Pet care experience

Dog’s best friend!

I love each and every dog I’ve ever met. They are all so sweet and unique. Nothing beats making a pup feel super special - because they are! Frequent walks, belly rubs, ear scratches - whatever it takes to keep that tail wagging!

John did a great job communication the whole time, took excellent care of our dog, and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. We'll definitely book with him again!

John took amazing care of our dog, including sending us daily pictures and taking care of her slightly complex food and medicine needs. We would definitely use him again for pet sitting.

With out a doubt the best sitter we've ever experienced. A very genial nice individual who really has your (ours) pets best interests in mind. Caring, attentive, invested in your needs and concerns with regards to your family member. Couldn't be happier, just ask my dog....

John was awesome!!! To start, John was very accommodating, and was able to care for my dog, Griffin on short notice. John sent beautiful pictures so I could see how my boy was doing, and the pictures actually showed my dog engaged and happy, going on walks, playing in the yard, and sitting on the couch relaxing. John was very understanding about my dog's accidents and learned Griff's potty needs. John even bought Griff a halloween neck scarf and let him greet trick-or-treaters, something my dog truly enjoys doing with me. John treated Griff like he was his own and created a home away from home. I trusted John with precious cargo, and he took great care. Will definitely request his help again!

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a fenced in yard, but I do have a lead for the back yard for play time. I live in a quiet (no outlet) neighborhood that is super dog friendly. The house has plenty of space and is equipped with multiple puppy cams.

Pets

A typical day

Typical day starts with a nice walk and exploring the smells in the neighborhood. Then some playtime indoors (or out) with plenty of toys and some fetch. Maybe a late morning nap if needed. Afternoon includes a lengthy walk in the fresh air and a trail walk or playground session if in the mood. Evening walk around the neighborhood to soak in some more scents and then begin winding down after a long day ✔️
