Pet care experience
All-round animal lover ready for your fury friend!
An animal lover since I can remember. When I was a child, I was the one in the family who was obsessed with animals; from having as many pets as I could, visiting family members to play with theirs, watching animal documentaries and begging to go to an animal sanctuary every week. Since I was about 13, I’ve looked after family member pets, from dogs to parrots. When I was 16, I became a co-parent of a gorgeous springer spaniel named Alfie and that’s where my love and devotion to dogs started. Say hello to them in the park, watching Paul O’gradys for the love of dogs and taking care of my Aunties Kings Charles spaniel on weekends when they were at work, I’m pretty much dog crazy! I’ve experienced and looked after all sorts of breeds with all sorts of temperaments, challenges, and needs. I felt, therefore, that offering dog services would be a great way for me to offer help with my experience but also fulfil my love for doggies – a win win! I work from home 9-5 Monday to Friday with lots of availability throughout the day and later in evenings, as well as most weekends being at home too so can arrange my schedule according to your needs. I listen carefully to pets needs and your expectations and offer all the care your dog could need. Dog-walks, dog-sitting and pop-ins is what I’d love to offer at the moment, with hopes to expand to own-home care once a relationship is built with you and your VID (very-important-doggy).
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Respect is key - I treat any pet like my own and any home even better than my own! It’s important to get an idea of expectations and boundaries within your home and with your pet and I will always make sure I stick with these. My day job requires organisation, communication and trust, and i delivery this within these interactions too.
Ratings and reviews
James was brilliant with my twin boys. It was the 1st time they were staying away from home and they settled in really well. I would highly recommend James as a carer for your furry friends.
Very happy with leaving mr socks with James. He took very good care of him and sent us regular pictures and updates. Would recommend
James was attentive, reliable, and treated my pup like his own—sending regular updates that put me completely at ease while I was away. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and will definitely be booking with James again. Highly recommend!
I had an incredible experience boarding my cat at James’s house! From the moment I dropped him off, I could tell he was in caring and capable hands. I received regular updates, including pictures, showing how comfortable and happy she was. It’s clear that James genuinely loves animals and goes above and beyond to make them feel at home. My cat came back relaxed and content—I couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”
James did a great job looking after Piper for the weekend. Communication was great, with arranging the stay and organising pickup and drop off and it sounds like Piper had a great time when we left her!
This is the second time that James has catsit for us and we can't recommend him enough! James is fantastic with our cat Blossom, and is very reliable and trustworthy. It's always a weight off our shoulders knowing that Blossom is in such safe hands with James!

Schedule
As mentioned, I work 9-5 Mon-Fri and have a very loose schedule at work, so have the ability to be out and about throughout the day. I am also free most evenings and weekends to attend to your pets needs.
