James is so great!! I've asked him to dog-sit for my 70lb husky/shepherd mix (who can be a handful) numerous times, and will absolutely do so again. James himself has a puppy, who he's doing a fantastic job of raising into a well-behaved, sweet-tempered dog. He's working on his puppy's separation anxiety and socialization, and has done a ton of self-education, research, and consultation with vets and other experts in that journey. I have also trusted James to house-sit for me when I have been out of town for trips and taken my dog with me. On those occasions, he did a great job taking care of the neighborhood cats I feed, and even managed to befriend Blue, who is generally pretty shy and distrustful of men. When James sent me a video of him giving Blue a belly rub, I knew everyone was in great hands! In short - James is responsible, a great communicator, and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend him to take care of your beloved furry family members.
