Elite Dog Daycare & Boarding

Hi there! I'm James, your go-to professional dog sitter with years of hands-on experience delivering the absolute best care on Rover. Exciting news: I'm now offering premium doggy daycare and boarding! Your pup will get spoiled rotten in a fun, safe home environment with:At least two daily 30–45 minute walks (one always off-leash on scenic trails for that pure joy zoomies run!) Tons of outdoor playtime in my fully fenced front AND back yard—perfect for fetch, lounging in the sun, or just sniffing every blade of grass. Endless love and attention from me... plus two furry friends who are pros at making new pals feel right at home! Meet my crew: Dora, my sweet 4-year-old small Lab (48 lbs)—super well-trained, gentle with everyone, and adored by dogs and people alike. She's the ultimate welcoming ambassador! Mouffy, my cheeky 6-year-old male Havanese with a huge personality—full of charm, playfulness, and just the right amount of sass to keep things lively. I treat every dog like my own—tail-wagging adventures, cozy naps, photo updates so you never miss a moment, and peace of mind knowing they're happy, exercised, and loved 24/7. I'd love to chat about your pup's routine, favorite toys, and how I can make their stay unforgettable. Drop me a message—let's get your best friend booked into the VIP treatment they deserve! Can't wait to meet you (and your furry VIP), James

Safety, trust & environment

The dogs are my number 1 priority when I look after them. I "treat" them as if I owned them and provide plenty of love and time with them.

James is exceptionally easy to work with and a great communicator. My dog loved going over for dog-sitting and was tuckered out when she came home! His own dogs are very sweet. Would definitely use again!

James was absolutely awesome with our much older dog, Rue. He and his dog Dora made sure that Rue had tons of attention, fun, tlc, and the medication that she requires. Rue was super happy and energetic when we returned home. She really enjoyed her walks with Dora. We found James on short notice, and he is our first Rover sitter . He was very responsive to all our communication and helped us navigate some of the idiosyncrasies in the Rover. We will definitely seek out James again, the next time we need a dog sitter

James looked after our two dogs, and cat in our home for two days and one night. He was able to accommodate us with short notice which was very much appreciated. He was excellent with the pets, and was very respectful of our home. We look forward to working with him again in the future!

James has taken care of our dogs 3 times now, and every time, it has been an amazing experience. Him and Dora (his adorable lab), are the perfect companions for when we’re out of town. James is responsible, great with both our dogs (they’re different sizes and ages), he’s kept our place super clean, and sends us daily updates of their walks & play time. We really could not recommend him more, he’s as trustworthy as they come, and a great guy.

I am good with all types of dogs. I have house sat multiple dogs quite often. I do puppies (just raised mine) and the oldest dog I house sat was 16! The more info you provide the better though. I take the time to meet the owner and the dog(s) before the sit sometimes multiple times.
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.
