Safety, trust & environment

I do not board pets at my home. When staying with a pet in their own home I try to keep the routine as if the owner is there in the home. so animals see as little change as possible.

Information John G. would like to know about your pet

Past medical history ,allergies, diet . It’s better to keep any animal to the owners routine. It’s important to know the dog owners commands so the animal is not confused.

A typical day

Depending on the dog and what it likes to do, I go with the flow so if it likes playing ball or running in the woods or both we can do it . It is important to know how good the dogs recall is then I decide where to it.. It also depends on the dogs' social skills and if it likes a lot of interaction with other dogs and people

Pet care experience

ex dairyman with lots of hands on experience with farm animals as well as dogs. I have been working full time dog sitting and walking for a few years now with many different breeds of dogs. I enjoy the challenge of the bigger dogs but I treat all the dogs with love care and attention. All prices are not set in stone so on our meet and greet we can discuss that . I drive a van which is more costly but I enjoy the great outdoors doing lots of different walks

John looked after Gracie for us whilst we attended a wedding. We could not be happier, John was great at giving us updates and we were able to see that Gracie was being well looked after and very happy. Thank you John.

John looked after our Labrador Freddie for a week in our home whilst we were abroad. John kept us up to date with how she was getting on and sent regular pictures and videos. We can tell she was having time of her life with all the different places he took her too and she was well looked after. We will book John in the future for dog sitting.

John is amazing - truly the best dog sitter I have ever used. My dogs received 100% of Johns attention the whole time he was with them and had some amazing walks! He also went over and above in and around the house and looking after my other animals. He was clean and tidy and know one would have ever have known he had been there once he left. Its lovely when people tread lightly on this earth and he truly does. I now feel confident that I can go away knowing my beloved pooches are in trusted hands.
