Pet care experience

I haven't been without a dog for over 50 years. German Shepherds, Frenchies, Cocker Spaniels and Dachshunds. For the last 15 years, we've had a pair of Abyssinian cats. I also have 5 chickens who are loved and pampered.

John was amazing and had great communication with us. He gave an update with pictures everyday. Even sent a video a couple of times! He left the house as he found it, even washing his sheets and towels which we didn't expect nor ask him to do! The most unexpected thing he did was to leave a bowl of fresh eggs his chickens laid for us! Will definitely use John again.

Jon was great while we were away - we had an emergency and he made time to go over and check on the cats at an unscheduled time. He gave updates every time of what he did and sent photos. Even brought out mail in while we were away which was really appreciated.

John took incredible care of my two pets while I was away! I was so thankful to have someone so reliable watch them, it gave me piece of mind! I will definitely be reaching back out to John if I need another dog and cat sitter!

I let the dog set the pace of the walk. Some pups like to cover lots of ground, some want to stop and smell everything along the way.
