Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Just purchased a home in West Saint Paul with a fenced yard for my pup Hugo. In addition, I go for a one hour plus walk most days with Hugo. I love to be active and love dogs and cats. The cats are still adapting to being inside as they transition from farm living to urban life.

James has always gone above and beyond in caring for my cats and his own animals. I’ve always known that my pets will not only be cared for but also loved and cuddled and adored when James is watching them. I highly recommend him as a pet sitter, especially if you want your animal to have fun nicknames, cuddles, and conversations.

I have just recently moved to the Twin Cities from a small farm in Illinois. I am retired and have free time nearly every day. I have been taking my pup Hugo for long walks every day as Hugo and I explore all the wonderful outdoor spaces.

Please let me know if there are blocks or houses to avoid while walking. Sometimes a neighbor with an aggressive dog in the yard is good to avoid.
