Pet care experience

Pets are the best people on earth.

Having raised both cats and dogs, I can understand the signs and characteristics of both; I love taking pictures of people’s pets (with permission!) which means updates aren’t an issue! I feed off their energy, and believe that mental stimulation and exercise are incredibly important in their daily lives— they don’t want to be bored anymore than we do! Senior animal care is something I’ve also had plenty of experience with my own; ensuring that they have the most comfortable spot to lay in and help going from floor to floor are vital.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, having a dog that follows you around means never having to wonder too long what they’re up to. That said, I always try to make sure that pets are within eyesight at home to prevent shenanigans, but never bark at them (no pun intended) unless it’s a matter of vital safety. I let the pets work me out at their own pace for trust and snuggles. ☺️ If there is ever a critical medical issue, I will be sure to notify the pet parent and take them to their preferred vet facility of choice. I don’t take chances with their health or safety—I can’t stress this enough.

James was a LIFE SAVER & couldn’t have been more help!! He took my dogs super last minute & on a holiday - he was very flexible and understanding & amazing at communication. My dogs loved him and he was SO sweet with them! Could not recommend him more, thank you James!
