James is definitely an animal person and REALLY shines when it comes to pet care. He is overflowing with compassion and enthusiasm for both cats and dog (and not afraid of clean up.) Canines and felines are different in many ways. Luckily, I've had the pleasure of watching him interact with BOTH but was most impressed with how gently he presented himself with my rescue dog "Luna," upon their first meeting. Animals aside, human-to-human, he is extremely friendly, humorous, and articulate. Can't think of a better sitter!!
