About John C.

Safety, trust & environment

As of now I plan to perform the following services: Dog walks, Pop-ins and pet sitting at the client's home. I might add Boarding in the future. When you're not home I will do all tasks that you require to ensure your loved pet is nourished, interacted with and feels safe & happy.

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special needs items or any unique requests that you have. I enjoy walking and taking care of all dog types and don't have a preference. Thank you!

A typical day

I would go on fun walks in the neighborhood and play fetch in the park to give them exercise. Inside the house would be fun also as I would keep them engaged with toys and hidden treat games.

Pet care experience

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 💯👍.

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.

I have known John as a co-worker and friend for more than a decade. This is an easy recommendation. The positive qualities that he has demonstrated at work are the elements of his character. Bottom line: He is there supporting you or the mission when he is needed. As this relates to this job, in casual conversation, he has mentioned has dog, Harley. I recall Harley because of the frequency of discussion. His love of animals is undoubtedly a personal commitment to their care.

John has been my go-to person to take care of my dog when I am away. He is caring, nice and very in tune with my pet's needs. She is an older dog so kennel boarding is not the solution for her anymore and it has been a life changing being able to leave her with him. I have peace of mind knowing she is in good hands.
