Highlights
Pet care experience
Beagle Dad & Creative Caregiver
I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family.

I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.
Ratings and reviews
We are so appreciative of James! We highly recommend him. We requested him at a time we needed someone to care for our little young puppy and James connected with our pup immediately, and keep us updated! We were very pleased with him and would 100% book with him again!
James was super easy to work with and he was very sweet towards my old man “Ruxin.” We were only away for a short time but James was available and able and we are so fortunate to have him at our home. He left the house in great condition and even better…we returned to a happy and healthy hound❤️. Thank you James for your reliability, communication and love of pets!
Always happy to have James come back, he is responsible, caring and really goes above and beyond so we feel safe leaving our dogs and home in good hands!
James was wonderful! He kept us updated the entire time and left our home spotless. We would love to have him watch our dogs again in the future!
James has always had such a special connection with animals, especially his sweet dog Patti. The love, patience, and care he gives her says everything about the kind of pet caregiver he is. He’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely treats pets like family. I would trust him wholeheartedly with any animal, knowing they’d be safe, loved, and spoiled with attention. Any pet owner would be lucky to have James caring for their furry friend!
