“James is both a responsible and caring pet sitter & dog walker. James is great with animals and not only provides great care but goes the extra mile to understand pets and their needs. He has taken care of our family dog Riley for years. We needed some extra help when we first got Riley as a puppy and James has been a great help. Even when Riley was a puppy and not well trained, James had a lot of patience with Riley and has always been flexible to dog sit or walk him when we need. He is super responsible and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as a pet sitter or dog walker!”
