Your Pet’s New Best Friend

Hi, pet owners!! I’m a reliable and experienced dog walker and pet sitter serving Rancho Bernardo and surrounding areas, including Escondido and Poway. I also bring over 14 years of hands on experience as a veterinary assistant, working with animals of all ages and temperaments. I’m comfortable caring for everything from energetic puppies to senior pets with special needs. My background includes monitoring vital signs, administering medications, assisting with animal rehabilitation, feeding, and maintaining proper care and organization in a clinical setting. This experience allows me to provide attentive, knowledgeable care while keeping your pet’s health and safety a top priority. Whether you need daily walks, drop in visits or pet sitting while you’re away, you can count on me to treat your pets like family. I’d love to keep your furry friends happy, healthy, and well cared for!

John was great with walking our dogs, our Aussie loves the long walks. Always very tired right after. John is very accommodating and very responsive. Even brought our packages inside the house for us. Will definitely book again in the future.

John did a wonderful job taking care of our large German Shepherd and our home while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for, and everything was just as we left it. We’re very pleased with his services and would definitely hire him again in the future. Thank you John!
