I love making new friends

Pet care experience

I love making new friends – especially the furry kind! I grew up on a small farm with horses, chicken, cats, rabbits, all sorts of critters. I have always had a dog, from dalmatians to Basenji's, I could not imagine a moment in my life without a doggo companion. Several family members are professional dog trainers and international dog show judges. Using their wisdom, I have been able to build my skills to work with my dogs to not only be well behaved, but also grow our bond. With my experience, your pup would be treaded like a show dog – true royalty!

I contacted John to schedule a day of doggy daycare for my pup and am so glad I did! John was very accommodating with a last minute time change, and understanding when I was late to pickup my dog from his house. John was punctual, communicative, and very knowledgeable - I felt comfortable and confident leaving my dog with him from the time we had our meet and greet! And his adorable Basenji was a bonus! I received photos and videos of our dogs having a blast together consistently throughout the day. 100% would book again with John and highly recommend!

John was a fantastic sitter to our dog Rosie! He was exceptionally good at keeping us updated with photos throughout Rosie's stay. I highly recommend him to care for your baby.

We left our dog with John for an overnight and our experience was outstanding! I felt calm and assured that our dog was in safe and caring hands the entire time. John brought her for a long walk through the woods and to a dog park right after we dropped her off, and he sent us photos and updates all through the stay. Would absolutely recommend and book again. Thank you, John!

John was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup with a sitter & he really set the bar high for all other sitters. His communication was great, we were always kept up to date on our baby’s adventures throughout the day. He took some great pictures too!
