Safety, trust & environment

When going on walks I can put on booties/sweater/jacket and harness if needed and then I would take them on a nice walk to help them get exercise, energy out and do all their business. I am very cautious to make sure they are safe and not eating anything random of the street or steping in harmful things.

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any routes youd like me to take your furry friends , any allergies they may have, if you need me to do anything specific including put booties on/ any outwear , any medication to give /inject, usual times for walks and feeding times. Also if theres anything that they are afraid of or bothered by (dogs/cats/people/ loud sounds) If theres anything else youd like to inform me of just let me know!

A typical day

Play with their favorite toys, go for a run, got to dog park or anything they love! Playing fetch, or any games they love to do to run around!!

Pets

I love dogs all breeds .

Pet care experience

I have had many breeds of dogs from a young age. I take care of my dogs with great pride. Feeding, grooming & taking my dog for checkup. Heartguard & flea & tick prevention. My love for dogs from many years still continues. My dog Molly is almost 8 & she is the love of our household. I started the love of dogs at a young age with my dog Lassie, then my family had Siber, a white Samoyed. We adopted a mix Doberman/German Sheppard. Then a female Maltese Chardonnay. My wife & daughter now are sharing my love as first time dog owners with Molly. We adopted her from North Shore Animal league. Any dog I would take care of, I would show compassion & care.

John is the best dog walker we have ever had. He came over for 2 meet and greets to make sure our Coco was comfortable. He is an animal lover and it shows. My dog often won’t eat when we are gone. He ate all of his food. John took amazing care of Coco. He is always on time!

Great experience. John arrived a few minutes early for our appointment so that we could all meet for the first time. Ginger took to him immediately. Unfortunately, it started to rain so Ginger decided she'd had enough and brought John home. He towel dried her when they returned. Caring and friendly. Thank you, John.

John is wonderful with dogs. He has watched my dog numerous times while we were away on vacation and my dog is always happy to see him. He is very responsible and can be trusted with your pet. I would highly recommend him.
