So because my dog is full of energy him and I will play outside for 30mins-1hr, sometimes we had over to the dog park where he lets out all of his energetic energy, there’s also days where we just go on long walk.

Being a dog owner we understand the love and care that goes into caring for a pet. From young I thought my Charlie a few new skills that he loves and still does till this day.

We love James! He was great to work with, but most importantly, our dog Bella had a great time. Bella is getting older, and we've been worried that she's been getting very stressed when we leave her at a kennel. We decided to try something different for this trip and tried Rover, where we found James. He kept us updated daily and kept us in touch. Bella and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

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.
