About: I have nurtured, trained and rehabbed cats, dogs and farm animals for decades and find it incredibly rewarding. I provide a safe and loving environment. I am available for daycare or boarding 24/7, 365 days a year. My services are available year-round and my rates do not increase seasonally or for holidays. I have a 3/4 acre fully fenced yard with secured gates for our 2 dogs. My cats live in the 3 room 'kitty condo' indoors.

About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.

“As always, Bo had a fun afternoon at John’s! To be honest, John is the only sitter I feel safe and comfortable leaving Bo . He KNOWS Bo, he KNOWS dogs , no matter what type or the personality of your dog , he knows how to handle them ! Bo is high energy, wants a lot of attention, loves to play …..and John figured him out after day one ! Not everyone can handle that combination…John 100% does . He is definitely a true dog whisperer and Bo adores him …”

About: Animals are here to heal our souls therefore I want to do the same for them and give them the best attention and fun time! I am currently home all day and would love some furry company. I can coordinate my time to fit your pets needs and wants. I am determined to provide whatever care needed for our furry friends. I try to listen and understand them watch them and play with them at all times. They have all my attention the whole time they’re with me.

“Amber was amazing—truly a lifesaver for a last-minute daycare! She took great care of Miller and kept me updated throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I 100% recommend her, and Miller can’t wait to go back for more fun!”

“Clinton felt very happy soon as he entered Alyssa’s home and went around wagging his tail meeting Alyssa and inspecting her very clean home. Alyssa treated him like her own pet and lavished attention on him. She walked him in the evening and I could tell Clinton enjoyed very good care and love.”

“My Ginger enjoyed her doggie day care with Sarah! Sarah kept me updated throughout the day with photos and videos of Ginger and her new friends. She was a sleepy girl when she got home too! Sarah was caring for Gingers timidness on a walk too. Highly recommend and will use Sarah as a dog sitter in the future!”

“We had such an amazing experience with Veronique! She took excellent care of our golden retriever Kennedy. We were provided frequent updates with photos and video and the communication was so easy. Veronique was very quick in getting back to us which was great. Kennedy had such a fun time and we would love to have Kennedy return! Highly recommend!”

“Finding Cheri has been a Godsend. This is the first time we've ever needed daycare and we were hesitant to leave Otto with anyone. On top of that we had a few other experiences with people who were unreliable. Cheri, above all else, is a dog lover in every sense of the word. I see it from the way she greets Otto in the morning, to the way that she texts me during the day to tell me whats he's doing or asking if he can do certain things, to seeing how tired he is at the end of the day from a day of full activity. Cheri walks him, takes him on runs and she and her boys play with him in the backyard all day long. I couldn't be happier with everything she does and recommend her highly to anyone looking to find a safe and healthy place to leave their dog with complete peace of mind.”

“Nelson was incredible from first point of contact to pick up! (Props to Teddy as well!) I'd schedule time for Lexi under his care again, without hesitation!”
