I have used John F. as a caregiver for the past 10 years for my Yellow Labrador Retriever. John has done both short term day walks with my dog as well as long term overnight stays in his home when I went away on vacation. John has always given my dog love and caring as if it were his own. I have seen him interact with my dog and give real heartfelt love, attention, and play time. My dog is always happy to see John and never has shown any fear of being left behind. The joy John shows when seeing my dog seems to be a mutual love between the two as my dog and John both greet each other with enthusiasm and true companionship and truly enjoy each others company. John has also always gone above and beyond to ensure all dietary guidelines are followed and has been diligent during any occasion my dog required medication be delivered. John ensures my dog feels like a member of his family and spends quality time each and every time he has watched my dog. My dog is now 14 and having elderly dog issues like trouble getting up, walking and loosing some hearing. John has gone above and beyond in ensuring comfort and care for my dog even in these heightened times of need. John has even gone out and bought a bunch of small runner carpets on his own dime to cover any slick areas in his house to ensure my dog had good footing and refused reimbursement when I offered to pay him back. This kind of care is one of kind and above anything I have ever encountered before. I am very picky when it comes to my dog's care and won't even consider leaving her at a shampoo place because I refuse to keep my dog in a cage all day waiting for a shampoo. I can not recommend John strongly enough based on his true love of animals, his incredible animal interaction and his true above and beyond care of my beloved pet. He is the best caregiver I have ever used.
