Hi, I'm James Cook.
I live in Sydney, Australia with my girlfriend Jude, our golden retriever Percy, and my dog Whiskey — a cocker spaniel with idiopathic epilepsy. Managing his condition means multiple medications a day, and every time we go away, whoever looks after him needs to know exactly what to do.
I used to write pages of instructions before every trip. GotIt Guides is those pages turned into something a sitter can actually follow: one clear, living guide, shared with a single link. I run it myself and read every piece of feedback personally.
Questions, worries, or just want to check there's a real person here? Email me — jamescook@gotitguides.com.
Your guides are yours.
Private by default
Guides are unlisted: they never show up in Google or any other search, and they aren't listed anywhere on this site. Anyone with the link can open them unless you add a guide code.
Lock anything sensitive
Add a guide code and the contents are encrypted on your device before they're stored — we couldn't read them if we tried. Only the guide's name stays visible, so the right person knows what they've received.
No ads, no trackers
No ad networks, no tracking pixels, and your data is never sold or shared for marketing. Our only analytics is an anonymous counter — which pages get viewed and roughly where visitors arrive from — never who you are.
We only know what you tell us
You don't need an account to create or view a guide. We only hold your email if you give it to us — to send you your guide links, sign in with Google, or join the updates list.
Stored in Australia
Everything is hosted on Amazon Web Services in Sydney.
Delete anytime
Remove a guide from your dashboard, or email us the link and we'll delete it — no questions asked.
