Experienced International Sitter
Pet care experience
My wife and I are both retired business owners. Since retiring in 2016, we have been looking after people’s homes and pets internationally for over 5 years. We have completed over 40 sits and all have been positive experience. We are happy to provide our references (we have lots) as well background checks. Now that we are staying closer to home, we can look after your pet at your place or ours (in Kamloops, BC). We have experience with dogs, cats, birds and horses. We are happy to expand our repertoire. We are Canadians and we both have our Canadian driver licence and our own vehicle. We are fit and get as much enjoyment from a good walk as pet might. Please give us a call. Thanks. Being retired, it gives me a lot of time and flexibility. My daily routine is generally well suited to looking after your pet. I am an early riser, I like to linger over coffee in the morning and enjoy long daily walks. I also tend to stay close to home in the evenings. We don’t host often but our house is well suited to do so. It’s a large house with a big yard. However it is only 80% fenced so dogs that do no have good recall would have to remain on a leash.
Reviews
James came through on a last minute trip for us and was great with our boy. Lots of walks and pictures to make me feel better. ?
This was my first time using the Rover App and I was hesitant to have someone come to the house that I had not known before. James was very accommodating and came for pre-visit to introduce himself to me and to meet Shadow. I could tell during pre-visit that James would be a good fit for looking after Shadow in my absence. James briefed me on what I could expect during the drop-in visits and gave me tips on preparing a booklet on particulars about Shadow and other relevant information that would be a helpful reference resource in the care of Shadow. James did all that he said he would during his daily visits including providing Shadow company and some play time and ensuring she had food, water and that her litter box was cleaned each visit. I received updates with every visit, including photos. Can't have asked for more and would definitely book again. Thank you James.
Jim was a great house/pet sitter. Communication was seamless and I felt very comfortable leaving Hudson in his care. He made sure to follow Hudson's feeding and walking routines and gave us regular updates on how things were going. The house was left in perfect condition. I'm very happy with my choice to use James. I would not hesitate to use him again.
You will not be disappointed. James and Cheryl are the kindness, most considerate individuals you will meet. Right away, you can tell they love animals. We are very picky with who we leave our dogs with, but we had no concern leaving them with James. They undated us everyday and even took amazing pictures of our dogs. They are such an active couple which our dogs appreciated as they love long walks. We are forever grateful for the kindness and love this family showed to our family. Wouldn’t hesitate to choose them again. Actually, I will always choose then when I can! ❤️

Information James S. would like to know about your pet
I will want to know what the medical needs of your pet. I’ll ask about how they are physically (long walks, short walks, no walks) and well as how they are socially with other dogs, people and children. I will want to know there daily routine to ensure we are a good fit.
A typical day
I enjoy suburban walks, city strolls, and country hikes. I enjoy being outdoors and working in my garden. I also like to linger over coffee in the morning. All means there are plenty of opportunities for your pet to hang out with me.
