Pet care experience

Certified Confident Care ✔

Your pets are family, and my mission is to provide top quality care for your loved ones 💖 With over 8 years of professional animal care experience, I am thrilled to continue building new connections and offering personalized supervision for your beloved furry family members. An extensive expertise in walking, handling, feeding, and ensuring dogs feel comfortable and content + safely managing dog playgroups. To enhance my understanding of animal behavior, I have obtained certifications from TheDogGurus, guaranteeing my comprehensive knowledge of body language and stress reduction techniques. Recognizing the apprehension that often accompanies leaving your dog with someone new, my top priority is making sure you AND your pets feel happy and feel safe. You can feel comfortable knowing you will always be able to reach me anytime while you're away from home and check-in with us. It can be a stressful experience to leave your pet at home all day while you work, or leaving them for a couple days/weeks when you go on a trip. Often times, your companions are more comfortable in their home than at a noisy, busy kennel- where they wont receive the same kind of one-on-one care. As always, I look forward to setting your pets up for success :)

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! John went above and beyond in every way. He took the time to really get to know our large dog Chapi and made sure he felt comfortable, safe, and loved. He also left our house incredibly clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. And as the sweetest surprise, he even left us printed pictures of our dog from his stay! 🥹❤️ It was such a thoughtful touch and something we’ll cherish. John was truly the best sitter ever, and we would recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and incredibly thoughtful!

We have never felt more comfortable leaving our 6 animals with anyone else than we did with John. With some sitters Brenna spent hours just cleaning up the cat litter behind them. Not this time. And my dogs who normally greet me at the door barking and jumping were quite happy to stay snuggling with John on the couch. He seems to truly love just being with and caring for animals. I am sure in the next few days we will see more signs of things he did around the house. We definitely plan on booking John multiple times in the next couple of years.

John was amazing with Porter who is a big dog and loves to jump. He came prepared with treats and really took the time to get to know Porters needs. Was an amazing rover sitter!

John did a great jobs with my 2 yorkies. He stayed with them 3 days and 2 nights. He took care of my home and pets, and everything was great when I got home. I would definitely use his services again.

My animals loved John from the day he stopped in to visit before house sitting. John was a pleasure to work, extremely professional, administered meds as needed, and my animals have never seemed so calm when I returned from a trip. I've already booked him for upcoming trips! Highly recommend!
