I'm so, so happy with the care our cat Chowder got from James. She is a very skittish cat and normally doesn't spend much time with sitters, but she really seemed to love James! I got many photos and updates that showed she was relaxed and letting James pet and brush her. I'm normally a very anxious cat person when leaving Chowder, but after James' first check-in with her, I felt totally at peace knowing she was getting wonderful care with James. I really appreciate that James called me after his last visit before dropping the keys off just to make sure we were still on track to arrive home without any delays. I will absolutely be rebooking with James in the future!

James takes superb care of my rescue pup. She is skittish, but sweet. He knows exactly how to help her feel safe. He goes above and beyond. I never worry when I leave her with James.

James is wonderful. He engages well with our sweet, shy dog and also with us. He takes her for brisk long walks and is always reliable and punctual
