James did a fantastic job with our kitties. He communicated well and even made friends with our shy kitty. He went above and beyond, and I noticed he swept up the loose litter without being asked.

We have used James to watch our kitty multiple times and he has been great every time! Will definitely continue to use him in the future!

We always reserve James when we need a pet sitter. We can rely on him to take excellent care of our pets. Updates with pictures are always appreciated.

I never needed a pet sitter before and I was very nervous to leave my 14 year old widowed kitty alone during my trip. Ellie lost her lifelong kitty partner a couple of months ago and I had no idea how she would be without me. It took over a week of persistence for her to even slightly warm up to James, but by the time I returned, he had gotten her to trust him enough to approach him. As far as I am concerned, he was successful and I came home to a healthy little lady who was shy around me for a bit as well. James was great and I couldn’t be happier with his kitty care.

Excellent communication throughout. Impeccable and dedicated care for our cats. James is reliable, trustworthy, and knows cats.

Second time having James watch our cat for us. He does a great job and makes us feel better about leaving our kitty.

James was so kind and gentle with my elderly kitty. She is shy and a bit reserved but after the first day, it was clear she had a bond with and trusted James. He administered her meds without issue and was really great at communicating with us. We will book him again for all our future travel. Highly recommended!!

James did an excellent job playing with my hyper cat and being a steady comfort for my sheer cat. He did a really great job.

James was awesome and did very well bringing my shy kitty out of his shell. He is a great communicator and sends lots of pictures :)

We had to find a cat sitter last minute for the holidays and we are glad we were able to book James. To start off, he was on time and thorough during his meet and greet. James was really good with our kitties while we were gone. He sent a ton of pictures/videos and his updates were extremely detailed. He not only sent updates on our cats and what he was able to accomplish during his visit, but also what his goal/focus was for each visit. He followed our instructions and once something came up, he figured it out and didn’t need any help from us. It was relieving to know that our kitties were in good hands. He is so much of a cat whisperer that he even got our scaredy-cat to eat while we were gone, which is unheard of. Will definitely book James again when we need a cat sitter!

James was flexible with my last minute scheduling and was able to come by and meet my cats ahead of my trip. I was able to get some energy out of my cat and ensure things were still safe at home as I finished up my weekend trip.

James was attentive and kind to my sometimes feisty feline 😼. It felt great knowing my kitty was being cared for so well while I was away!

James is great! always checks in before the trip, confirms any details, and asks for clarity when needed. Lets me know when he’s on his way, when he gets there, and when he leaves. Sends photos and videos, summarizes how the visit went, etc. Great communication! Definitely recommend.

James is phenomenal! my cat is very shy to new people and James put the work and time in and my car Vader felt comfortable and trusted him. Now my shy sweet boy has a new bestie and I’m so thankful! He is the best!

James was a great sitter, very friendly and reliable. We are new to the site and needed a cat sitter over the holidays, James was available and upon meeting him felt it would work out perfectly. He was very accommodating to our last minute travel updates and provided great communication and updates during each house visit. Thank you James!

James comes highly recommended by me and the kitties! He was flexible when weather botched and rearranged our travel plans and he rolled with it and was able to accommodate new dates. We had James come 2x a day to care for our 4 kitties and he always gave detailed notes of in/out times and the food/litter and cat status. He made friends with one of the shy kitties and would send much appreciated photos and videos of the cats at every visit. We felt the babies were in excellent hands and will definitely be using James again next time we travel! :)

James was fantastic. He bonded with our kitty, Joey, and took great care of him while we were out of town. He was great about letting us know each time he visited and sent pictures showing our kitty so we wouldn't worry.

James was wonderful! One of my cats requires daily medicine and he was great with the difficulties that come with that. We loved all the photo and video updates! Will definitely hire again!

Janlmes was great with our kitties! We really appreciate him. He is very attentive and communicative. We also loved the cute videos and pictures he sent!

Thanksgiving sit! A miracle! Professional and easy to work with!

Awesome sitter! Easy to work with and professional!

James is a cat whisperer. At the meet and great he saw my scaredy girl cat but did not approach her. instead he sat on the floor 10 feet away facing slightly away from her and spoke to her in a low voice for awhile, then sat quietly breathing deeply with long blinks. Jackie forgot all about running away and wanted to know more. She's never responded to anyone but me like that before.

James was amazing! He made it so easy to arrange care for my little demon while I was away. Meeting him was a breeze and I really appreciated his detailed updates. Would book again.

Took my reservation during Thanksgiving! Great experience, professional help!
