Safety, trust & environment

While doing my pet visits, I will make sure all pets are accounted for. Feed and fill up water depending on what is needed. I will make sure all animals get to spend time outside. For cats, I will provide treats if available, fresh food and water, as well as deep clean the litter box on each visit.

Information John G. would like to know about your pet

I am open to working with all breeds with no issues with allergies or size. Only think I ask is if the dog is territorial of the home, please let me know so can make sure the pup understands I am there to take care of them.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active and engaged. I make sure they are always safely cared for and never put into danger. I have experience ensuring no injuries occur and know the signs of a dog getting tired due to my dog getting older and starting to experience slight hip dysplasia. I am active myself and can take them on long runs if that is something your dog requires.

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs and cats for years. I currently have a 10 year old Shepard/Lab mix and 2 14 year old cats. I am comfortable with all aspects of animal care. No issues walking the dog to use the bathroom or taking them for a run to stretch their legs and get additional exercise.

What an excellent caregiver. John was the first person I ever hired to do a drop-in care for my cats, both indoor and a colony that lives on my property. John showed his dedication to caring with being timely, listening and execution of the care requested along with updates at each visit. Bottom line, John does not disappoint, you can have peace of mind with him to care for your pet family.

John was very attentive and had great communication while I was away. My cats warmed up to him quickly and they seemed to look forward to seeing him. I will definitely be using his services in the future!
