EMT, Loving, and Vigilant
Pet care experience
My family member, Sandy, was an adopted mixed german shepherd labrador retriever mutt, and a very large dog of mine for 13 years before her recent passing. I am a volunteer EMT for Virginia Beach EMS running rescue out of Princess Anne Courthouse for 3 years now. During the summer, I am a lifeguard supervisor employed by Virginia Beach EMS at Sandbridge Beach, in charge of 54 lifeguards and the safety of patrons for 4 miles of beach (I know a thing or two about watching people and making sure they are safe!). I am also a recent graduate of the Virginia Military Institute and hope to pursue a career in medicine. I am passionate about physical fitness! Having to uphold a strict standard of fitness while being a midshipman in VMI Naval ROTC has made me love outdoor recreation and especially long walks and runs wherever I can. Being Virginia Beach born and raised, I love the water and mostly surf in my free time or spend time with my family & friends by the water.
Reviews
Our dogs love John! He runs with them and is able to burn off some of that puppy energy! Highly recommend him!
Very personable and able to handle high energy dogs! Highly recommend him!
Highly, highly recommend John! He is very prompt, very attentive to my puppies needs and very respectful. They are high energy border collies and he handled them perfectly! He takes the time to learn the animals routines. He is amazing!
John has always been so wonderful with my dogs! He’s taken amazing care of them when I’ve been out of town and they are so excited whenever they get to see him. I highly recommend him to care for any animal. He’s extremely conscientious and caring.

My home is completely fenced off and I have plenty of backyard for running! The tile flooring in my home makes it scratch proof and cools off any dog who lays on it.

Information john m. would like to know about your pet
I absolutely love big dogs! German Shepherds to Great Danes, I truly am a big believer in the "man's best friend". Small dogs are perfect as well, not a preference for any small dog!
A typical day
I drive as my friends would call it, a "mom-car", my Toyota 2011 highlander with more than enough space for the largest of dogs being a sports utility vehicle. I have a park with lots of roaming space directly behind my backyard and with your permission, I would absolutely take your dog to the beach for a fun walk by the water. My fenced off back yard has adequate running space for worry-free adventures and hazards free environment.

I am currently not working and am only studying to take the MCAT (for medical school admissions), so I have plenty of free time aside from studying to have fun taking care of any furry family members.
