Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any specific needs so they feel secure and at ease. Whether in your home or out on a walk, I’m attentive, responsible, and treat every pet like my own.
Information John H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs or preferences. The more I know, the better I can provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience for them. I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments.
A typical day
A typical visit includes a mix of exercise, play, and companionship. I enjoy going on walks tailored to your dog’s energy level, playing with their favorite toys, and making sure they get plenty of attention. Whether it’s an active outing or a relaxed visit, I adapt to what your dog enjoys most.

Reliable & Attentive Dog Care
Pet care experience
I have 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m attentive, reliable, and focused on making each dog feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, or calm companionship, I adjust to your dog’s needs. I’m also comfortable with feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and providing updates with photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. My middle name is Cotter and what I normally go by. Sorry for any confusion!

Reviews
He was great. Showed up as expected. We got reports daily. Thanks!
John was amazing with my dog Chama. He is a trusted friend who has stayed at my house on multiple occasions. He is a great communicator, passionate about not only pets but his family and friends. I recommend John for pet sitting 100%. Thanks John.
John (Cotter) is an exceptional individual, and brings his whole heart to dog sitting and dog care. He is extremely conscientious and thoughtful, with his human relationships, and know the same extends to the way he thinks of our furry friends. He is calm, mild mannered, yet definitely has a passion for playful banter and much personality to keep, human and canine, engaged and attentive, alike. He's defintely known to enjoy dog love and kisses and know he reciprocates the sme. John (Cotter) is a great resource and caretaker to trust your loved one with and sure to manage owner expectations with updates and regular communication, and dog needs as well. 5 star service!!!
Cotter is a dog whisperer. My two pups love it when he drops in. He is super responsible and cares greatly for my pets well being.
