Safety, trust & environment

I make sure all pets are comfortable. I’ve been around so many different dogs and cats of all personalities it’s easy to tell if they are happy!

Information John A. would like to know about your pet

I would certainly love to know about it’s personality, and I would also like to know if it has any dietary restrictions or preferences. None of those should be disqualifying, but it is good information to know.

A typical day

I love taking them on walks, playing with toys and providing treats when necessary! I love to play fetch as well, even dogs that are not so great at the returning part!

Pet care experience

I often help take care of dogs, may it be my own, or family friends! I really do enjoy doing it and am happy to help out however I can. I have been around pets my whole life and have provided each one with the same care and treatment! I am very responsive to messages, and will provide regular updates on how things are going while taking care of your animal!

John watched Lily and Riley over the weekend and did a great job. Kept me updated the whole time, and it was clear they were in good hands!

John took great care of our 2 dogs. He communicated well with plenty of pictures, and most importantly our dogs were happy, healthy, and the house was in great shape when we came home. I highly recommend John for anyone who needs someone to take care of your pups.

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.
