Information James R. would like to know about your pet

The most important issue is if your dog is well behaved or not, if they bite we do want them here. We’ve already experienced this have zero tolerance for dogs with behavior issues. This includes dogs that aren’t potty trained. We cannot continue booking dogs that go to the bathroom in the house. We offer 4 to 6 opportunities to potty outside every day

A typical day

We do a quick walk through RFK fields in the morning and at lunch but after work at 4pm we enjoy a long walk across Kingmans Ispand

Hi, I work from home

Pet care experience

I’ve always had pets and currently have a three year old bernadoodle that loves to play. I work from home so you’re getting 24/7 attention. I have a 7 year old son and his friends around the house. I cannot accept any dogs with any behavioral issues. If your dog has ever bitten anyone, I will not accept the booking. You must come to house for a meet & greet prior to booking, that means you bring your dog here to meet my family and experience the environment. I won’t be booking anyone that cannot have a meet & greet prior to booking.

James took great care of Chuck. He was very responsive from the jump and flexible on scheduling (including accommodating travel delays on our end). James took care to understand Chuck's care needs and ensure Chuck and Bailey were a good fit. Would consider booking with James again for future care needs.

My dog loves going to James’ place and playing with other pups. He’s happy and worn out after. Glad to have found a good spot for Larry to hang out when I’m away!!

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.
