Flexible and Reliable Pet Sitting

I will care for your pet exactly the way you would like them to be treated. In my experience, pets that are shy or perhaps less friendly to people find themselves to be comfortable in my lap. I have 2 cats thats Ive looked after at home for years now, Eli and Abu! They are amazing but unfortunately they are the reason that I am unable to accept Dog Boarding sittings because of their territorial nature! At this point I've walked dogs of all sizes from tiny to more than I weigh, these experiences have allowed me to be able to handle care for all types of dogs! Whether it be giving pills or lotion or ear drops i can do it, only i’m not qualified to work with a needle. I do pet sitting full-time! My schedule is completely open minus a few weekly walks so just ask! I have been doing Rover for 2 years! I started up in Bellingham as a student at WWU and enjoying life since! I am always happy to see your pets :) On top of my history with pets I just love them dearly because they love all of us unconditionally and i wish to reflect that upon them. Its why I am here to dog sit! Just ask for a meet and greet! I look forward to meeting you and your furiends!

My pets are very simple. Heathy cats and fish. But my little Izzie gets nervous if she feels abandoned, and then she eats too fast, and pukes...well. You get the idea. I have never, never seen her so happy after a long trip. Whatever James did was PURE MAGIC. He sent me pictures of my little girl curled up in his lap, or madly playing chase. Each time he sent a note about how he sensed she wanted something and then he gave it to her. He took the extra step to truly see my pet. I am so blessed to have found a sitter who really wants to learn how to care for those around him. I will definitely be using him again!

I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! He took amazing care of my dogs for three days and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. He sent me photos and updates every day, which meant so much and reassured me that my dogs were happy and well cared for. When I returned home, everything was spotless. He even washed the bed sheets from the room he stayed in and made sure everything was clean before he left. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about both the pets and the homes he looks after. He was reliable, thoughtful, respectful, and went above and beyond my expectations. I would absolutely trust him with my dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter .

James communicated and sent pics of our dogs daily. James did a great job. My house was clean and tidy and wash bedding and made the bed. Thank you James for a great job

James watched my furry kids and he was great. I was very nervous as this is the first time I've hired someone to watch them in my home and not at daycare. However, James put my mind at ease by sending me updates and pictures.. He engaged with my animals and made them them feel very comfortable while I was away. And James was 100% professional while staying in my home.

Important information to know about any pet I'm going to sit is, their potty schedule, any medications they take, allergies, tendencies of violence or seclusion, and anything that would be abnormal to see in other dogs really.
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.
