Information John H. would like to know about your pet

All dogs are welcome! I typically watch 3 or more dogs each day so I screen very carefully for aggression to make sure we always have a friendly and social group at the house. First time clients must schedule a meet and greet before their stay to make sure everything is a good fit.

A typical day

Walks around Norwalk in the Broadriver district along with a full, fenced-in backyard. Professional pet photographer who will take TONS of pics of your pup!

Dog Lover and Pet Photographer!

Pet care experience

I've raised and cared for multiple dogs of all sizes and ages. I work from home as a pet photographer so will be able to give your dog all-day attention and love, as well as professional pet photos as a bonus! My house will give your pup plenty of room to play inside, and a large fenced-in yard will allow them to be outdoors as much as they want. If you're working on training your dog, I can continue those lessons during their stay. We typically go out on a walk 2-3 times a day along with letting them into the backyard every hour or two. I'm also an avid picture/video taker and will send photos and vids of your dog to you throughout their stay!

John was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. You can tell right away that caring for dogs isn’t just his job, it’s something he genuinely loves. He kept us updated every day with videos and check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog looked happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust John again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, full-time dog sitter.

We’ve been using John for weekly daycare and occasional boarding for our 3-year-old Vizsla for the past year and a half, and he’s truly the best!! He’s incredibly experienced and does a fantastic job managing the “pack” each day, making sure all the pups get along so everyone stays safe and happy. The dogs get plenty of playtime balanced with rest and cuddles, which we really appreciate. John is also super accommodating with feeding schedules, special instructions, and anything else your dog might need. On top of that, he’s always responsive and flexible with our schedules and messages. We love John and would (and have!) recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, safe, low-stress care for their pup.

John is terrific! He asked about my dogs wants and needs and listened! He then took care to see that she was as comfortable as possible in a new place—his place. She did so well!! Because of his care.
