The Absolute Best Sitter We’ve Ever Had! We cannot recommend James highly enough! He watched our dog, Dash, for two days, and the experience was truly outstanding from start to finish. Leaving your baby is always tough, but James gave us complete peace of mind. His communication was flawless; we received regular updates and the most wonderful photos showing our dog having genuine fun and getting tons of cuddles. It was obvious our Dash was being treated like a member of his family and not just a client. James is not only professional and reliable, but he brings a genuine enthusiasm for dogs that is rare to find. When we picked up our pup, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a fantastic "vacation" himself. If you are looking for a sitter who is reliable, attentive, and treats your pet with incredible love, do yourself a favor and book James immediately. We will absolutely be repeat clients!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 25, 2024

I love James!!!!! I was so worried. I never left my dog with anyone before. He was so confident and made me feel so comfortable. My baby didn’t even cry for me. 10 minutes after dropping her off, James sent a picture of Natalia exploring his home. By lunch time she was cuddling with him on the couch!!! I was able to work in peace knowing my baby was safe and happy. He’s hands down the best!!!! Had me at ease with the whole situation xoxo

James was awesome. My dog Bowie and him got along perfectly and it was really a great peace of mind to know that Bowie was taken care of and had everything he needed and way more. James was totally able to accommodate me pretty last minute and it helped me out very much. The entire time James kept in touch with me, sending photos and Bowie and updating me throughout the day. I would absolutely recommend James to anyone looking for a caring dog sitter or for any of your pet needs!

I can't recommend James enough! He dog-sits my miniature dachshund Franklin all the time, and I completely trust him. James is responsible, loving, and always attentive to Franklin's needs. Your pets are in excellent hands with him!
