Pet care experience

I love animals

I have taken care of animals all my life for friends and family. Never had a dog only b/c my mom is allergic to them. But I have walked dogs with a friend in high school and taken care of dogs/cats for friends while they have been away. I’m an engineer in New York just trying to help people out and provide good service! I treat the pets as if they were my own. I respect the home and leave everything as I found it and follow rules left behind for me. I would respect the home as my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own and as if their owner were present with me! I would never do something that I wouldn’t do to my own pet or with their owner present.

James was amazing, very responsible and thoughtful. He was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell Maya enjoyed being with him when I came home based on how calm she was.

James looked after our lovely cat so well. He sent detailed updates and was very responsive. He also left our flat in great condition. We’d highly recommend him and have already rebooked him for our next trip out of town. Thanks James!

My pets are my children, I only trust the best to care for them, and James is my go-to person. From the moment he meets your pet, he will treat them with the love and care that he would treat his own pets with. Leaving for a week is no longer as stressful, because I know that both my cats and dog will always be safe in his care. I am so thankful to have meet James, and have someone I know I can rely on to care for my pets.

James watches our dog usually once a month and Bane is always so happy to see him. James is communicative, timely, flexible, and genuinely enjoys the time he gets to spend with Bane. He always follows the instructions we leave behind and even goes above and beyond to do extras we didn’t ask for like long walks, brushings, and even helping Bane with his training. We love James and there are few others we would trust with Bane!
