Since I currently have a very open and flexible schedule, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day instead of only checking in between work hours. This allows me to be fully present for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and making sure every pet feels comfortable, cared for, and never rushed.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for my two dogs in my own home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

Information John L. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or allergies. I also would like to know how they behave around other animals and people, any fears or triggers they may have, favorite activities or toys, and anything specific that helps them feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy while they’re with me. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we’ll spend time going on walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, outdoor playtime, belly rub sessions, and relaxing cuddle time. I also enjoy helping dogs stay mentally stimulated, with toys, basic training reinforcement, and lots of one-on-one attention so they feel comfortable, entertained, and loved throughout the stay.

John was great and reliable. Both my dogs loved him and they are looking forward to regular walks with him during the week.

J. Sebastian has been amazing to our dogs for years. Has staying overnight and cared for them multiple times and the “girls” love playing with him. I highly recommend him for any needs you may have for your furry ones.

Sebas has cared for my cat on several occasions, and i’m very particular about my cat’s routine. I like the bowl cleaned daily, fresh water kept in multiple spots, and playtime every day. Sebas always follows directions carefully and sends photos and updates, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. He is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring with animals. I highly recommend him for pet care, and i will absolutely continue trusting him with my own pets.
