Pet care experience

Loving, reliable dog care 🐾

Hi, I’m James! I'm Los Angeles based Brit, working in music. I’m a dependable, caring dog sitter who treats every pet like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or quiet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and detail-oriented, especially when it comes to feeding routines, medications, exercise needs, and each dog’s unique personality. I’m happy to provide frequent photo updates so you always know your pup is doing well. My Experience I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including energetic puppies, senior dogs, shy pups, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I understand how important consistency and trust are, and I’ll follow your instructions closely. What You Can Expect Your dog will get loving attention, fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos during each visit or stay. Why Choose Me I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely love animals. My goal is to give your dog a happy experience and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

James is the best! It was our first time leaving our rescue sheepdog with a sitter and she seemed so incredibly happy in his care. We got lots of photos and our girl was always smiling. He took her on hikes and she got so much love from James and his friends. Could not recommend him more.

James was great with Zac and made everything easy and stress free. I really appreciated the care, communication, and attention he gave during the stay. Would definitely book with him again. 😊

James helped me tremendously with a short notice Day care request. He is prompt answering messages and very attentive. My 1-year-old Belgian malinois can be a handful but James made me feel at ease and confident that Kendra was in good hands! In my eyes he's a 10 star rating, I highly recommend him.
