Pet care experience

No cat sitter quite like a cat dad!

I can't remember a time in my life where I wasn't surrounded by animals. When I was growing up, I was a dog person. As I got older, I eventually found myself as a dad to cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even a hamster! I love pets of all kinds, but have grown to really have a soft spot for cats. My wife and I love to foster kittens and small pets from the humane society. This has allowed me to gain experience with a variety of cat personalities, conditions, and temperaments. I have also gained experience in administering oral and topical medications to cats from my time fostering.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Although I can't provide care for your pets in my own home (my cats would protest), I will treat your home with as much care as if it was my own! I prioritize your pet's safety above all else, and am especially cautious of cats who may try to run out of open doors.

I highly recommend James for your pet care needs! He is very responsible and willing to do whatever comes up; eg, the power went out while we were away and he enquired about anything we needed to be done around the house in response to that. He was perfectly attentive to our cat’s needs and very communicative. He made us feel very safe while we were gone!

James took good care of my cat Lola, she was happy when I was back home, and all was in order. Very good with communication, would recommend him to other pets owners

James took such a great care of our baby! He is sweet and kind, timely, responsible, responsive, and trustworthy which allowed us to actually relax on our 10 day trip. We are happy to know we can rely on James in the future.

James was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties in his care while I was away. They can be somewhat standoffish with new people but James has such a calm energy — I could tell they immediately felt safe and comfortable with him. James is a fellow cat lover and I could really tell in the care he provided for my babies, and the pictures he sent while I was away. I would absolutely book James again in the future, no hesitation.

James was super easy to communicate with and responded very quickly to messages. I felt very comfortable having him watch over our cat, and knew she was in good hands. Would recommend :)
