Please let me know if your dog has physical limitations or requires medications. I have cared for multiple senior dogs. Every day I get to spend with a dog, I try to make it their best ever.

I love to run, hike, and play with dogs! I’m a very active individual. I’m capable of and eager to complete handyman tasks that need to be accomplished around the house, garage, and/or yard.

Dog-loving intern in Santa Monica!

Pet care experience

I love dogs of all breeds and sizes! I had a lab growing up and have rescued 3x dogs since. I am transitioning from Alexandria, VA to an internship in Santa Monica. I’m looking to house sit and walk your pups to avoid or offset my evening commute back to the valley!

James was great with our senior dog! He took great care of her on her walks and was patient in learning all of her quirks!

James went above and beyond to take care of my English bulldog Bowie. Not only that, but he helped my injured mother around the house while I was out of town - even washed our cars!! He was so caring and helpful- anyone would be lucky to work with him. Thank you so much James!!

James was great! He was very communicative and took great care of my dog. He was always on time and provided detailed updates after the walks. Super flexible for my changing schedule, would highly recommend!

If Ted (dog) could type, he’d probably write this himself… but since he’s busy snoozing right now, I’ll step in. Highly recommend James! He’s very punctual and super friendly. Ted came back happy, exercised, and with a full photo gallery that honestly looks like a lifestyle shoot. You also get a detailed recap of the walk, including Ted’s more… creative choices (yes, he apparently dined on flower petals like a tiny, four-legged foodie). Reliable, thoughtful, and willing to document the chaos. 10/10—Ted would book him again in a heartbeat (or a sniffbeat).

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.
