Pet care experience

Must Love Dogs 🐕!

I've helped to take care of family pets my whole life. For the past 8 years I've been the sole caretaker of my sweet family dog named Boo. She just passed away at the age of 17. I am very skilled at taking care of elderly dogs needs including keeping close watch of body functions, giving medicine, and use of diapers and clean up for incontinence related issues.

James took very good care of Tyson while I was on vacation! He’s got a positive vibe and gently allowed Tyson to get comfy on his own terms and timeline. He sent pics everyday that captured Tyson’s daily outings and activities! That helped ease my mind knowing he was happy and in good hands. I would definitely hire James again. Two thumbs up from me and four paws up from Ty 🐶 Thank you, James!

James was AMAZING with my super anxious dog!!! She was so well taken care of while I was away, it was her first time being away from us and James did such a great job taking care of her! Gave us so much peace of mind. So glad we’re able to find someone who can help and be so patient with our pup!

James has been great. He's personable and knowledgeable. It took a time or two for Freckles to warm up to him because she's pretty shy at first, but now she's excited when she sees him coming and is more than ready to walk.

James is amazing with pets! I have a 95 lb rescue dog that is usually timid around masculine presenting people. She’s always been comfortable and happy to be around him. He’s very patient and loving and excellent with animals. And can handle my gentle giant with ease.

James did us a huge favor by taking our family dog in at a time our situation did not allow us to keep her. He cared for that dog so well, she had the best life with him! He took her to so many amazing places and cared for her into her very old age. She lived to be 18 years old and I can only imagine she hung on as long as she did because of his devotion and care! He would be such a great pet caretaker. I highly recommend!
