House Sitting • Aug 14, 2026

James and Reichel were awesome! We’re new to the house / overnight sitting so we were apprehensive about our pet with strangers but James and Reichel were so accommodating, professional and incredibly responsive. The initial meet and greet with our pet was so helpful and definitely put us at ease before we left for vacation. Woody loved them! We received pictures and videos daily for updates and they responded immediately with any questions we had! We would highly recommend them to anyone that needs them!

House Sitting • Aug 07, 2026

James was so wonderful, I was so nervous having to leave my dogs usually my son will stay home while I travel but this time we were able to travel together which we haven’t been able to, due to my fear of dog kennels and strangers . My dogs loved James so much. The meet and greet went so well. He was attentive, paid attention to the feeding instructions, medications, snacks and daily walks. My flight was delayed coming home and James offered to help put longer until I got home. We received lots of photos and videos also. I can say I now feel great and can travel more Thanks to James!!! I will be using him most definitely and recommend others to reach out to him as well.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 21, 2026

Though the drop-in visit wasn't successful, James and Reichel were fantastic through the entire process. After the first meet and greet on Monday Reichel came by again on Friday, on her own time and at her suggestion, just to try to make Dessa more comfortable. Well, Dessa is an 11ish year old German Shepherd who was found as a stray a year ago, and it's only been a month since I adopted her (from SC to MA). She's still settling in at home, tentative but usually eventually okay with strangers. Friday's quick visit went great, but today she wasn't up for something unfamiliar, and that's understandable. If she gets more comfortable with people over time, I will 100% return to James and Reichel when needed. Excellent communication all along the way, and they truly understood and cared for Dessa, even though she wasn't nearly so friendly in return 😆
