Love & care should never be rare!

Pet care experience

Growing up with an English setter, a cockatiel, and then a pit mix, I learned the routines of pet care early on. My sister & I shared responsibility for feeding & watering them as kids. Walking the pups on our often muddy dirt road made regular bathing a must. Both dogs had great reserves of energy that could only be expended by outdoor play, and I grew to love tiring them out with fetch & tugs-of-war. Now that I'm older, I have an instant rapport with most animals and an uncanny ability to communicate and earn their respect. I've also now had a cat for 2+ years so I'm well familiar with caring for and playing with kitties as well!

Today was my first time using Rover. Brin goes everywhere with me, so I have never had a need. I came down with Covid on Friday and he hasn't had a walk since Thursday. I wasn't sure I could get anyone to walk him on short notice, but I reached out, hoping. James and I determined a protocol for him to pick up Brin without being exposed. Brin was skittish at first, James took his time and gave him time to adjust. They went for a one-hour walk and he is now a very happy pup. James sent pictures of their time together. He was professional and very nice. He let me know that once they were on their walk, Brin did well. Thank you James for helping me during this time of sickness and for giving Brin what he needed. I recommend James and would definitely use him again.

James is great with pets of all kinds! He has experience with dogs, cats and birds. He is reliable and communicative, quick to respond and is my go-to for last minute requests. He truly loves animals and always sends me great updates and pics of my dog whenever I’m away.

James is the best! He is a true animal lover and they love him back! He is caring, professional, reliable, and extremely communicative. He always sends tons of pictures when he's taking care of my pets. It's so comforting to have such a trustworthy caretaker when I'm not around so I don't have to worrying about my babies. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for pet care.
