Highlights
Pet care experience
Grd Stdnt/WFH/Short Notice
I believe this is truly an important job, and I know what it’s like to leave someone you care about behind. I am a life-long dog and cat owner with an extensive background in behavioral science, and a Master’s in Education. My friends and coworkers describe me as friendly, caring, empathetic, and of high integrity. I give the utmost attention to animals under my care, and have always taken pride in my attentiveness and sensitivity to animals' needs, moods, and behaviors. I love to keep animals company! Research shows most animals enjoy the attention of conversation! I'm very vocal with my pets. I always give lots of verbal praise, say good morning/goodnight, and even revamp popular hit songs to include your pet’s name! While I have experience working with animals in a behavioral psych role, my greatest passion is working as a social skills therapist for children with developmental disabilities. I run a small business that offers affordable online support for students based on a research driven UCLA program.

Ratings and reviews
John was great! We booked last minute. I went with him based on his reviews, and they’re all accurate. He was prompt and our dog took to him immediately. We got photos while we were out and Faust was so relaxed when we got back. We will definitely book with him again in the future. Honestly, 10 out of 10.
John does an amazing job! He watched our 2 cats and 2 dogs over the weekend. He’s a very experienced pet sitter for both cats and dogs. He’s very trustworthy and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for pet care!
We had such a great experience with John! He watched our pup for a couple days as we took day trips with family. He was responsive, patient, flexible, and so kind. We would definitely want to book with him again!
John is truly fantastic! He made sure he knew of our dogs quirks and needs and took care of them accordingly. We felt at peace knowing they were under his care while we had to be away. Highly recommend!
So grateful to have found John, he was great with our "challenging" dog and sent great pics during his stay!
John did an amazing job caring for our dogs. He has an amazing energy and our dogs loved him right away! We felt confident leaving them with John and hope to use him again as a sitter in the future.

Schedule
I work and study from home, so I will be spending lots of time with your pet! I’m very flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule. I know dogs appreciate not being rushed, giving them the time and attention they deserve.
