Pet care experience

Dogs are better than people

I have personally had at least one, and often two dogs at all times for the past ten years. Three of the last four dogs I owned were rescues so I am understanding and experienced with dogs with social issues and special needs. I have frequently house sat both dogs and cats for friends and never found a furry friend I did not appreciate spending time with.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am experienced dealing with pets with dietary and environmental restrictions if your pet requires extra care in feeding or limitations on their interactions with strangers/off-limits areas of the house. If no extra care information is given, I am usually quite relaxed in discipline, I personally allow my dogs onto furniture, etc.

James was fantastic! He came over once a day to feed/spend time with our cats, and I know they appreciated it. They were taken care of, and I didn't worry once while we were away. Thanks James!

James took amazing care of my cat Luna while I was away for a week! Sent lots of photos and Luna clearly took to him immediately. Would definitely rebook with James!
