About John H.

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat any pet under my care the same way I treat my own pets, by giving them my full attention and by being patient and affectionate.

Information John H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have a preferred walking speed or activity level, and whether it's OK to allow your dog to meet and sniff other dogs, or if you'd prefer to avoid close encounters with other animals.

A typical day

I can be as active or as mellow as desired with any dog I'm walking. I can jog with your dog, or walk very slowly and give them plenty of time to sniff.

Pet care experience

I grew up with lots of dogs and cats and have always had a strong affection for them. I have two cats currently, and I periodically dog sit for friends who leave their yellow lab at my condo. I’m physically fit and I have experience walking large dogs, including Labradors and German Shepherds. Most dogs seem to be comfortable around me. After working in the tech industry for over 20 years, I’m now semi-retired and seeking a part-time position which allows me to get out in the community and help people and their animals. I consider myself to be reliable, friendly, organized, punctual, and a good communicator.

Cody has a wonderful rapport with dogs, cats, and people. He has a kind and understanding nature. Several of our dogs have been rescues who were very fearful of people. They all quickly accepted Cody as a trusted person and went on walks and runs with him. He has watched our dogs and cats while we were on week-long vacations, and he gave them the best of care. I highly recommend him!
