Pet care experience

Trustworthy & Reliable Care

I’ve been sitting dogs and cats on Rover with my partner for 4 years. I’ve worked with all manner of pets and try to treat each of them as individuals. I was raised with pets my whole life and will always have a dog around so long as I can care for them. I also love cats and am happy to take care of them as well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been caring for pets on Rover with my partner for many years. Whatever your pet needs, I make sure to give individualized care as per your instructions. I take the needs of your pet to heart and treat them with the attention they deserve. I know leaving your pets with someone is scary experience. I’ll be sure you are kept up to date with communication and photos to help ease any anxieties you may have.

James is my go-to when I need help with my little Boston terrier. Pepper comes back so incredibly happy and tuckered out after every walk. It's a beautiful thing. Thank you James!

Dog Walking • May 08, 2026

James is amazing! You can tell he really enjoys walking dogs. Very professional, good communication, on time. Pepper came back from his walk super happy and ready for more fun. Highly recommend and would call on him again in a heartbeat.

James is a wonderful dog sitter, and my dogs immeasurably trusted him and loved him. He's very reliable and responsive. Our home was always left clean and tidy after over night visits. I would recommend him to anyone!

Schedule

I currently travel to and from Ithaca each day for work. My schedule is very flexible as I make my own schedule as a new tattoo artist on the Commons. While I build up my clientele, I’m looking to do dog walks or drop-ins, regular basis or one-time to help supplement my income.

James can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
