Pet care experience

Waggin' & Walkin' 🐕❤️

Hey, friends! Welcome to Waggin' & Walkin'. I've had many types of animal family members in my life. From dogs and cats to a ferret and a guinea pig! I've also volunteered at the Rota Animal Welfare League while stationed in Spain. My duties included feeding, cleaning the grounds, and spending time with my furry pals. There's no doubt that your dog will be in great hands. Whether it's feeding them, walking them or simply relaxing with them to ensure they're comfortable, I'll be there when you can't to ensure they're good to go 💯👍.

I highly recommend John and I am so glad I decided to leave my pets in his care while I was away.For my elderly dog, kennel isn’t an option anymore. She was able to stay home while being cared for, fed and loved. I received daily updates and pictures. John was caring, meticulous and very communicative. I will absolutely use his services again next time I’m out of town. Thank you!

I can’t recommend John enough. I found him thru the app and did a great job with our dog Rocky. I’d love to be able to take him out on walks more often but that’s not possible with work. I’m so happy I found someone trustworthy that can I count on.

John was wonderful with our little lady, Zoe. She took to him immediately and he listened to her needs in order to gain her trust. Zoe loves being taken care of by John and I would recommend his care to other dogs.

It is an honor to provide this character testimonial for John. As a Retired Navy Veteran, John carries himself with the kind of reliability, dedication, and integrity that only a lifetime of service can instill. But beyond his impressive background as a patriot, what truly defines John is his observational nature and his deeply compassionate heart—especially when it comes to the community he calls home and the animals that live within it. John is the type of person who is always looking for meaningful ways to contribute. His dedication to care isn't just a pastime; it’s a reflection of who he is. This is beautifully evidenced by his extensive history with animals. Having raised a diverse family of pets ranging from dogs and cats to ferrets and guinea pigs, he understands that every animal has its own unique personality, needs, and routine. His commitment to animal welfare is global. While stationed in Rota, Spain, John spent his free time volunteering with the Rota Animal Welfare League—doing everything from the hard work of cleaning grounds and feeding, to the equally important task of providing love and companionship to shelter animals. He knows firsthand what it takes to keep an animal safe, happy, and thriving. John is incredibly observant, meaning he notices the small details that keep a pet comfortable and secure. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a strictly timed feeding, or just a calm, reassuring presence to lounge with while you are away, John approaches the task with the utmost professionalism and heart. When you leave your beloved pets in John’s care, you aren't just hiring a pet sitter; you are trusting a dedicated professional who treats your family like his own. He is dependable, deeply kind, and entirely focused on ensuring your pets are "good to go." I recommend him without reservation.
