My experience

1 years

Except for growing up with a cat, I’ve only actually owned a pet. At least partly because I’ve never really been settled anywhere for long enough. Well, I was once for 10 years but I never thought I was going to be, it just became that, and

I cannot fault James at all. We communicated easily beforehand and he was incredibly respectful. James didn’t have an easy time with our dog Peggy as she had

James took good care of our cat Tommy while we were away, despite Tommy being quite wary of him. It was good that James spent some days at home keeping

James is a caring and conscientious person. I've known him for some years as one of a group of friends I holiday with. He enjoys travel but is also a reliable worker. He would take great care of other people's pets and properties. On several occasions he has stayed with my Golden Retriever (on holiday and at my home) and I noticed how well he interacted with her, playing games with her, as well as being able to confidently take her on walks and handle her well. I introduced James to our herd of alpacas and invited him to come on a trek with them. He proved a very good alpaca handler and obviously enjoyed and bonded with his alpaca.
