Dog trainer, pet caregiver, career

Pet care experience

This is my full time career and I do all rover services: I currently have a 1 year old black lab mix dog and a 14 year old cat. Both get along and that's because I took my time and made sure to introduce them properly, the animal way. I listen to the needs/wants of the animals and work from there. Never work against Mother Nature, work with her. I currently run my own dog training business called Walk First K9 and decided to add on additional services. Rover is a great fit because I used it before as a customer and believe in it so joined as a caregiver. Interviewing is a must before anyone should take care of your family furr baby. I care for your animals just as much as I would mine. I can come to you or you can come to me. I am open, transparent, and easygoing. I will listen, communicate, and make sure your fur babies are well looked after. I love animals and I have made it my life's mission to help all animals regardless of breed/size/ability/or species. I have been working with animals for over 15 years and had a miniature Schnauzer as a child. He was full of life. He developed diabetes and cataracts. We had to learn to take blood sugars and give insulin. This was both rewarding and a new skill I learned. I was super proud when I mastered it. I hope to help you in your time of need/want. Let my friendly, kind hearted approach be the one that takes care of your animal(s) when you need a hand. I am available 24/7 by phone, text, or whatsapp. In my home I will allow your dog to be apart of my pack. They will live, eat, and walk with my dog in a manner that best fits your dog's needs. They will have a meet and greet before booking. Your animal is my top priority. I will make sure you are treated with more than care. Ask about my specials.

James was fantastic with my needy Siamese cat, Tesla. He spent time with her every day for a week, and I will definitely be booking him again next time we go on vacation!

James took great care of our dogs and they came back better behaved than we left them! We really appreciated the updates and communication while we were away.

My wife and I cannot express how pleased we were with our dog's care with James. From daily picture updates, frequent walks, genuine care and affection for our animal, to our return to a happy and healthy pooch. We are 100% satisfied and have been left with a strong comfort level to return to James for future stays when needed.
