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 and walks mornings and evenings, in the many parks and trails right here in browns point.

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.

John did an awesome job watching my dog while I was out of town for the weekend. He kept me in the loop the whole time with updates and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My dog had a great time as well. He got plenty of space to run around in John’s yard and even got a trip to the park. I’d absolutely recommend John to anyone looking for a dog sitter, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.

I’ve been using John to watch my lab whenever I go on vacation, and it’s always been a really smooth experience. John always sent pictures and has been a good communicator and honestly made the process really smooth and stress-free. When I get back, my dog is happy and clearly well taken care of, which is all I could really ask for. You can tell John actually cares and isn’t just going through the motions. I would recommend John for anyone who needs some pet sitting.
