Billy came away happy, as before. John is a caring sitter, and I hope I can take my little dog to visit another time

John provided excellent care for our two dogs, Henry and Nala. His home is very dog-friendly, and he was flexible in meeting their needs. Both dogs returned happy and relaxed. I would confidently recommend John to others.
