Experienced sitter for any pet

Pet care experience

I love animals, and have never gone a time in my life where I haven't had a pet dog and/or cat. I've worked for nearly the past 10 years as a sitter for other companies, and can provide references from multiple clients. I have experience with dogs and cats that includes exercise, play, feeding, and administering medicine, as well as house sitting. For boarding, I have a 1500 square foot home and an acre yard, all of which is available for pets to make use of. animals that stay with my wife and I are part of the family, and are not barred from beds or furniture. Between the two of us, there is always somebody available for walks and potty, as well as playtime.

James is wonderful. He was great with our VERY energetic puppy and was kind enough to send updates and pictures while she stayed with he and his wife over a weekend. Our dog came home happy and tired which is a great combination. If you are looking for a kind, reliable and caring person to take care of your dog, James checks all of the boxes.

Our dog really seems to love James! We have only been using him for a week but our experience with him has been great. I never had a moment of doubt during the whole week of having him come check on our dog. We plan to continue using him.

James was great! He was great with my dogs, and he was personable, communicative, and flexible. I’ll definitely book him again and I’d absolutely recommend him!

James has been taking care of our dog , Bear, for the last three years . He is always reliable , professional and most importantly Bear loves him. Bear is a quirky dog who often decides he doesn’t want to walk. James is the only person that is always able to get Bear to walk. I highly recommend him if you are looking for someone to take care of your dog.

As I have my own pets, I would need to make sure anyone that comes to stay with me is friendly towards other animals as well as people, however I don't have any children to take into account.

A typical day

dogs that stay at my home can look forward to walks through our wooded neighborhood as well as through a variety of battlefield parks that are nearby. I also have a variety of toys for fetch and tug of war.
