Pet care experience

Working from home tech professional

I have taken care of friends' pets (and homes) for many years, ranging from family dogs to high energy dogs and cats with special needs and anxiety. You'll feel safe with me as your sitter because I'm a problem solver by nature. When I was younger I volunteered on an ambulance and managed overnight camps where I was responsible for up to 30 children at a time. I learned that keeping calm and is the best way to get through difficult situations. If any problems should arrive while you're gone I'll let you know right away and we'll solve it together.

Second time James looked after our puppy and was amazing. Our dog was super excited to see him again. Thanks James!!!

James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!
