Pet care experience

Calm cat dad here: happy to help!

Adult cat owner for a year and a lifetime of pet care and sitting experience. I work remotely in communications and marketing, so I have open availability and am very flexible with my time and attention. I’ve been an in-house sitter and dog walker for many friends over the last several years and have lots of experience with senior pets and anxious dogs.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have an indoor-only cat who loves playtime and cuddling, but I also have experience sitting for anxious dogs and senior pets. I’m patient, calm and caring, and happy to sit with them, walk them or play indoor and outdoor.

James was so helpful being available on short notice. He took great care of our cats and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely book with James again.

James continues to exceed my expectations as a phenomenal sitter. He is reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and the tidiest house guest. My dog and I both adore James!

James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

"Glowing recommendation" doesn't begin to describe my our experience with James as our sitter. His reliability, attentiveness, and genuine care for our furbabies helped to reassure us that we were leaving them in capable hands. He couldn't have been more on top of the unique demands and needs that came with our pets. James was communicative the entire time he was sitting. Regular updates helped give us peace of mind and fully enjoy our vacation. The bond he makes with our dogs and the excitement they have when they see him couldn't be more evident, too.

I work from home, fully remote, so I’m very flexible! Most of my job involves on-screen virtual meetings, writing and phone interviews so I’m happy to break up my day with walks, cuddles, snuggles and play time!
