Pet Lover For Hire (price flexible)

I've personally owned and fostered several dogs, cats, and fish throughout my 24 years of life, and am very knowledgeable and experienced in handling all of their unique needs. I am very organized and detail-oriented and can guarantee that any instructions you have for your pet's care will be followed exactly as requested. I also have local vets and Petsmart on speed dial in the unlikely case of emergency. Beyond being qualified though, I truly love spending time with animals and ensuring they are as happy and healthy as can be! Some people on here are only interested in the money and do the bare minimum, but I can personally guarantee that I will go above and beyond to ensure you and your pet are happy!

James takes such great care of my dog, I think my dog misses James more than me.

James made our first Rover experience sooo easy and comfortable! Great communication, very considerate and friendly. We knew our girls were in good hands! James sent lots of *really* cute photos of the girls and gave us updates and check ins! My very anxious dog was so relaxed and calm with James! I didn’t worry for a second! Came home to a nice, calm, clean house. Very grateful for our experience and couldn’t recommend James more!

James went over and above the call of duty!!! Not only did he save me from a horrible sitter but treated by dog like a queen!!! I can't thank Rover and James enough for saving my trip.

James was an incredible sitter! Responded quickly when arranging his stay with our dog and helped us out in a time of need. James is extremely kind and our dog is obsessed with him. Would love to have him back!

James is a wonderful and considerate young man. He adores dogs and is very responsible. James is very affectionate and has a lot of energy to play games and can slow down to be very considerate of older dogs. He has been around dogs of multiple sizes and breeds his entire life.
