Can let me know anything that would be useful for me to know in terms of routine, schedules, any care they need, dietary restrictions, etc...they will be in good hands.

Would follow whatever their routine/schedule happens to be already with meals, walks, etc. But tend to give them lots of time and attention in general.

Dog Loving Host w fenced in yard

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong dog person currently in Pawtucket, RI offering a cozy home, lots of walks, and a fully fenced yard. I grew up with dogs (poodle, terrier, and mostly pugs) and also shared a Brussels Griffon for several years, so I’m very comfortable with different sizes and personalities. I currently get most of my dog time by sitting for family and friends. I give preference to longer stays because it allows me to build a real bond with your dog and give them a more consistent routine. With more time together, they settle in and get more comfortable. If you’re planning a trip of several days or more, I’m an especially good fit.

Amazing, only good things to say. We were caught in a blizzard and John watched our dog for an extra day at no cost. Great communication.

John is phenomenal. He treated our dogs like they were his own and I think they put him through the ringer. It's clear to see he's an animal lover. John was very easy to work with and just an easy going person. He checked in with us - asked us if certain things seemed normal with their behavior and sent us videos of them. 1000% would recommend John.

John was incredibly accommodating and was able to set my mind at ease, having to leave my dog for a week. My dog had surprise surgery just a few days before I had to leave and John still took her without hesitation, cone and sutures and all! He took great care of her and she came back happy and healed! I’m so appreciative of everything John did and I know my dog was equally appreciative of his companionship and kindness!

John is a responsible, courteous, and most importantly- a dog lover. He is always on time and enthusiastic about taking the dogs out for an adventure. My dogs cannot wait to see him.
