Pet care experience

Friendly neighborhood pet lover💖

I've been taking care of pets my whole life, from rabbits to dogs to cats to the occasional bird. Recently I have helped give insulin shots to my friend's cat several times. I really love spending time with animals and learning their nonverbal communication signals. The only risk is that I might fall too in love with your pet(sl!

I was lucky to find James on Rover. He accepted my last minute urgent situation and kindly provided excellent sitting and care for my little Papillon. Extended his time and services to get dog food and treats while I was gone all week. He is someone to trust and I recommend him !!! Denise P.

My go-to to watch my dog Eddie. James is a real pet lover, and it shows in the care giving to the animals. Highly recommended!

James is a lover of animals, and our pets love him too. He is a responsible caretaker, he knows how to keep animals safe and happy, and we've never had a problem with him.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pet door leading to the backyard. My yard is walled off and also has chicken wire around the top to prevent cats from jumping the fence. I have a big open living room for pets to hang out in, or I can keep them in my room if a pet needs privacy.

Pets

A typical day

I love playing fetch with my dog, or watching him run around the backyard with the cats. I also love just couch rotting and watching TV with pets.

Please give me as much information as possible about any medications, dietary restrictions, or other special needs your pet might have. I'm great at taking notes and following instructions!
