Pet care experience
I've grown up around dogs my entire life. My experience ranges from caring for puppies to senior care with needing to administer a variety of meds throughout the day at certain times. I've cared for puppies and worked with the owners to help maintain the same commands to help keep training in alignment. I've cared for smaller lap dogs all the way up to the larger breeds like pit bulls and German Shepherds.
Reviews
John has been a reliable and caring sitter for my fearful and energetic puppy. I have been using his services for many months (drop in visits, dog walks, house sitting). During a brief house-sitting stay, he was able to gain my dog’s trust such that she now jumps for joy every time she sees him. He provides great pictures and thoughtful updates which is always super re-assuring. While my cat mostly cares for herself, he always makes sure she’s well cared for during visits, too :) I would absolutely recommend his services!
John was exceptional with my 2 y.o. Vizsla, Taz. He was approachable, friendly, and incredibly trustworthy throughout the whole process. Upon chatting, John shared that he had experience with older dogs, as well as puppies, which made us very comfortable entrusting him with our high-energy, high-exercise dog. John sent us photos of Taz on walks and playing in the yard, so we knew he was being well taken care of the whole time we were away. He was also willing to house sit, and took great care of our home, leaving it spotless upon our return. I would highly recommend John to anyone who is in search of a trustworthy, dog-loving, care-taker!
John cared for my dog Max for several years until Max passed away last year at nearly 15 years old. I cannot say enough good things about the care and genuine love he gave to Max. As Max became a Senior dog, he began to suffer with arthritis and then dementia. John was very patient with ensuring Max got his meds, was exercised, and was mentally stimulated to keep him happy during the times I was away. As Max was my companion when I became an empty nester, it was difficult for me to leave him; however, knowing he was with someone who took such good care of him and literally knew him almost his entire life, I felt comfortable leaving Max with John. Anyone who has him care for their pet will get a caring, responsible, and kind caregiver.

I've had pets my whole life so I know what a pet means to their owners. These pets are family members and need to be treated as such.
Information John C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your dogs tendencies. I am comfortable walking any breed of dog and going for extended long walks if the dog needs to be away for a duration of time.
A typical day
I enjoy running both indoors and outdoors. I enjoy hiking and being outside as much as I can. Current work situation allows me to have some control over my schedule.
