Your friend is my friend!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and love them with every fiber of my being. I live with a cat and a recently adopted 1 year old Pit Bull sonthe big and the small are my friend. I am in good shape and love being outside so I can match any type of time your dog requires. Whether you want me to take him or her on a walk, run, or hike I can do it. I have experience with dogs of all sizes through friends and family. I am strong enough to deal with larger dogs and gentle enough to deal with my parent's toy Chihuahua. So if you are looking for someone to take care of your canine companion. I am your man. Let's work something out! Thank you so much!! John

John was fantastic with our dog Rey! He was communicative and sent photos of the check in. Will definitely ask him to watch Rey again!

I cannot thank John enough for being Zeus's companion for a full week. John checked in with me all week and sent pictures. Going away on vacation leaving Zeus really stressed me out but John made me feel comfortable enough that I was able to relax on my vacation. Zeus was amazing when I came home, like I never left. I would recommend John to anyone in need of a Pet Sitter. Zeus is a 160lb South African Mastiff. He is a strong and confident dog, just needs to trust a person before he welcomes him in our home. John knew exactly what Zeus is all about and bonded fairly quickly. Thank you again John

John was fantastic. He made sure our infamously grumpy cat was happy and exercised. He sent pictures every day, and I know Clementine loved him! He even watered our plants and did the dishes. I’d leave ten stars if I could!

Safety, trust & environment

A lot of it will depend on what you need. I will work with positive only experiences. I will aim to make any walk or ball game fun and safe by being aware of my surroundings and keeping an eye on what the dog enjoys.

Information John L. would like to know about your pet

I mostly would like to know about tendencies with other animals. Should I be prepared when another dog walks by? Is there any history of violence or medical problems I should be aware of.

A typical day

In general, I would walk around the home of the dog that I am walking. If there is a park or hiking trail nearby I will add preference to that (with the owners' prior consent). If ball playing is there game I would happily play fetch (or in some cases throw the ball, chase down the dog and try to get the ball back).
