Highlights
Pet care experience
Patient, attentive animal lover
Hi, I'm James – I've lived with dogs and cats since childhood, and I have a keen, discerning sense of how they behave and what they need. As importantly, I know how to tell when they're in solo mode and just need space. My work in university student services requires me to be sensitive to nuances and slight changes in individuals and complex systems. I participate in mental health first aid teams at large events, and I volunteer 16 hours per month as an on-call victims services provider at my university. All of this to say: I'm empathetic, attentive, and detail-oriented, and I will bring all of those skills to taking care of your four-legged loved ones. I have been the steward of several animals over the years, but at present, I have two Border Collies. Gus is ten years old, and JoJo just had her first birthday. We keep talking about getting a cat, but right now we're contending with the puppy's recent diagnosis of protein-losing enteropathy (PLE). She's eating special food and getting lots of attention, to make sure she's staying healthy. On that note, I am willing to work with my clients on the types and pricing of services that I offer for unique needs. Does your pet need special attention, a longer than default drop-in visit, etc.? Let's discuss!

Ratings and reviews
James always takes great care of my cats!


James was great—I felt very comfortable leaving my cats in his care and I hope to use his services again.


James is the best- cats love him, people love him, you should hire him.

We’ve been contacting James anytime we need someone to watch our cats for years at this point. James is reliable, prompt, and a great communicator. I can’t recommend James enough!


James is always punctual and goes the extra mile for our pets. When we’re going out of town we always feel comfortable knowing he’s going to take care of our cats!


Thank you, as always for taking care of the kids. They are cuddly today now that we’re home. And a special thanks for handling the trash cans too.
