Canine Caretaker, Feline Fanatic

Pet care experience

My family had pets since I was just a baby. I grew up with a dog, two cats, and a rabbit. I currently have two goofy cats named Bo and Mako. I've been a pet sitter for friends and family for years, which gave me experience with all kinds of animals. No matter what kind of personality your little ones have, I'm well equipped to give them the care they need.

I cannot express enough gratitude to John for the exceptional care and love they provided to my rambunctious 7-month-old puppy while I was away. Leaving my fur baby in someone else's care has been a source of anxiety for me, but he is a true gem. My pup is a bundle of energy, always ready for an adventure, and keeping up with him can be quite the task. However, John not only managed to keep up with his playful antics but also nurtured his exuberant spirit with boundless patience and understanding. It was evident that John genuinely loves dogs and has a remarkable ability to connect with them on a deeper level. Throughout the four days, John ensured my puppy's happiness and well-being were their top priorities. They followed all the instructions diligently, making sure he got the right amount of exercise, playtime, and rest. I was overjoyed to receive daily updates with pictures and videos, which instantly put my mind at ease and allowed me to enjoy my trip knowing my furry friend was in the best hands. One of the things that impressed me the most was John's attention to detail. They noticed small quirks in my pup's behavior and addressed them appropriately, proving their commitment to providing the highest level of care. It is evident that they treated my dog as if he were their own, and that's something truly special. Not only did John cater to my puppy's physical needs, but they also showered him with love and affection. I returned to a happy and content pup who seemed to have formed a genuine bond with John. If you're looking for a pet sitter who goes above and beyond, John is the person to trust. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter. They have become an indispensable part of our furry family, and I wouldn't hesitate to entrust them with my pup again in the future. Thank you, John and Anna, for your exceptional care and for treating my pup like one of your own. You are a true blessing to pet parents and their furry companions!

We have used John on several occasions to take care of our dog while we were on vacation and he did an amazing job. John was attentive to all our dog’s specific needs in regards to feeding, walks, and play time. He was also very good about making sure she received her medication as prescribed. John has a real calmness around pets and our dog loves him. Having John take care of our dog allows us to leave knowing she is in great hands.

We'll go on walks through the neighborhood, play in your yard, or even in your home if you prefer. I'm very patient if your dog enjoys a slower walk with lots of sniffing. I'm always ready pull out the cat toys, and play for a while if your cats need the attention/exercise. I will make sure they get the exercise they need to live a healthy life. My two boys get their litterboxes cleaned twice a day, so I'm happy to keep your little one's clean too.

Information John H. would like to know about your pet

Letting me know what kind of personality your animal has makes it easier and safer for them. Do they have anxiety, like to hide, excitable around other animals or people? Nothing is irrelevant. Medical conditions such as what medicine they take, or allergies they have is also very important.

A typical day

I enjoy going on walks in the local neighborhood, but if your animal is more of a homebody, I'm happy to stay in the yard or inside if it's a hot day. I'm also happy to relax and snuggle up with them if they're in need of attention. For my own kittens, we play all throughout the day. Laser pointers or strings are their favorites, but I'm game for anything.
