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.

Information John D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you dog has special needs, loves a certain snack or favorite activity! My goal is to make your special pup feel right at home!

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 ✔️

Dog’s best friend!

Pet care experience

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.
