James and Ellen were wonderful with Toby! They were kind, flexible, and kept us updated throughout his weeklong stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We were also able to meet them briefly beforehand, and they were so friendly and welcoming from the start. We really appreciated how well they cared for Toby and would definitely recommend them to others. We’d absolutely book with them again the next time our family goes away!

If you are looking for a safe ,responsible , loving person to walk or pet sit for your fur baby look no further James is best ! .James has watched my dog Murphy several times when I have gone away and Murphy absolutely loves him !! James works from home so he is able to give your pet plenty of attention, supervision and safe outdoor play time in his fenced yard throughout the day. If you want the best care for your pet look no further , James is the person !

James is one of the most responsible and caring people I know, and I would trust him with any pet without hesitation. He has spent time with my dog, Geo, who absolutely adores him—it's clear how comfortable and happy pets feel around him. Since he works from home and has a fenced yard, he’s able to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and safe outdoor time throughout the day. He’s dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals, which makes him an easy choice for anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter or walker.

Schedule

I’m currently working 4 days a week at home so have plenty of time to play with the dog, feed the dog or let the dog outside to play. I can also walk the dog a few times throughout the day as needed.
