Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Caring Pet Lover
I grew up with dogs and raised my kids with both dogs and cats, so I've experienced every stage of pet ownership - from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets needing extra gentle care. I understand the routines, quirks, and needs that come with different ages and personalities. What I bring to caring for your pet: * Experience with both dogs and cats - I know dogs thrive on routine and activity, while cats need a quieter, more respectful approach to their space. * Calm, patient approach - I'm comfortable with pets who have anxiety, need medication, or have specific routines they depend on. * Reliable communication - I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you never wonder how your pet is doing. * Flexible schedule - I work remotely, so I can be present throughout the day. Your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I'm at a point in my life where I have the time and desire to give your pet the attention they deserve. I'll treat them like family because I know how much they mean to you.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain their normal routine, and keep your home secure. I'm attentive to signs of anxiety or discomfort and will contact you immediately if anything seems off. You'll get regular photo and text updates so you have peace of mind.

Jim is consistently amazing with our kitty!
James was extremely kind and easy to work with! Knox enjoyed his time with James on their walk, which was evident through the pictures and how tired out he was.

Schedule
My schedule is very flexible. I work remotely and set my own hours, so I can easily structure my day around your pet's needs - whether that's morning walks, midday check-ins, or being present throughout the day during house sitting stays. Since my kids are grown, I have the time and freedom to provide attentive, reliable care. Your pet gets my full attention when they need it. I miss having that daily connection with animals and I'm excited to help you and your pet while you're away.
