Pet care experience

I love dogs🐶 & will love yours too

I have had 3 dogs over the past 18 years and have really enjoyed them even though they had very different personalities. Charlie, my 1st dog as an adult, was friendly to humans, but more aggressive with other dogs at times. After he passed away, I really missed him, so in a few months I got my dog Sally who was a miniature Poodle mix rescue dog. My current dog Linus is also a sweet and friendly dog. I will take good care of your dog as well and I have a fully fenced double lot, so they can wander around to their heart's content. If they need to be walked, I can do that too since I live on a quiet dead end street with nearby trails. I work from home most of the day and when I am gone, the dogs will be put together in my spare bedroom. At night, your dog will sleep in my bedroom.

John was great in taking care of our pet for almost 2 weeks. We got everyday updates and pictures and our pet seemed to have got along well with his dog Linus and the other dogs that John was sitting. John has a large yard and that was helpful for outside time. Thanks John!

Our dogs always enjoy their time with John! He is great at communicating daily and has helped a lot with one of our dogs who can be a finicky eater. We will definitely be booking with John again.

Our dog enjoys romping with the other dogs in John's large wooded yard, and we get pics every day, which the family really enjoys. We've booked with John 3 times in as many months and are very happy - repeat bookings says a lot and is the biggest endorsement we can give. :)

Our experience with John was wonderful for both Diesel and us as pet owners. He was consistently responsive, flexible, and clear in his communication, which kept us at ease knowing Diesel was well cared for. John also managed other dogs at the same time, ensuring they stayed out of trouble with each other. We look forward to using John's services again in the future.

Fiona had another great stay with John. He’s meticulous about taking care of her and sending us updates. She comes home happily exhausted from playing the days away.

Schedule

I'm currently working full-time and I'm only gone for 2 to 4 hours typically and then home the rest of the day. I don't work on weekends. (Please note: I turn off my phone between 10 to 11 pm each night and don't turn it on until about 8:30 am in the morning, so if you call or text me during those times, my response will be delayed).

Safety, trust & environment

My entire property is fully fenced and there is about 15,000 square feet for them to wander around in. The dogs are always in a safe environment and I put a stop to any aggressive behavior right away.

Pets

A typical day

Most dogs just run around on my fenced property, but I can walk them if needed as the street I live on is very safe dead end and there are trails nearby in the Paradise Lake Conservation Area. I will also be happy to toss their ball or other toy for them or play tug-of-war with a rope if they like that.

JOHN can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know about any special needs. I have cared for my previous dog that had a bad back, so I built ramps for both my beds (see pictures). I have brushed my dog's teeth at night and could do that with yours as long as they are used to it and don't bite or growl at this. I am not comfortable doing injections.
