Pet care experience

Labrador lover

A lifelong animal lover, I’ve had 16 Labradors over the years and have regularly dog-sat for two close friends for the past two and a half years. I’m experienced, reliable and caring, and very comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes and personalities, as well as animals in general.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very caring and attentive around animals, and when a pet is in my care, they are my number one priority. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and relaxed, while closely following their usual routine, feeding, walks and any specific instructions from their owner.

James was great. Super responsive for a last minute request, took great care of Bruce and left my apartment spotless. Highly recommend.

James has looked after my mini golden doodle a few times and he’s great. Very reliable, loves dogs, gets them to exercise quite a lot and keeps them in a good routine. Highly recommend if you want peace of mind!

James is amazing with my golden retriever, Harper! He's watched her many times and it's clear he treats her like his own — so much love and attention every visit. He's incredibly dependable, and Harper absolutely adores him. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares. I'll definitely keep booking with James!

Starting to think Leo loves James more than he loves us. James has looked after Leo for years. Leo is a Lab Corgi mix with a lot of energy so he needs someone who will actually walk him properly and James always does. Walking, running, playing, boarding, he does all of it and sticks to the routine. Brings him back tired and happy every time. Turns up when he says he will and we trust him completely with ours. James loves dogs and dogs love James. Your dog will love him too.
