Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for dogs and cats my whole life and this is the first time I'm without my own. I'm very good at feeling animals needs out and staying connected with them so that they feel as comfortable as possible in a new space.

Bix and Ella had a wonderful stay with James. Good long walks and caring structure we’re the highlights. The humans were relaxed on our getaway knowing that our dogs were in good hands with James.

Booking with James was my first Rover experience. Having 2 cattle dog mixes, I was really apprehensive and booked James specifically because he had a fenced in yard so they could play fetch. Being a 7 day booking, I was nervous... but when I picked up my dogs up they seemed happy and healthy like no time had passed. He took care of two working dogs for > 1 week and reported no issues - I would reccomend James for your dog and would book with him again in the future.

James was a great host for our dog! She has a lot of quirks and James was very accommodating and made her feel comfortable. He was always quick to respond when I reached out to see how she was doing! We look forward to using James again!

James was great! He was able to care for Luna on short notice and was very communicative during her stay. She had the best time and we will be booking with him again!

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.
