I wouldn’t trust James to watch a house plant. He didn’t want to meet my dog before his appointment, showed up and of course my dog was afraid. He walked him for 0.1 miles, and never showed up for the rest of the walks. James agreed to meet with my son on a Saturday to get to know the dog so the rest of the week he would be ok, he never showed up, never returned my emails, and never came back to walk the dog. We was on vacation, and there was nothing I could do. My son walked the dog at 5 in the morning and had to wait until he got home at 5:00 at night. I’ve never left a bad review for anyone before, but I’ve also never had such a bad experience before. By the way, my dog is a 10lb very friendly toy poodle. Not a big vicious dog. He was just scared the first time he saw James as he walked into our house. He has never bitten anyone, and love people. I would give James zero stars but the only was to post this comment is to select at least one.

Thanks for taking Rocco for the walk. He was on time and spent good 30 minutes with Rocco walking him. Made sure he did his business. Very reliable. Thanks Pramod

I have known James for twenty five years and I am happy to recommend him as a dog walker or sitter. He loves taking care of dogs and dogs respond in kind. He spends time with his own family dog who is loved and cherished. James will make pets in his care very happy! He is trustworthy and responsible. I fully endorse James as a dog walker/sitter.
