Letting you travel without worries

Pet care experience

I love dogs. Unfortunately, as a student, I cannot have one for myself because of housing issues. I have been taking care of pets through Rover for five years now, it's a fantastic way to get my "dog fix" and help the owner at the same time. My goal when taking on the responsibility of caring for your loved ones is to make sure that you are both as comfortable as possible while you are apart. I will do whatever is necessary to achieve this from walking your dog three times a day to waking up at three AM to let them out to the yard. I have had a lot of experience working with different types of dogs with varying breeds and training styles. My girlfriend and I (look her up for some reviews on our services, her name is Reha, in Fullerton near Euclid and the 91) have been working in the Orange county area. Now that I am attending UCSB, we decided to set up a Rover here as well. Our key is ensuring we connect with the pets, so that even though their favorite people are away on Holiday, their second favorite people are still there taking care of them. I always make sure to spend as much time with the pets as possible to create that bond. Another feature I provide is flexibility, be it in scheduling, payment, or care for your pet.

Happy dog, happy owner. James and Rhea took excellent, thoughtful care of my dog and left my home better than they found it.

James was wonderful. We have only had our chocolate lab, Finn, for 7 months. Therefore, we were a little concerned about leaving him for the first time for a month long trip out of the country. James came over to meet James and we could see that Finn was very comfortable with him. James also came to walk Finn a couple times before we actually left for our trip. Seeing Finn interact with James made our trip less stressful. We would certainly recommend James and would definitely have him watch Finn again. We were so lucky to find James through Rover.com
