About John H.

Communication

16 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
100% bookings with photo updates

Skills

25 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to make sure I can bring plenty of fun & relaxing energy for your dog and to leave your home & space better and cleaner than when I arrive. I also want to keep things as consistent as possible for your furry friends while you are away- from schedules, to commands and everything in between.

Information John H. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know what the dog likes and dislikes are to best accommodate them, as well as any important care instructions (typical feeding schedule/amount, typical bathroom schedule, etc). Any other rules you have for your pup, please let me know so I can maintain consistency for them (ex- if they aren’t allowed on furniture at your place)

A typical day

I am happy to interact with your dog as much or as little as desired depending on their needs & energy level. We can go on walks, play games that your dog enjoys (fetch, tug of war, etc.), or simply snuggle and chill.

Pet care experience

Hi there, I grew up with both dogs and cats in my house and have always had lots of love for all kinds of animals (yes, even spiders lol). I have a lot of extra free time but not enough to have a pet of my own, so I’d love to hang out with yours as needed! I’ve always been able to connect with dogs and most cats. I’ve looked after dogs in both my personal and professional lives. There’s a mutual respect I strive to maintain, which looks different for every puppo based on their needs, so I can be as firm or nurturing as needed for the dog’s temperament. I work remotely full time during the day and although I will be busy between data entry and conference calls, I can still provide constant supervision and plenty of potty breaks and play time. I am very familiar with dogs that aren’t very social or are reactive with other dogs- so the dog parks can be avoided if needed. I tend to avoid other dogs on walks regardless, to make sure your pup stays safe and relaxed. I always want to provide the best possible care and always appreciate insights into your dogs habits, personality and quirks!

Oswald and Beaux love having John stay and watch them! We so appreciate how great John is with our boys and he’s even a great house guest too going above and beyond. We’re so glad we have someone the pets know and love that we can trust with them. Thanks John as always!
