Safety, trust & environment

We have a “dog garden” area that is usually used as their bathroom. There is also a second dog space and park nearby. Due to being in the city centre and the style of the spaces we do not typically let dogs off leash when outside. There are also lots of dogs in the apartment building so plenty of opportunities for puppy socialising.

The third time Kaya has stayed with James and Soomin, but the first time for a long time! Kaya really loves her new aunt and uncle now and I actually think she was a bit sad when she came home! She was away from us for 5 days whilst we went on holiday and James and Soomin treated her with the utmost care and love. They also provided brilliant updates every day. We won’t look anywhere else for a sitter now. Thanks again to James and Soomin!

James and his partner are fantastic sitters who were caring, communicative and flexible throughout our dog’s stay. We’d happily book with them again!

James and Soomin are absolutely wonderful and provided us with all the updates we could have asked for. They made such an effort to make sure Kaya was comfortable and are super knowledgeable when it comes to looking after dogs. They clearly care very much! Kaya will be back soon ❤️

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.
