Availability

Quality pet care is a part of my life. I spend as much time as possible daily with my 14 year-old Lab mix, taking her out three times a day to stretch and use the restroom. In order to meet her special dietary needs, I cook her a mixture of fruits, vegetables and lean protein including chicken and eggs. I also administer supplements daily after her evening meal and take her as-needed for baths, vet appointments, and dentals.

Safety, trust & environment

When working with a client, pet safety, happiness, and owner satisfaction are my goals. I closely follow instructions and do not improvise unless safety demands it. I communicate with the client as necessary and/or required, and remain grateful their trust throughout my work.

Information John G. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about any special needs your pet may have in order to provide them the loving care they need and deserve. My goal is maximum client satisfaction.

A typical day

I am more than happy to spent time engaging with your dog to help ensure their day is anxiety-free. I will gladly take him/her or them on brisk, extended walks to burn energy and remain calm in your absence. I will also play games such as fetch and tug of war both at home and outdoors, if an option. Lastly, I can take your dog to the dog park upon request.

John is professional, responsive, and clearly loves animals. Our two dogs and one cat adore him, and he has cared for them several times now. He communicates reliably, follows instructions, and always puts our pets’ well-being first. This is someone you can count on and trust with your animals and your home

We had a wonderful experience with John and couldn’t be more grateful for the care he provided. Leaving my senior pup can be stressful, but John made the entire experience feel easy and reassuring from start to finish. I also really appreciated the regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely be booking John again!

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.
