Pet care experience

Lover of Big Dogs and Tiny Cats

As a kid, I spent my weekends volunteering at the local vet. I learned to love pets of all sizes, from the smallest kitten to the biggest dog. I grew up with two dogs (a Chihuahua-pug and a Labrador-golden retriever), and have always had multiple cats in my households. As a pet care professional, I've worked with energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention, from independent cats to those with social anxiety. When you book me, you can expect updates for every visit (with pictures) and careful attention to your family member — and your pet can expect a visit from a friend who they can trust.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Here's what you can expect: - Respect for your home and belongings, always leaving spaces as I found them. - Adherence to your pet's routine to ensure minimal disruption. - Secure handling techniques to prevent escape or injury. - Immediate communication in case of any concerns or emergencies, ensuring swift action and peace of mind. Your trust is of paramount importance to me. I am dedicated to providing a loving environment where pets feel at ease, and owners can be assured of their pet's safety and happiness. With me, your pet isn't just another client; they're family.

John was once again a great sitter for Hermione. He followed all of our instructions to a tee and showed up on time. Hermione can be quite needy and John made sure to spend time at our place and send pictures of her while we were away. I would hire John again. Thanks!

John did a great job with Wrigley. He was very responsive and followed directions well and sent lots of pictures of Wrigley. Wrigley had a great time with him and I would definitely recommend John to others!
