James is everything you want from a dog sitter. He's reliable, responsive, highly competent and also just a really nice guy. He loves dogs and the outdoors so he's a perfect fit for my lab, Woody. I feel completely comfortable leaving Woody for extended periods and long trips, knowing that James is keeping a close eye on him. I highly recommend James! Betsey

James checks all the boxes when it comes to pet sitting. He is professional, reliable, responsible, and easy to work with. We love him so much that we actually fly him down to Florida when we need a live-in pet sitter while we are away on vacation. We fully trust James with our babies and our home and we would highly recommend him!! 5-stars

Love James and so do our huskies. He’s a natural, especially with our one-eyed pirate dog Sally, who isn’t warm towards other new humans. He makes them so happy!
