I work from home and spend a lot of time in the park, sometimes with friends dogs, so my day to day wouldn’t change much if I was looking after your dog!

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

I can handle dogs with needs. I owned a deaf dog with behavioral problems and have looked after a dog with epilepsy a lot that needs regular pills.

A typical day

I live by Central Park and love taking them to the park, the dogs I look after now all go on off Leash but happy to keep them on leash. Lots of dog parks and I love to run with them and play with balls and sticks.

Dog’s best friend on UES

Pet care experience

I have had dogs since I was kid, usually several at once always very large but I love little ones too. Since then I’ve had a network of dogs I look after for friends, all of whom I love like my own. Only don’t have my own because of work patterns and travel but generally pretty free to walk during my working hours and live close enough to Central Park to do longer walks there.

I always feel confident leaving Peggy with John that she’s going to have a great time and it’ll be an stress-free experience for me. My first choice for boarding my pup. Thanks!!

John was very understanding and gentle with our rescue pup. He has clearly worked with rescues in the past and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I appreciated that John was able to watch my dog on short notice after another sitter fell through. He asked a lot of thoughtful questions to accommodate my senior dog’s needs and was communicative and responsive throughout. Thanks John!
