John can care for
Availability
I currently work a 9–5 job, so I’m available for evening drop-ins and walks during the week. Open on most weekends! That said, I just had a newborn and will be home all summer, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule for caring for pets and making sure pups get the time and attention they need. I truly love being around animals and enjoy spending my spare time with them—whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Whether you have a small pup or a big dog, I’m happy to take them on walks—or if you prefer, we can stay in the yard or play indoors. I’ll follow your preferences to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. If your pet just needs some company and a buddy for a while, I’m here for that too. During my visits, your pet will be treated like part of the family—loved, respected, and given the attention they deserve in a calm, safe environment.
Information John D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what makes your dog special—whether it’s a quirky habit, a favorite toy, a fear of loud noises, or a certain way they like to be greeted. Do they have a preferred walking pace, get excited around other dogs, or love a particular treat? Understanding these little details helps me build trust and create a comfortable, fun experience tailored just for them. Every pup is unique, and I want to make sure I connect with yours in all the right ways.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a peaceful morning walk—about a mile—to get some fresh air and exercise. After work, we head out again for another stroll, giving us time to unwind and explore. For fun, I love taking pets to local parks, hitting nearby trails, or hanging out at community spots like kids’ t-ball games, where there’s plenty to see and sniff. Whether it’s a calm day at home with naps and enrichment toys or an outing full of new sights and smells, I make sure every pet feels loved, engaged, and right at home.

Your Pet’s Second Favorite Human
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my pups the past 23 years. From house training and socialization to managing energy levels and building trust, I understand what it takes to give pets a loving and structured environment. More than anything, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable!
Cat care experience

Reviews
As always
John was fantastic! He kept us updated on what was going on at home and sent us pictures of the pets each day. He made sure the cats and Guiana pig didn’t miss a step in their routine while we were out of town. Fantastic experience! We will use him again.
Great experience! John was reliable, caring, and kept me updated. Highly recommend!
I have had Jack feed and walk my black lab many times and it’s clear that he really cares for him as much as I do! He has also given him medication and stayed with him for a weekend when I was out of town. I highly recommend Jack to anyone!
