About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, including my own rescue dog. I’m calm, attentive, and know how to approach shy or anxious pets with patience. I understand different needs, from playful puppies to quiet seniors and always make sure each dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walking, administering meds, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care has been a part of my life for many years, and it fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work from home, which allows me to provide flexible scheduling and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. Spending time with animals brings me genuine joy, and I take every pet’s care seriously. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and stress free environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and any special instructions. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

About: I grew up with every type of animal in my house. I’m very comfortable caring for puppies and senior dogs. As a pet mom myself I’ll treat your baby like my own and keep you updated throughout every visit! I’m currently working a 9-5. I am fully available after work hours and before. I work from home on Fridays so am available then as well. Fully available for your pet on weekends Will send you updates throughout the whole visit, very comfortable meeting your pets needs whether that’s out in the park or staying home and playing, whatever you need I will provide!

About: I am a mental health therapist and a cat mom of three cats: a 10 year old domestic longhair and two Devon Rex cats. Caring for cats is part of my daily life, and I understand that every cat has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I have experience caring for senior cats, administering oral medications, monitoring appetite and litter box habits, and providing detailed updates to owners. I am patient, observant, and attentive to small changes in behavior that others might miss. My goal is not just to feed and clean up after your cat, but to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I care for my own three cats every day. My schedule is flexible, and I work primarily by appointment, which allows me to reliably accommodate drop in visits throughout the week. I am used to feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and spending quality time with cats every day. Whether your cat prefers playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I am happy to adapt to their needs and routine. I only provide drop in visits in the client’s home. During each visit, I follow your pet’s routine for feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I pay close attention to cleanliness, safety, and any changes in behavior or appetite. I always make sure everything is left tidy and secure, and I provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs my entire life and friends and family have always trusted me to look after their pets. I currently have two cats, including one who was once semi-feral and has successfully transitioned to living a happy indoor life, giving me experience with pets of all personalities. I treat every animal with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I’d want for my own pets. Because I work a hybrid schedule that’s primarily remote, I have the flexibility to stop by throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or just some extra company. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, maintain their routine, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Animals have been part of my daily life and family for as long as I can remember, shaped by growing up in a household deeply immersed in animal care alongside a veterinary technician brother. Beyond my lifelong background with family pets and caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which has made me exceptionally vigilant with medical needs, medication administration, and mobility support, I bring professional, hands-on experience working in 24/7 in-home dog boarding. Because of this, I am thoroughly experienced in caring for dogs across every stage of life, from high-energy puppies needing constant patience to senior dogs requiring gentle handling and tailored routines. I know how to read canine body language, manage diverse care requirements smoothly, and provide a safe, nurturing environment where every guest feels completely at home. Animal care is literally my full-time lifestyle and daily routine. By day, I work full-time in a professional 24/7 in-home dog boarding facility, managing canine routines, feeding, and care around the clock. Outside of work, my entire routine is centered around my pets—including caring for my own 5-year-old Dachshund with IVDD, which requires a vigilant eye, specialized medical attention, and dedicated mobility management. Because my professional and personal life are already completely immersed in round-the-clock animal supervision, your pet will seamlessly integrate into a structured, attentive, and permanently occupied home environment where someone is always present, engaged, and attuned to their needs. Safety, cleanliness, and responsibility are my absolute top priorities. Because I work professionally in 24/7 in-home boarding and manage a dog with specialized medical needs like IVDD, my home is kept impeccably clean, secure, and entirely dog-proofed. I maintain strict routines around feeding, medication schedules, and environmental safety to ensure hazards are completely eliminated. Every guest is closely supervised, given a secure and comfortable space to rest, and treated with meticulous care so pet parents can have total peace of mind knowing their companion is in a safe, hygienic, and responsible hands-on environment.

“James takes superb care of my rescue pup. She is skittish, but sweet. He knows exactly how to help her feel safe. He goes above and beyond. I never worry when I leave her with James.”
