Pet care experience

hello Yuma.

My skill is rooted in my ability to make friends with animals that don't make friends easily. I've never been a good wrangler, and I'm not an accomplished trainer. I'm good at body language, and I think this is why animals often like me. A sensitive dog taught me, naturally.

House Sitting • août 17, 2021

John was amazing! HE took my dog on numerous long walks and kept me updated the whole time. It looks like she really enjoyed him too. Thanks John!

Drop-In Visits • mars 10, 2020

John dropped in on our Bengal cat Murphy daily during our vacation in the Caribbean. We met face to face beforehand, and John was a nice, normal guy. Super responsive to text. The app notified us every time John started the drop-in visit and when it ended. John always fed, changed water, cleaned the litter, played with and pet Murphy. He sent me three or four pictures each day, and commented on how Murphy was doing. When we came home, everything was perfect, Murphy was happy, and John came by to return the key at my convenience. Five stars, you couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend.

Dog Walking • juil. 22, 2019

John was very helpful when I had a change of plans last minute and needed someone to walk and check in on my dog. I would highly recommend him and will be using his services in the future for sure.

John is very reliable; he was also one of my dog's favorite humans for many years. When I need a animal sitter, he is the first person I think of.

John is a great dog sitter. He has cared for our dogs on multiple occasions and they are always happy and content when we return. John has a great love and understanding of dogs. I highly recommend him for your dog sitting needs.

I have four adopted wildcats. They're always happy to see me for coffee and breakfast. We're all old pals now, and they bring lots of joy into my life.

I've met all kinds of animals. If you think you have an animal whose behavior falls outside of the normal range, that's ok. I'm confident in my ability to care for many different types of animals and I'm always interested in adding new animal care skills for any type of animal.
