Pet care experience

Lifelong dog owner and dog lover

I’ve spent my whole life around big dogs and am happy to take care of any breed and temperament. My friends and family have trusted me to pet sit countless times. This has included everything from pop in visits for Bernie the St. Bernard, five mile hikes with Phish the collie, and week long stays with Jaco the boxer. I’m comfortable with all types of dogs and look forward to meeting your pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I’ll always be sure to sure to enter your home with a calm and respectful demeanor, making sure your dog feels comfortable. I’m very experienced walking large dogs and am confident in my ability to keep any dog happy and safe while walking. This includes reading a dogs body language to know when to remove your dog from an unsafe situation.

James is amazing! He walks our dog regularly, and she absolutely loves him. He’s trustworthy, very easy to communicate with, always on time, and extremely responsible. I highly recommend him!

Really appreciate the great communication, punctuality, and flexibility with last-minute availability. James handled my highly energetic and excitable dog well, and it’s clear my dog trusts him. I feel comfortable knowing he’s in good hands.

James is honestly one of the first people I’d trust with any dog. He’s helped me out a bunch when I was watching dogs through Rover, and he’s always been super reliable and easy to count on—even last minute. He’s calm, responsible, and just naturally good with dogs. He’s also taken care of my parents’ dogs for me and has always done a great job. I never have to worry when he’s helping out because I know he’ll show up, be attentive, and make sure they’re taken care of. Overall, he’s just a solid, dependable person who genuinely likes being around dogs. Anyone booking him on Rover will be in good hands.
