House Sitting • Jul 04, 2026

This was my first time using John as our pet sitter. I chose him because he had such great reviews. Here is another one! John was very professional from the start. Promptly replied to my request, scheduled a meet and greet, and was wonderful at keeping me up to date with texts and pictures. I highly recommend him.

John did a nice job watching my 3 cats. He took unpaid time to come over and let me tell him about my routine with them. He was flexible in his routine with them and patient.
