Safety, trust & environment

I can accommodate any walking schedule. I live in an elevator apartment, so no one needs to walk up steps if they can't (or don't want to!). I have a small to medium sized dog bed and a crate, and if a smaller pup wants to sleep on my bed with me, that's cool, too.

Information John C. would like to know about your pet

I do have an 11 year old dog-loving boy in the home, so if your little friend is wary around kids, we might not be the best match.

A typical day

I live not too far from Central Park, and very close to a cul-de-sac at the end of East 72nd where dogs love to walk. I can happily go outside with a high-energy pooch, and if they are a more snuggly dog, they can sit next to me while I work or (let's be honest) play video games on my couch.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, so I have a lifetime of experience. For the last 12 years I was lucky enough to live with a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel here in Manhattan, so I also have over a decade of NYC-specific dog experience.

John was so great with Jetty! I felt very comfortable with him in John’s care. John is very responsive and has a wonderful calm energy.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
