Safety, trust & environment

For the most part, the pet dictates the care. I like to stay consistent with their daily routine (walks, feedings, play, etc.) as I find it helps their anxiety and overall comfort. But what we do outside of that depends entirely on the individual pet whether it be hiking, throwing a toy across the living room 114 times (actually), or snuggling on the couch -- I am down for all of that and more. If your dog likes to run marathons though, I'm afraid I'll have to politely decline as I'll need my own sitter if I run for that long!

Information James T. would like to know about your pet

Any special accommodations, medications, dietary restrictions, bad habits or tendencies, triggers, comforts & preferences, or any unhappy ex’s that we might run into on our walk(s).

A typical day

We’ll probably learn some calculus, do a little karaoke, and finish the day off with some Wagyu steak… just kidding — we’ll do dog stuff for dogs and cat stuff for cats. Unless your cat is more like a dog in which case I will be asking to adopt.

Pet care experience

Once while driving, I pulled over because I saw a dog I wanted to meet — that’s me in a nutshell. Very dog and cat obsessed. I will care for your pet as if they were mine (because really, I will be trying my hardest to forget you exist). I am very detail-oriented by nature, observant to any behavioral or health changes, and respectful of any boundaries your pet may set. I had a German Shepherd of my own for many years but he recently passed. Thanks to the time Duke and I spent together, I am now well-versed in fetch etiquette (no take, only throw), leash aggression, picky eating habits, bloating, and the infamous long sigh when I don’t take him out for our 11th walk of the day.

I’ve had James watch my cat multiple times now and he treats him as if he were his own. This time I had a family emergency come up mid trip and James was super responsive and willing to extend the booking and help out last minute. Highly recommend!!

James took my dog to the park and let him go for a swim on a hot day. He is a reliable and trustworthy dog walker- and very funny! I appreciated that my dog was in good hands!

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.
