Honestly? I Prefer Dogs Over People

There hasn’t been a time in my life when I DIDN’T have a pet. Except for right now, that is. As any dog owner/lover will tell you, your dog is an important member of your immediate family. Losing a pet is comparable to losing a family member. Jake, my pit bull, passed away a little over a year ago. The grief and loss was/is hard to get over, and I’m not ready right now for another dog of my own. But I am and always will be an animal lover, and I will take very good care of YOURS!

Safety, trust & environment

John is a phenomenal human being that gives nothing but good live energy. He goes above and beyond any expectations I have ever had . It was a last minute arrangement and he agreed to help on the moments notice. He even realized my profile was not updated and helped me navigate the website. 5⭐️’s I highly recommend 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

John is awesome! Showed up on time and very good with Lex. Lex is a big boy and likes to pull at times and John had zero issues. Highly recommend and would use again.

My husband and I have been using John to care for our baby Bailey a few times. He runs to door every time he sits for him. John has done an excellent job keeping us informed and sending pictures. John is excellent. If you need your dog taken care while in or out of town, he cares for your pets the way you want them to be taken care of.

John was excellent when he watched my dogs overnight at my house. My dogs are older and not used to other people and he made them feel very comfortable and secure. I highly recommend him and plan to use his services in the future.

John seems wise with my dogs however when I asked about a broken panel of my puppy's playpen I didn't get an answer. Also he didn't arrive at 5am when I left for the airport. I would like adjustment on amount charged since I don't know when he arrived and also I arrived an hour and a half early from airport. Thanks
