Pet care experience
I've house sit and pet sit for family and friends since my youth as favors. Most pets tend to warm to me fairly quickly and let me carry them or pet them on the first meeting. My professional career is focused in child care and development. I've worked with 5-18 years old in various positions. My last position was teaching and caring for teenage youth, who were transitioning from incarceration to their parent's home, at a group home. I am used to dealing with crisis under pressure with a calm demeanor and resolving it to the best of my ability. I am CPR and First Aid trained and certified in non-violent crisis management.
Reviews
James was amazing. He really bonded with my fur baby, will be using him again!
James kindly agreed to board Apollo, my friendly, curious and laid back cat, while I was out of town. James was patent, sweet and gentle with him and didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. He also had prior experience with cat-parenting, so I felt he was a trust-worthy caretaker :)
I was nervous when I had to drop off my pup for an out of the country business trip. The little guy can be a handful sometimes and will wee when overly excited or anxious. James was super chill and caring during the whole process. He sent updates periodically and I felt more at ease. Highly recommend especially because of how patient he is.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While house sitting, I take safety/health of the pets and security of the surrounding area as the #1 priority. When I took care of my pets and others i. My own space, I'd block off any areas in the home that could be damaged or cause injury, if a pet got into it. I always made sure to engage with the pets I cared for, whether, playing fetch or running around with them. I made sure they expended that seemingly bottomless tank of energy.
Information James R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has behavioral or health issues to look out for or things they typically hate that people usually do. I don't have a preference in breeds or big or small animals.
A typical day
I like to let pets get fresh air and be in nature. Walks and dog parks are the best for that. When it gets colder, I will stimulate them with indoor activities.
