Reliable and Responsible

Pet care experience

I have lived with dogs most of my life. Currently, I have a 3 year old boxer, Quincy. I am informally trained by the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan. I will care for your dog and keep him/her under control while out on a walk or just playing with any other dogs staying with me. I can also assist with some behavior issues if needed. I pay attention to details and will relay any information that is pertinent to you as the owner. Your dog and I will enjoy long walks in the local neighborhood or we may go to the local dog park. I LOVE DOGS!! My schedule is very flexible as I work as an independent contractor and I can come and go as needed. You will be satisfied with my service and professionalism. I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to care for your pup. I have walked and cared for all types of dogs with numerous special needs. I live in a great neighborhood with a huge park behind my house and a fenced in backyard. I am very good with dogs and every time an owner warns me about poor walking behavior, it never affects my ability to have their dog walk nicely.

John is our guy! This is the 3rd or 4th time we’ve used John to watch our lab while we go on vacation. Can’t recommend him enough.

John was great for our dog Hemlock when we were on vacation for a week! John was easy to communicate with, both before boarding and during. He has a lot of experience with dogs and boarding, so I felt at ease boarding our 1 year old golden retriever with him. During boarding, John sent a few updates/photos, and always answered my texts or questions. When I picked Hemlock up, he was in good spirits! He had been eating well and sleeping and had plenty of play time with the other dogs at John’s. John had very helpful and informed feedback about Hemlock’s stay and behaviors, which I appreciated. I highly recommend John and we’ll look forward to using his services again. Thanks, John!

Information John G. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any preference of breed. I am good with all dogs. I am willing to adjust to the needs of all dogs. I can also work with any behavior issues that may need to be addressed.

A typical day

While with me, your dog will enjoy plenty of socialization with my Quincy and possibly other dogs. I live very close to Nottaway park and I love to bring my Quincy there to enjoy the open space and walk the 1+ mile loop.
