Pet care experience

accepting new clients in Klahanie

💉fully vaccinated Hi there, I'm John! I have had pets my whole life including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, fish, rabbits and a goat. I lived on a farm in North Dakota for 9 years, earned my bachelors degree from NDSU & now live in Klahanie (❤️PNW). Currently no full time job, so timing and availability might be very flexible. Pets require a lot of attention and love and I am ready to help you keep your dog happy while you are gone/working. I look froward to meeting you and your dog. I will give discounts for repeat customers & frequently run specials. Please send me any questions or concerns. ✋ Don’t hesitate to book in advance or even request last minute.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and rest. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, affection, and clear communication with owners throughout each visit.

We highly recommend John! He is wonderful with our cat and always sends us feedback and photos. This is the third time we’ve hired John.

John took great care of my senior dog Fiona. His communication was excellent.

This is the second time we have hired John. At our first meet and greet our very shy cat Callie soon came up to John for pets. He takes excellent care with lots of interactive play time. He is very responsive to booking and any questions. We highly recommend John!

John once again was an absolute life saver during the unexpected snow while I was out of town. Truly went above and beyond!

Last minute booking really put my mind at ease (I had friends also checking on my boys, but I don’t trust ANYONE as much as I do John! 🩷🩷🩷🩷).

John was wonderful with communication and most importantly, care for our cat. I know she appreciated the pets and food while we were gone.

Schedule

Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I don’t have a full-time job, which allows me to be flexible, attentive, and fully present for each pet’s needs, schedule, and comfort.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
John can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I like to know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, routines, energy levels, behavioral quirks, and favorite activities. This helps me provide personalized, stress-free care and maintain consistency for your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
