John and his family did an outstanding job looking after our dogs, They came home tuckered out and happy, which is a great sign! I wouldn't hesitate to book them again.

John is fantastic! He really helped us out last minute when we were in a bind to find someone to watch our Colby. When we arrived, he gave us a tour, and we loved that he has a fenced-in backyard. Colby quickly made friends with their pup, Lucy. Communication with John was super easy, and I received updates and photos throughout. We will definitely use John again in the future!

John was great with Sammy. He was extremely helpful and communicated quickly and well. I’m glad I found him when I needed someone!

John is an AMAZING pet sitter. He took the time to get to know our dog, cared for him like family and gave him a safe place to be taken care pf while we were away. John gave us frequent updates and sent photos. Our Niko came home happy, safe and I am sure missing all the fun he had. Thank you John for being so patient, kind and caring for Niko so well. We are so lucky we found you on Rover!

John and his kids took very good care of my dog Negan. Flexible pickup and drop off times. Updates on how my dog was doing over the weekend and included pictures. Negan came home tired from playing with the dogs and cats. Definitely will be using John as our dog sitter in the future.

Pets

A typical day

We play with our own animals quite a few times a day, and they have plenty of toys and chewie toys as well. If there are favorite toys or activities your animal needs, we'll go with that so they're comfortable. We like to go on walks in the woods behind our house and get some good exercise and freedoms with the dogs.

41 to 100 lbs

All of our animals are unique, and don't think of any of them as special needs? Weird question as we're all unique as people :)
