Uncle John Loves Dogs and Cats

Pet care experience

I have had numerous dogs and cats that have meant the world to me, including multiple pets at the same time and I have loved the dogs and cats that belong to friends and family. I love to spoil them with attention, belly rubs and treats. When I am about to visit a friend who has a dog or cat, I am more excited about seeing the pet than the human. I’m a semi-retired person with plenty of time available. I am generally an early riser but my schedule is extremely flexible. I enjoy a nice walk with reasonably well behaved dogs and I have shown my ability to slowly get dogs to accept me who were otherwise hostile. I have purchased a pet sitter insurance policy for your protection. I am able and happy to keep you updated throughout the day and I would love to shower your pets with love and affection so you can relax on your trip. Plus, I will leave your home as if nobody ever stayed there.

As alway, John did a great job looking after my house and Yorkie while I was away. I really appreciate the reliable communication. Thank you!

As always, John took great care of my Yorkie Ivy while I was on a week long trip. I appreciate the regular communication and pictures! Thank you!

John was amazing for 2 weeks staying in our home and taking the best care of our babies. I think it’s pretty complicated as 1 of the pups was severely damaged when we rescued him and John is a gentle giant. He gave us updates and really helped give us peace of mind while away. We are happy to have him come again and now he is part of the family. Thank you “Uncle John”

Safety, trust & environment

I'm sorry but I do not care for pets in my home. While in YOUR home, I will be as non intrusive as possible. If I'm there to drop in, I would rarely be anywhere other than the entry and kitchen and wherever the animals prefer to lounge. I have pet sitter insurance for your peace of mind. I am fully vaccinated against COVID.

Information John L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what special needs your pet has. Please let me know if I can give them treats and if so whether they need special kinds of treats.

A typical day

I'm a great fan of gentle belly rubs and scratches behind the ears for both dogs and cats. I love to use their toys to stimulate them and I have a laser light that kitties go crazy for.
