Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Caregiver

I have been around animals most of my life. I grew up with dogs, birds, and reptiles and understand the importance of quality care. As a teenager I began caring for the pets of friends and family. I also spent a year working as a veterinarian assistant. I have continued to care for pets to this day and truly love doing it. I am also very sensitive to pets’ different temperaments and personalities.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to accommodate both highly energetic and intelligent pets through physical exercise and mental stimulation. Fenced in outdoor areas for energetic dogs are very helpful. I try and stick to the pet's normal walk and feeding times to provide them with the comfort of routine.

My fiancé and I booked James for 8 days to watch both our Cat and Dog! James did an incredible job taking care of our animals following all of our different requests to the letter! We would absolutely recommend James to anyone and will definitely be a re-occurring customer!

James has done a great job walking our two big dogs (husky and a German shep / border collie mix). James puts off great vibes too - when they met him for the first time they warmed up to him immediately

Let me know if the dog has any special needs so that I can prepare ahead of time. I will do my best to accomadate whatever special needs your dog has.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
