I can care for your pet however you prefer as I understand pets are creatures of habit. I would discuss the routines you have in place or request and work to develop a plan.

Information John G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs so that I can ensure I am able to adequately take care of your animal. I understand some boy dogs cant be around other boy dogs, some dogs bark at everything, some cats would rather not be interested in the new human. Being honest with each other helps to ensure your pet gets the best for them and peace of mind for you!

A typical day

I enjoy interacting with dogs, but every dog is a little different, so I will work to enaure that I meet your dogs needs, whether its playing fetch, going on walks around the neighborhood to find new smells, or just hanging out and watching their favorite show….We all know that one dog, for me it’s Pennylane! Lol

Pet care experience

I have been on Rover for over two years and have cared for everything from a bearded dragon, fish, cats, small dogs and hamsters to Great Danes and Rottweilers. I pride myself on leaving your house as nice as I found it or better, because rwho wants to come home from a trip and have to deal with a messy house?! Not me! I grew up with dogs and cats as well as currently have two amazing Great Danes, I have always been a animal person and hope to take care of yours as my own.

John is just the best. Flexible and, once he knew Willy's routine, takes care of things without being asked.

John is always willing to help out when Willy and I need him. I never worry when he's here.

We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with John. He took great care of Ace and updated us frequently. He was immediately responsive to our booking request and very professional. I would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I plan to request him again in the future.

John is just the best. I had a canceled flight and then a seriously delayed flight, and throughout it all, John was there, reassuring and helpful. It makes such a difference when you have someone in your home with your pet who is so dependable.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
