Pet care experience

Unfortunately, I will be unavailable this August, September, and October. My Rover calendar books up quickly, therefore please book early. Your pet is cared for without the worry of other dogs being present, so there are no other dog incidents or diseases that will affect your dog, hence my prices are a little higher, but well worth being worry free of other aggressive dogs or illnesses. Before requesting, or reading my entire profile; I’m no longer boarding dogs with signs of aggression towards other dogs and or humans, it is nothing personal, just my preference, so please find another sitter to accommodate your needs. I’m usually booked up months in advance so please book early. I also give previous clients bookings over new clients. I’ve raised dogs most of my life and they bring me great joy. I pay special attention to them and treat all dogs as if they were my own. If you have two dogs the first dog is $43 a night, the second dog is only $35 a night. I do not charge more for larger dogs like most boarders do! My fenced in back yard is treated for fleas in between boarding’s. I traditionally only board one dog at a time so individual attention is given, unlike doggie daycares that can be unsanitary and overcrowded. If a client has more than one dog I can accommodate them as well. I’m retired from a college police department, therefore I have plenty of time to safely walk, play and most importantly, pay attention to your dog! I’m well versed in handling dogs on walks with a leash, as well as playing games with them. I’m very trustworthy and I understand how difficult it is to leave you dog with someone you don’t know, but rest assured I will treat them as if they were mine. I’m an avid golfer, ex-MMA practitioner and yogi who has no issues keeping pace with high energy dogs. I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love me and they always enjoy their stay and eat normally, as if they were at home. I’m fascinated with the fact that they each have different personalities and I look forward to getting to know your dog’s personality. Although there are dog sitters with lower fees, I base my fees off of my dog/life experience, integrity, and individual attention. Please consider using my services and I promise that your dog 🐶 will be treated as one of the family in a safe friendly environment. My wife works part time and she helps out occasionally and she loves dogs as much as I do. For high energy dog, Tips are appreciated. 😁 and for chewers please bring a kennel for when I run errands. I look forward to caring for your special pup. Sincerely, rover.John

John is an excellent sitter! My baby was in good hands and was happy and healthy when I picked him up. John is a great communicator and keeps you informed with pictures and updates while you're away. Will definitely book with him in the future!
