Caring home for your pup!

Pet care experience

I have a comfortable pet-oriented home in the Humbolt area of Portland (near Mississipi and Killingsworth) I love dogs and so does Zoey, who is very friendly loves to have companions to play with. Your dogs will have full access to the house, including furniture and my bed. I know that many pet owners have their dogs sleep in their bed with them, and I am happy to allow them to sleep in mine so they feel more at home and experience less separation anxiety. I have had dogs my entire life and love working with them. I am familiar with young puppies as well as older dogs and have experience dealing with the special needs of each. I am comfortable dealing with medications, special diets and even shots.

I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with John. He sent me regular updates and made me feel at ease. I would definitely leave my dog with him again.

John was thorough in his prep and asked lots of questions. We felt very comfortable our entire 2 week trip. John provided daily photos and updates, which were much appreciated. We won’t hesitate to use John again!

Information John I. would like to know about your pet

I like to know as much as possible about a dog before their owner leaves them with me. What do they like to do? When are they used to eating? What are their routines so I can keep them as close to that as possible to reduce anxiety. I am good at giving medication (pills and shots) and even better at giving love and attention. I don't have any preference about breeds since all dogs are good if raised that way. I prefer smaller dogs, since that is what I have. I like dogs to be around the same size as Zoey, so my profile lists small and medium dogs to make everyone more comfortable.

A typical day

My dog, Zoey, and I love walking around the neighborhood and we do so often. My neighbors are used to me having different dogs, and are very welcoming to meeting them!
