Availability
I am currently doing pet-sitting full time and my schedule is fairly flexible except when it comes to already existing bookings (I have several regular dog friends I walk weekly). Last minute bookings are not preferred, but shoot me a message anyway and I’ll see what I can do!

About John H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always treat any pet under my care with the same amount of love and utmost care that I do with my own. I keep all dogs in my care on leash when out in public— this ensures they cannot escape/run away and are not approaching other potentially reactive dogs either (I always ask the owners before letting them meet other dogs on walks). I currently live in a small apartment with my pup and two kittens so I cannot offer boarding or daycare at this time. My specialty is walks and drop in visits where I can shower your pet with love and care for them exactly how you would. I am very good at making friends with new pets in other peoples homes, even if they are shy or bark at first (100% success rate)
Information John H. would like to know about your pet
What do I need to know about your little fur baby? Any behavioral problems or separation anxiety to be aware of? Do they play nice with other pets? Any allergies? Any medications to administer? I will accommodate my routine around anything that I must (avoid other dogs, cats or other people if need be), but it helps to know ahead of time, so please just give me a heads up beforehand!
A typical day
We will most likely go exploring the neighborhood together and try to find a nice grassy area or park for some playtime. I’ll follow whatever walk routes that are suggested or try to find the nearest dog park (if they are into that).

Pet care experience
FOR FIRST TIME ROVER CLIENTS: use my referral code and get 20$ off first booking - JOHNH93617 I love all pets and have been this way my whole life—from humungous furry dogs to smaller feline friends, and everything in between. Since a very young age the responsibilities of our family dogs fell to me and besides the #2 scooping, I couldn’t have been happier. I have had 3 blind dogs under my care in the past and I can easily adjust to accommodate any special needs your animal may have. I have also raised mice, hamsters, lizards, fish, and ferrets if you happen to need some non-traditional pet help!
Cat care experience
John also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Very friendly and great communication!
John’s the best! My dog loves him!!
Thanks for taking such good care of Roscoe!
John is trustworthy, reliable, and extremely calming to my dog. She doesn’t even bark when he arrives which doesn’t happen with anyone else. Highly recommend!
