Pet care experience

Dogs are people too, you know.

I am dedicated to the safety and happiness of the dogs I care for. I treat them as a member of the family and nothing less. While I have had a variety of experiences with dogs, my most valuable experience has come from working with my 4-year-old rescue dog. He came to me with a great deal of anxiety-related behavior problems and minimal training. During the challenges I faced in working with him, I have gained insight into how to effectively work with other dogs as well. I have cared for dogs in the past while their owners were out. This has included walking, feeding, and playing. I am reliable and have a flexible schedule and hopefully I can help you with your doggy needs!

House Sitting • Nov 04, 2025

James has been watching my dogs for years now (maybe 8-9 years), and he is absolutely phenomenal. It means so much to have a dog sitter you can truly trust, not only with your beloved pets, but also in your home. He takes wonderful care of both my dogs, one of whom is elderly, needs medication and extra attention, and requires very careful handling around other dogs and people due to reactivity. James manages their needs with so much patience, understanding, and grace. He is just amazing. I highly, highly recommend James. He’s the best!

James has been such a big help and continues to assist us in a pinch! I cannot ever thank him enough as he continues to be such a great help with our dog, Sampson!

James has been wonderful with an odd schedule and taking care of Sampson. We feel at ease knowing he’s in good hands when we aren’t able to be home during the day!
