Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are my passion
I have worked with various dog breeds my entire life and I absolutely loved every second of it. Everything from Cockpoos to Rottweiler mix’s. I am very good at reading dog body languages and have spent time studying dog/ pack stress behaviors and happy behaviors. I believe in calm, assertive energy! Id be happy to share that energy with your pack!

Safety, trust & environment
My yard is well maintained and fenced in with plenty of sniffs! We start most days off with a walk, play time, and a good breakfast. How I care for the clients animals will depend on what the needs of the dogs are. I am very accommodating and know that dogs have different personalities and needs. It might take me a session to bond with a new dog but that’s okay, I know that patience pays off.
Ratings and reviews
James was wonderful! My cats loved him and they can be a little slow to warm up so he is definitely great with animals. He sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates, and took great care of them! I would recommend him to anyone!!


I’ve known James since childhood, and what has always stood out is his patience and respect when working with animals. Over the years he’s watched our family dogs, and I’ve also seen the same dedication and attentiveness he gives to his own pets, from his dogs, cats, and to the geckos he now breeds as both passion and business. No matter the animal, James approaches them with calmness, understanding, and genuine respect. I trust him with my pets and any pet would be fortunate to have his attention and guidance.
James is an exceptional animal person. He has cared for my dog many times when I was out of town or needed and extra hand when working long hours. He cares for his own 3 dogs and many other animals. He has a gecko business and cats. He never neglects his animals and treats them like family. He has a special touch with animals and I even call him James Ventura from time to time.
James is both a cat and dog-whisperer, with an ability to connect with even the most shy or aloof animals. He is responsible, caring, and can be counted on to take care of your beloved furry family members. I highly recommend James as a house-sitter, dog-walker, and all around pet-sitter for all pets (including cats, dogs, lizards, birds, and any other exotic pet you may have). Hiring James will be the best decision you could make for your peace of mind and the happiness of your pets!
