Pet care experience

Animals have always been a part of my life growing up and I have cared for them since I was a kid. Our family has owned several dogs over the years and I understand how stressful it is to find a reliable sitter. I am currently working full time from home so I can provide plenty of attention throughout the day with a large yard, walks in the many parks and trails right here in browns point and long fetch sessions at the off leash park

Highly recommend John H! He took fantastic care of my pup and kept me updated with regular photos. My Phoebe returned home a very happy, calm, and well-rested dog. Reliable, professional, and excellent at communication—I’ll definitely be hiring John again.

We left our dog for several weeks with John. I was nervous about being gone for so long but John was great and sent us lots of updates and photos. Our dog was happy and well cared for, I would definitely recommend!

John had my son Monty for a week while I was out of town. I have a hard time trusting people with my dog but John put all my worries at ease with his attentiveness and care for making Monty feel at home when we were away. John was accommodating to Monty’s dietary and walk routine. Overall super satisfied. Will use him again!

John watched my golden retriever for the week. He did an exceptional job giving me daily updates. Lots of pictures! His house is also very spacious with a big yard! Overall I was very happy with my decision to use John.
