Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).

John was great! He took Louie out to parks, walks, even to lunch! I was worried about leaving him alone, but with John, it was easier. I highly recommend him and will use him again. He sent pictures all the time and was highly responsive to all text messages/phone calls.

John was great! He updated us daily and provided a way better experience for our pets than boarding. He watered our plants, cleaned the house, and went above and beyond anything we could have imagined! John, we thank you for your professionalism and kind heart for our fur babies while we were gone! We will book you for our next trip 100%! GOD BLESS!!!

John was an amazing sitter! I would totally hire him again! He took great care of my geriatric dog, and he was great about sending pictures and keeping me updated. Thanks John!

John can host up to 1 pet per night
I need to know how the pet likes to eat and have their food prepared (can be as simple as kibble in bowl), what their usual day looks like, any special needs the animal(s) have. How they relieve themselves and how often (do they usually walk first? Do they just go outside, etc). Is there anything I shouldn’t do with the animal(s). Or anything you think would be important for me to know.
