I've known James Martin for over 20 years and know him to be conscientious, well-mannered, responsible and reliable. He has lived with and cared for dogs and other animals for years, and even volunteers at a no-kill shelter/adoption agency. When it comes to caring for critters, he very diligently researches everything needed to properly watch over them. He has the time, energy and flexibility to offer his assistance in most any situation. And in instances where house-sitting is desired, he is just as respectful and meticulous when taking care of people's homes as he is with their animal friends. James loves spending time with critters and cares for them with dedication. He is also a very skilled photographer with a particular interest in pet portraiture and "action photos". Something to think about. Highly recommended.

I would highly recommend James Martin to fellow Rover users with zero hesitation! He is incredibly punctual and absolutely delightful. He is one of those people that was just put on this earth to connect with animals and care for them. He is also incredibly thoughtful and respectful when it comes to property and taking care of animals in other peoples homes. We will definitely be reaching out to him again!
