water bowls topped off before he left. James is the best!
