Pet care experience

Lifelong pet lover & crazy cat man

I have been fortunate enough to care for many, many wonderful pups of different breeds, sizes, temperaments and needs for as long as I have been old enough to do so. I have spent most of my time with rescue dogs who were adopted at various ages from very young to well into maturity, and love working with all breeds and types of dogs :)

Safety, trust & environment

I always do my best to make other peoples' pets feel as much like they're still being taken care of just as they would if their owners were home, and always will put your pet's safety, security and happiness above all. For walking and drop-in visits, we can easily work out the nature of your pets' needs via a meet and greet before the first visit, and you are always welcome to send me your concerns, requests and any information you want at any time afterwards. For house sitting, I will present you with a care plan detailing when and how long I plan to be with your pets and what I expect to do while I'm there, and will invite you to make any changes, additions or requests you may wish to make before the sitting visit begins. Everything is flexible and I am always most interested in making sure you have peace of mind and that your pets are happy and safe!

James too great care of our cats while we were away for a week. The house was clean and the cats were very calm when we returned.

I couldn't have asked for a better person to take care of Toby and Tigger. Care love and time. James went above and beyond. I appreciate everything he did for my babies. I had total peace of mind while I was traveling. Thank you James.

Whenever James has taken care of my two little dogs he has been very sweet, loving, responsible in taking care of them. I would recommend him in taking care of anyone’s pets.

James took care of my kitties for a week and did a fantastic job with them. He loved and played with them each visit and cleaned up each visit which made it so nice when I returned that I didn’t have to worry about that. I recommend him watching any and all fur babies and will have him take care of mine every time we need someone. 😊

I will probably ask about this during the meet and greet after ive met your pets and had a chance to formulate specific questions, but always feel free to tell me anything you think I should know about your pets in particular, as I always take the owners' recommendations into consideration first before my own.
