Pet care experience

Just here to pet some pups.

There’s a reason I have 5 stars. Cats love me, dogs respect me, women want me and fish fear me. Haven’t met a dog or cat that I don’t get along with, and you’ll be getting better photos than any sitter you’ve used before.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure there’s no loose articles to eat or chew on on the floor, all doors are closed securely, food and water are always stocked to owners preferences, and that wherever they lay their head is comfy and cozy.

James is amazing! He turned a super last minute request/panic (on my end) to a great experience. He communicated with me, keeping me in the loop, was very responsive & my dog was happy — and that’s all that matters!

James is an incredible sitter and went absolutely above and beyond on this visit in particular. Always takes great care of our cats and most importantly takes tons of pictures!

Boarding • Dec 01, 2024

James took really good care of Blossom, taking her on nice walks, dressing her for the weather, letting her scratch and sniff, all while sending nice pictures of her. She came back to us happy, relaxed, and playful. James is good with pets.

I’ve dealt with a lot of reactive and anxious dogs so you’re in good hands with me. But just be honest and let me know before hand!
