Ratings and reviews
Ruby had a great week with James! She is a spirited pup but James was not deterred by that from their meet and greet. He also left my place clean for when we returned from vacation. Look forward to booking him again!
James was so helpful and so good with our dog! Will definitely be booking again :)
James is simply fantastic!
James is the kind of dog sitter you hope you’ll find but rarely do. James was truly exceptional. We booked him months in advance for an out‑of‑the‑country trip, and from the very first moment he met our little beagle, Cody, we knew we made the right choice. Cody is a rescue with trust issues, but he was immediately comfortable with James — something that rarely happens. Right before our trip, Cody injured his back and needed medication every 4–6 hours. We were close to canceling, but James reassured us with a calm, confident “go ahead, I got this.” And he meant it. Being able to travel without worrying about Cody’s safety, comfort, or health was an incredible relief. James is calm, compassionate, and an excellent communicator. He goes the extra mile not just for the pets, but for the humans too. His updates were thoughtful, his care was meticulous, and his kindness was genuine. I highly recommend James to anyone considering him for pet care. He is honest, dependable, and truly an all‑around wonderful person.
My pup loves him! She is always so chill when I get home after spending time with James and I know she’s been well taken care of!
James was so great with our dogs! They took to him right away. I also appreciated how he tidied everything up before he left. I wouldn’t hesitate to book James again.
