James and his wife were wonderful for my dog Rosie. She loved staying with them and they said she was a very good girl. James only watches one dog at a time. That's great for Rosie, because she loved all the attention. I can't wait to have them watch her again. They are my go-to puppy sitters.

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.
