About James W.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can respond quickly to stress, discomfort, or excitement. I also give regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Information James W. would like to know about your pet

I prefer playful and high energy dogs. I do a lot of activity on a regular basis and am quite in shape so I can keep up very well. And I love giving and receiving that kind of energy.

A typical day

I love playing catch, tug of war, tag, light wrestling (if they initiate). All of it. Playfulness is my favorite part of a relationship with a pet.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs: Snickers was my first dog. Then Boaz & Ruth. Finally Samson. I have two cats now and I love them. I'm new to the app for now but I've pet sat for several of my friends and I take very good care of my own pets.

James was super friendly and my dog absolutely loved him. He definitely has a way with pets. I booked a dog walk with James and he went above and beyond in addition to walking him, he played fetch with him and brushed his hair as well making it much more enjoyable to pet him afterwards (his hair was nappy beforehand). We had one very happy and well behaved dog after the time James spent with him. I highly recommend James for any pet care!

He has taken care of our cat Jiji very well! Our cat 🐱 is deaf and does not use a regular litter box (he uses pee pads). James follows instructions to take care of our special little boy very well. We also have a pet parakeet which he has taken care of on occasion as well.

James is a very responsible, and loving pet owner. I've seen him interact with his own animals, and I know I could completely trust him with my own. I would highly recommend James to love, and care for your animals.

James is a loving and responsible pet parent. He has a knack for making animals comfortable and has been able to earn the trust of many a shy cat. He is able to find the perfect balance of firm and playful with animals and is respectful and responsible for their homes, environments, and needs. He will love your pet and take joy in keeping it happy and healthy while in his care.
