Spirit animal is golden retriever

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I got my first dog when I was a kid (passed sadly) but I’m an animal lover through and through and will treat your pet the same way I would treat mine and I’ll make sure to communicate with you.

James did a great job watching my dog Lily for the day. He was very communicative, sent good updates, and was flexible. Lily came home and immediately went to nap so I know she had a fun time!

James was a pleasure to deal with and took wonderful care of Niko. He is great with communication & photos so there was no stress or wondering how our pup was doing. We would be happy to book with him again.

Absolutely FANTASTIC service from James. From meeting up beforehand and bonding with Radar quickly to doing everything I needed for both animals and more - 100% recommend working with James!

James did a great job with our young, anxious, and high energy dog. Our dog was very comfortable in his house and yard. James was mindful of the triggers that make him anxious while still providing ways for him to get him energy out. Would definitely recommend James for any sitting needs.

Information James S. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know if the dog is friendly with other dogs and people. It’s important for me to know what to look out for so I can plan and execute accordingly. I’d rather know the worst case scenario so I’m ready for it. Please let me know about any allergies or dietary restrictions.

A typical day

I love going for long walks and hikes with dogs. I’ve been known to enjoy playing fetch almost as much as the dogs! Typical day is taking a walk early in the morning to get the day started, lunch in the backyard to play fetch or soak up some rays, and then dinner with a walk before bed!
