WFH dad wants to watch your doggie

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.

John did a wonderful job taking care of Dinah. So very pleased! Dinah is a very nervous dog, so this meant a lot tome. Will definitely re-book!

John took great care of Ringo. He was very responsive when we checked in. I felt very good about Ringo’s stay when we were so far away, and would highly recommend using John if you’re looking for a great pet sitter!

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.

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
John can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
