Pet care experience

Loving care for all your pets.

Can work with you in any situation. I Have owned all kinds of pets. I Love all animals. My home boarders the Rolla walking trail near Lions Club Park . I own 3 acres of land. Please come by, all are welcome to come meet our family any time. My wife works for Missouri S & T and I am a US Navy Veteran and home all day. I am willing to work price for all. I know how hard it is to board your pets and you will have no worries while your loved one is with us. Your pet will be treated like ours. We can supply food, but if your pet needs special food you will have to provide it. Look forward to meeting all the new owners and pets. Thank you!

Doggy Day Care • Dec 31, 2025

Benjamin loves to spend time with James, and we feel comfortable knowing that he'll be well taken care of. We had another wonderful experience and look forward to our next visit to Missouri so Benjamin can spend time with his favorite pet sitter.

James was absolutely wonderful with my Coco. I could tell by the photos that Coco was happy being there. Definitely recommend James if anyone needs a sitter to care for their pup!

James did a fantastic job watching our cats for us. He clearly loves animals. He was on time and sent us pictures and updates. Will definitely use him in the future!

James always does a good job. I don’t worry about my fur babies when we are away under his care. He is always prompt and receptive to special requests.
