Highlights
Pet care experience
I always try to exceed expectations
I’ve taken care of dogs since I was four years old. In the last five years I have traveled the country and dog/house sat in 8 states for neighbors, friends, family, and friends of. I have had experience in puppy training and working with dogs of all ages and size. I will treat your dog as if it were my own best friend! I am responsible and reliable and if I am free I will help as soon as possible! I like to provide fun updates to owners about the adventures their dogs and I have. Warning: You may come home to your dog wanting to go home with me.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep your dog on the same schedule that you keep them on, although they may get longer walks and more belly and shoulder rubs with me.
Ratings and reviews
James was wonderful. When I returned home all was perfect. He cared for my plants..fountains...fish..outdoor cats and of course my 4 inside dogs. I don't even think they missed me. He won them as well as me over and Im hard to please. Highly recommend!
We needed a petsitter to stay at our house while we were away for 8 days. This was our first trip away from our dogs (rescues adopted in December and January). One dog takes a little while to warm up to new people (and she acts like she might eat them until she gets used to them). The other dog is VERY ENERGETIC and tends to get into trouble if left unsupervised for extended amounts of time. I read through Rover reviews for petsitters who would stay at house and James had excellent reviews even from owners with difficult dogs. We really appreciated him coming to our house not once but twice. for everyone to get more comfortable with each other before our trip. The "slow to warm up to new people" dog adopted James as her new parent and the rambunctious dog was renamed "Crazy" by him. (I think he means it in an endearing way?). Anyway, we were very happy w/ James and all not hesitate to used him again!
As always, James provided Ava with great care and an excellent experience. He is a great communicator and his advice has helped me tremendously! He is absolutely reliable, trustworthy, and a pro at what he does. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
James stayed with our dog over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were very appreciative of his help. We would request James again.
Our dog likes very few people. The fact that she likes James from day 1 was almost enough on its own. But, still, a stranger in your house, and with your dog? James took the time to meet with us and we got to know about each other before the booking. The booking, 12 consecutive nights, went wonderfully. We would ask for James again.
James was adaptable and willing to care for a diversity of animals whole here. It was the first time in years that I didnt worry. He even collected eggs each day!

Schedule
I work remote so my schedule is wide open as far as availability is concerned.. If that changes I will communicate it. If I am with your dogs they are my first priority. I am laid back and very flexible. I take the care of your best friend very serious.
