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.

No cat sitter quite like a cat dad!

Pet care experience

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.

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 :)

James was a perfect cat sitter! Communicative, easy, and he took good care of my cat, grooming and feeding her every day. Thanks, James!
