Pet care experience

Mature, dependable, easygoing

Hey there! With a lifelong passion for animals, I've been fortunate to share my home with a variety of beloved pets over the years, including a wise Black Lab, a spirited Pitbull mix, a loyal Queensland Heeler, and a strong-willed black cat. Though they have since passed after long, fulfilling lives, my experience in providing compassionate care remains undiminished. Recently adopted 8 year Tabby who is just a doll! I am skilled in all facets of pet care and deeply understand the needs of animals at every stage of their life. Entrust me with your pet’s care for a peace of mind and assurance that they are in capable and loving hands.

Really great experience all around. Jim was awesome with our high energy dog while we were away and we could not recommend him enough

Expectations of care are important so that their routines aren’t disrupted too much during the petsitting. Knowledge of the proper amounts of feeding, exercise, attention, and healthcare are key.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
