Your Pet’s New Best Friend

With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I offer dependable, compassionate, and professional in-home pet care. My love for animals has shaped my life both personally and professionally. I’ve volunteered for several years at veterinary clinics, assisting with basic animal care, post-op monitoring, and administering medications under supervision. That experience has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, health warning signs, and how to handle emergencies with calm and care. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or overnight sitting, I prioritize safety, routine, and emotional comfort for every pet I care for. My goal is to ensure your pet feels secure and happy while you’re away—and that you have peace of mind knowing they’re in excellent hands. What I Offer: • Personalized care tailored to your pet’s routine and needs • Experience with senior pets, puppies, and animals with special medical needs • Medication administration (oral, topical, injections if required) • Detailed updates with photos and notes • Prompt communication I’d love to meet you and your furry family member. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great fit!

John was amazing and took great care of both of our girls. The house was very tidy once we returned and will definitely use him again in the future

John did an awesome job watching our pets while we were away... You could tell from the pics he sent that our pets loved him. Will definitely book with him again in the future.

We were so glad to have found John to dog sit Frankie for us! He was great at communicating, flexible, and friendly. Best experience we’ve ever had leaving Frankie while going out of town which honestly meant the world to us! She came home happy like she was coming home from a vacation as well :) 10/10

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very dog friendly apartment in a safe area with a large grassy lawn perfect for exercising and playing, and a dedicated fenced in dog park.

A typical day

There’s a grassy park behind the house and a little nature trail next to it where people walk their dogs, perfect for exercise and keeping them stimulated. I have pet toys around too.
