Run, walk, or nap. I've got it.

Pet care experience

I'm a recent college graduate living in the area. I've always had dogs in my life and absolutely love them. I have no breed, size, or age preferences. Golden retrievers are my favorite because that's what I grew up with. I do prefer a heads up if your dog needs any special attention such as medications or dietary needs. I trained my most recent dog, Snickers (pictured), to be a therapy dog. I work 3:30-midnight on weekdays, so I can usually stop by midday to cover you while you work. I have experience with puppies, active dogs, and senior dogs. I'm very physically active, so I don't mind to run with your dog, take him/her for long walks or multiple walks, or play long games of tug of war. (none of the pictured dogs live with me)

John is a great dog sitter. I had to go away for the weekend and he really helped me out. John is also a great friendly guy, and I’ll definitely call him up to dog sit again ??.

John was a life saver as our last minute pet sitter so we could go see the total eclipse! He was super accommodating of our less-than-solid travel plans, was neat, professional, and took great care of our dogs!

John was amazing. He was very thorough with the updates and i can tell our dog Jagger loved him. We for sure will be using him for our future trips.

John took care of our 6 month old doodle. We came back home to a clean house and a super happy puppy. John was very professional and he sent daily photos. Can highly recommend him as a dog sitter. We will ask him again to dog sit.

Information John A. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any medications the dog Is taking and how best to administer them. If they receive medicine in a specific way I like to watch the owner do it at least once. For puppies, I love to know any commands and accompanying hand gestures you're working on with your puppy, so I can help keep consistent with training.

A typical day

I'm very physically active and love to go on runs or long walks. If you have a dog that needs activity, I definitely can help.
