Jim did a great job with our Corgi, Kai and our Border Collie, Toby. Kai was easy, but Toby is a rescue and warms up very slowly. James had the patience to give Toby time to adjust to our absence and Jim's presence. When we got home, we found the dogs, the house, and the cockatiel in great shape.

I've used James several times to look after my dogs while I'm away on business. He has always been very dependable and keeps me informed as to how my little fellas are doing. They always seem to be healthy and in good spirits when I return. It is especially important to me that James always arrives when he says he will. I highly recommend his services.

James has always done an amazing job caring for our furry family members. It really shows as they are always very excited to see James and enjoy their time with him. Our dogs are nervous types, but after James has taken care of them they look like they have enjoyed their time while we were away and don't look at all traumatized like they have with other caregivers. James even had to deal with a skunk spraying our dogs and did a wonderful job of bathing and de-skunking them while we were gone. I can wholeheartedly recommend James as a pet caregiver and would always trust him with our furry family!

James is a wonder with dogs! My pup, Gemma, adores him, and I always feel confident leaving her care in his hands whether that’s for a walk or outdoor exercise, pet sitting, or a drop-in visit for some TLC. He also send great pics and videos. I’ve also seen him with other dogs, and he clearly has a real gift with all kinds of pups. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him!
