Dog Lover to Love Yours!

Pet care experience

When I lived in Maine I was the proud parent of a beautiful yellow Lab, Bailey, for 14 years until he passed in 2010. Through these years I handled the many ups and downs of being a dog owner from training all the way up to senior care. After Bailey passed I moved to Boston and became the dog sitter for my friends. These relationships have been a wonderful substitute for me after Bailey. I enjoy these experiences immensely and want to broaden the opportunities to do this more often. I have worked as an administrator in healthcare settings for close to 30 years. I am highly reliable, professional and responsible. I have a flexibility to my work schedule and I only take one dog at a time so your dog will get plenty of love and attention.

John was great with our dog. He adored her as she did him. He was attentive to our dog's special needs. We'd be happy to ask for his help again!

John was wonderful with my Edie during her stay! During our meet and greet, I could tell he's good with dogs and a good match with Edie. He sent me a cute photo of Edie and, above all, also went out of his way to arrange and do the pick-up of Edie from another sitter. Edie came back happy from her stay and I'd seek his help again whenever I need one. Highly recommended!!!

I have had the pleasure of John taking care of my handicapped dog for the past few years. She (Sandy) has three legs and requires a little extra attention and love. He is wonderful with her and she leaps every time she sees him. There is always constant communication and I couldn't be happier knowing that she is with John. They truly have a special bond and I am "worry free" when traveling when she is in John's care. I can't think of a better person to have on your team.

Dogs must not have any separation anxiety issues. I live in a condo and a barking or whimpering dog would be a disturbance to my neighbors.
