Disponibilité
I work full-time, but I often work from home and live close enough to stop in frequently during the day. This gives me the flexibility to provide regular walks, potty breaks, and companionship. I'm available for boarding and drop-in visits on evenings, weekends, and holidays.

À propos de John F.

Compétences
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
Safety and comfort are my priorities. My home has a fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time. I generally host pets from one household at a time, which allows me to provide a calm, home-based experience with plenty of individual attention. I carefully consider temperament, size, routines, and compatibility, and I can separate pets for meals, rest, or individual attention when needed. I follow care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, walking preferences, and any specific comfort needs. Written instructions are especially helpful because they allow me to keep your dog’s routine as consistent as possible while you’re away. I keep a clean, calm, non-smoking home and aim to prevent the stress that can come with crowded boarding environments. Dogs have regular potty breaks, backyard time, walks, companionship, and downtime throughout the day. You’ll receive regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Informations que John F. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
I’m best suited for friendly, house-trained, crate-trained dogs who are comfortable in a home setting. I generally host one household at a time. Please tell me honestly about your dog’s behavior around other animals, including any guarding, reactivity, fear, or need to be the only animal in the home. Pickup and drop-off may be available depending on distance and scheduling. The listed rate applies to nearby clients; longer-distance transportation may require an adjusted fee.
Une journée type
A typical day includes meals on your dog’s usual schedule, supervised backyard time, neighborhood walks, potty breaks, play or sniffing time, and plenty of companionship. I balance activity with calm downtime so dogs can relax and settle into the home. Because I often work from home and live close by when I’m at the office, I can provide regular check-ins, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. I’ll also send photo updates so you can see how your dog is doing while you’re away.

Calm Boarding + Fenced Yard
Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
I provide calm, attentive boarding in a quiet home with a fully fenced backyard. I keep my boarding group intentionally small, hosting no more than four dogs at a time, and carefully consider each dog’s temperament, needs, and compatibility. This allows me to provide a lower-stimulation environment, consistent routines, and plenty of personal attention without operating like a high-volume kennel. I’m currently taking a break from pet ownership after my own dog passed away, so visiting dogs receive my full focus while they’re here. My home has no resident pets and no children, which can be especially helpful for dogs who may feel overwhelmed in busier boarding settings. I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including senior pets and pets with medication or special care needs. During the COVID period, I fostered 12+ dogs through Schenectady Homeward Bound, which gave me experience with a wide range of temperaments, routines, energy levels, and adjustment needs. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, comfortable home-away-from-home where your dog can settle in, enjoy the yard, go for walks, and keep as much of their normal routine as possible.

Avis
Andre was amazing with Hudson!! Hudson was a little anxious at first and Andre gave him a chance to settle in to his new surroundings and relax. I received so many pictures and messages from Andre while Hudson was there and I never worried how he was doing. I had so much peace of mind and Hudson had a great visit!
John was great. He sent me notes, pics, and videos. I highly recommend him.
John was absolutely wonderful with my anxious rescue dog. This was our first time boarding since I rescued my dog, and John was incredibly responsive and would send multiple updates every day which helped me immensely! John was very accommodating and allowed my dog to approach him on his own terms, and truly made my anxious dog very comfortable. John followed all of my instructions perfectly, even doing my dog's meals via enrichment and scatter feeding rather than a bowl as I requested. John's home space is quiet and peaceful, and the fenced in yard makes it perfect for any dog, but especially good for those who need a calm environment. Cannot recommend him enough!
Andre (John) took great care of Gus and Penny. I appreciated the pictures and updates during their stay. My sister recommended Andre and she was correct. Great care!
