I will run with your dog.

Pet care experience

I work in the Philadelphia school district and have a very caring personality that expands beyond human beings to dogs and cats. My experience in schools makes me a trustworthy candidate for your pet. My pet-sitting in the past has been for relatives and friends, but I am excited to bring my services to a larger audience. I am very physically active, and I bring that to my engagement with your animals. It's so important for animals to get out and be playful. I enjoy playing catch and fetch, running, and walking. In addition to being physically active, I think it's important for animals to feel care and social attention. Many of us work difficult long hours, but those hours are long for our pets too, because they're not accustomed to alone time. Some of my clients have commented to me that when they come home their dogs are pleasantly sleepy or calm, and I think this is a result of getting the right social time and physical activity to reduce pet anxiety.

I have known James for over a decade and he is a very conscientious, caring person who I would gladly trust with my pet. He's hard-working, fun and playful, just what you'd want in a dog-sitter, and maybe in a dog come to think of it. I have no doubt you will be overjoyed with your choice if you select him to care for your pup. Cheers!

James did such great work on issues in Providence - it's a testament to his ideals. He also was good at getting along with my pet parrot - who usually doesn't like anyone. My parrot can be afraid of strangers, and even mean to them, but James approached her in a friendly way and soon they became friends. I'm sure James would be a great dog walker or dog sitter for you.

James is a kind person with amazing ideals. He has done a lot of good deeds in the city of Providence, RI. He's great with children and he respects nature.

I know James very well and have known him for roughly 15 years. We met at college where we were both activists for social and environmental justice. Now I'm a teacher and he works as a substitute teacher in my school. He is a caring, kind, and trustworthy person.
