Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced and Compassionate Pet Caregiver
With a lifetime of hands-on experience of looking after pets, I have developed a deep understanding and love for animals of all kinds. My journey began with caring for my own pets and expanded into helping friends and family with their furry companions. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and small critters, ensuring they receive the best care possible. Although I currently don't have any pets, this has left a massive gap in my life that I hope to fill by caring for your beloved animals. My experience includes feeding and nutrition, grooming, exercise and play, training puppies, and general pet care. What sets me apart from other sitters is my genuine passion for animal welfare and my extensive, diverse experience. My calm and patient approach ensures even the most anxious pets feel comfortable and loved. I am reliable and trustworthy, committed to providing consistent, high-quality care. As a lifelong animal lover, I bring patience, empathy, and dedication to every pet I care for. My calm and gentle demeanor helps pets feel at ease, even those who are shy or anxious. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment where your pets can thrive. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and secure while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they are in good hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with James. He was really prompt and helpful with communication, and kept us updated throughout our dog’s stay with regular photos, which was really reassuring. Our dog settled in really well and seemed very happy and comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him and would definitely use him again!
James and Nikita were brilliant with George. He is a lively boxer and they had exactly the right balance of approach. He had clearly had a great time and we would not hesitate to use them again.
James was fantastic. For our first international trip, James made sure to keep me updated anout my two dogs especially when we had an unexpected vet requirement right before drop off. I appreciated all the pictures and look forward to booking with him again in the future!
Great dog sitting service, made our dog feel very relaxed. A real home from home, thank you!
James was great- super responsive and my dog seems happy!
James and his partner were able to look after Piper on shortish notice for a week. They had no trouble looking after her at all. She seemed well loved and looked after. Thanks again!

Schedule
Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine because I work from a home with a garden. This flexibility allows me to easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtime, walks, and any special needs your pet may have. My home-based work ensures that your pet will never feel lonely or neglected, receiving the love and care they deserve.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe and comfortable environment. I have a fenced yard, providing plenty of space for outdoor play and exercise. Indoors, your pets will have a cozy area to relax and feel at home. I cater to each pet's specific needs, whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or quiet time for rest.
A typical day
While sitting, your dog will enjoy plenty of fun and engaging activities. We’ll go on regular walks, and if they’re up for it, we can also go for a run to burn off some extra energy. I love playing games with the dogs I sit to keep them happy and mentally stimulated—whether it’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or some interactive toys. I’m fortunate to live in a house with a garden, so there’s plenty of space for them to play and relax outside. Plus, we’re close to several parks, which means your dog will have the opportunity to explore new environments and enjoy lots of fresh air and exercise.
