Here to make your time away stress free!

38, Architect

As a self-employed Architect and Builder I understand the importance of being organized, reliable, professional, and honest. My work patterns mean that I typically wfh several days a week, with a few days on-site or teaching thrown in.

I am experienced with animal care, having always grown up surrounded by pets such as dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds, fish, axolotls, bearded dragons, and many more... I would love to have my own, but as I am currently transitioning back into Sydney after studying and working in the U.S.A., looking after yours is a great interim solution.

I am a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and do my best to stay fit and active. In my spare time I enjoy exploring the city, wandering galleries, chipping away at my never-ending pile of books to read, and working on side projects.

Whether you are curious to know more, or think I might be a great fit for your needs, please reach out!

James was a superb house sitter. We found the place immaculate on our return, and a pleasure to come home to. He was prompt in responding whenever we needed to contact him, and very clearly conveyed to us whatever information we were seeking. We have no hesitation in recommending him highly to anyone seeking a tidy, responsible, personable house-sitter.
 
ALEX (Castlecrag NSW, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks)
James was an awesome house/pet sitter! It being our 1st sit, we were nervous but James put us completely at ease. In the run up to our trip, there was lots of communication and even visited to introduce himself to our 3 cats. During the sit he answered quickly to our messages & sent photos of the cats. Our cats warmed to him (which is not easy with our rescues) they were well looked after, fed and happy. On our return the apartment was immaculate (probably cleaner than it’s ever ... MORE
 
AMI (Kogarah NSW, Aug 2024 - 3 weeks)
James did a great job looking after our house for seven week.. He left the house in great condition (even with a lovely bunch of flowers!). Communication was even and I would not hesitate recommending him to others.
 
INGRID (Coogee NSW, Jun 2024 - 1 month 3 weeks)
James is the perfect house sitter. Seriously. Professional, respectful and punctual. He looked after the house and dogs so well. It was immaculate when we go home and the dogs were glowing. I would 100% ask him to sit again. Such a lovely guy to boot!
 
LUCINDA (Cremorne Point NSW, Jan 2024 - 5 nights)
James was an excellent house sitter. Clear communications and he even stayed longer than planned as we needed to extend our trip unexpectedly. We would recommend him without reservation, and we are having him back next month!
 
VANESSA (Double Bay NSW, Dec 2023 - 3 weeks)
James was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He was timely, courteous, professional and he left the house in an immaculate condition. I highly recommend him. Thank you James!
 
STUART (Paddington NSW, Aug 2023 - Five days)
We recently travelled overseas for 5 weeks and asked James to house sit/look after our English Staffy, Marley. Prior to this trip, we met James at a local park, at our home and made a plan for James to look after Marley over a weekend to see if they were a good fit for one another. Marley is our pride and joy, she is a dog who has a huge amount of energy and also experinces anxiety and is medicated. James was a perfect fit for Marley, he is patient and kind, was alway responsive and kept in ... MORE
 
JASE AND AMANDA (Marrickville NSW, Jun 2023 - 1 month 1 week)
James was very personable and easy to communicate with and looked after my dog, Kelly, house and garden really well and with no issues. It was great to be away knowing that I could rely on James to look after Kelly and my house. I would definitely recommend James to anyone looking for someone they can rely on.
 
KAREN (Clovelly NSW, May 2023 - 4 weeks)
James was the perfect house-sitter! I arrived home to a spotless house and a very happy dog. I was a little nervous about leaving my dog as he has had some recent health issues, but I felt very comfortable having James look after him. Communicating with James in the lead-up to the sit was a breeze and he also kept in touch while I was away. I would not hesitate to recommend James as a house-sitter and would love to have him stay again.
 
ZANE (Erskineville NSW, Feb 2023 - 5 days)
James is a dream sitter; I don't have enough words to express how wonderful it was having him take care of our cats and home while we were away. Our cats don't warm to everyone, but were completely comfortable around James, and I dare say missed him when he was gone. James came over and spent some time with us before we left and was excellent with the cats, giving them space, but letting them know a chin scratch was available if they wanted it. Communication was fantastic, and I was actually ... MORE
 
EDWARD (Kensington NSW, Feb 2023 - 3 weeks)
James was amazing. He made sure we met before we left, getting to know our critters and our preferences for house and pet care. He kept in constant communication throughout his stay, allowing us to relax and enjoy our holiday without worry. We came home to a sparkling house and very happy critters. I'd highly recommend James!
 
BEC (Lewisham NSW, Dec 2022 - 6 weeks)
James did an excellent job. The house was very clean and tidy on our return and the garden was in good shape. He looked after our menagerie very well, which included dogs, chickens, birds and fish, quite a responsibility! He is a good communicator and responded quickly whenever we made contact. James is very responsible and we would highly recommend him to others.
 
MARILYN (Katoomba NSW, Nov 2022 - Almost three weeks)
I have no hesitation in recommending James. He was a pleasure to deal with from the minute we connected on this site to post-leaving our house. Anika (our dog) loved him to bits and the house am pretty sure was left tidier than when we left. ;-0 James - thank you so much. You are welcome back anytime. :)
 
ELANA (Castlecrag NSW, Oct 2022 - 4 days)
James was amazing! I went away interstate for 3 weeks and could not have asked for a better house and cat sitter! From the moment James emailed enquiring about the stay he was polite and always responded promptly. During my holiday James provided regular updates which was great. I came home to an impeccably clean house and 2 very happy cats! James left a beautiful bunch of flowers and chocolates which was a sweet surprise. Would definitely recommend James for any house waiting jobs!
 
MEGAN (Denham Court NSW, Oct 2022 - 3 weeks)
We were very fortunate to have James pet sit for us in our unit for two weeks looking after our four cats. We found him to be a very friendly, polished and well educated person and felt immediately at ease with him when we met him. James responded to our emails we sent every 3 or 4 days while overseas just to make sure everything was good. Our unit was pristine on our return. We would highly recommend him to you as a pet/house sitter and hope we can entice him back again for a future stay. ... MORE
 
TERRY (North Narrabeen NSW, Sep 2022 - 2 weeks 1 day)
James was responsible, had good communication and he left my apt sparkling clean when he left.
 
ANNABEL (Maroubra NSW, Aug 2022 - 4 weeks)
James was the perfect find for our house-sit. A calm nature that perfectly suited our nervous cat, while an obvious eagerness to pat the more confident puss. Our home was super tidy when we returned and the bedding washed. It was as if we'd only been out of the house for a few hours rather than a few days. Would definitely consider James again to watch over our babies.
 
GAIL (Marrickville NSW, Jul 2022 - 3 days)
Thanks Gail :)
It was a real pleasure having James stay in our apartment and look after Otto. He communicated very well. Very happy to recommend him as a friendly pet sitter.
