A typical day

I will gladly walk your dog(s) during my stay and provide all the play they desire. If you’re comfortable with it, I will take them on car rides and adventures during the day. I’d never leave your animals unattended or in a hot car. If your dog likes to stay put, that can also be accommodated! I’m here to make sure people and their pets are relaxed and stress-free while they are apart.

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my whole life. I’ve have cared for them through all stages. I am experienced with administering medications and adhering to veterinarian instructions. I am the person my friends and family call when they need help with their pets. I am confident I can earn your trust, as well as your dog’s. I have a knack for shy animals and know how to work with animals’ idiosyncrasies in a compassionate way.

This is our second time with John. This time we were gone for two weeks and were nervous about leaving our pups for so long. With John we had absolutely nothing to worry about. The dogs were great when we finally got home. The pictures he sent every day showed us how happy they were and how well they were being treated. John stayed overnight the whole time and the house was just as we left it. John's extremely reliable and conscientious; we can't recommend him enough!

John did a great job with our dogs! He stayed at our house and everything went seamlessly. He is very reliable, punctual and the dogs seemed to really like him. He sent updates daily with photos of our boys, which means so much while we are away from our fur babies! We will definitely use John again!!!

John did an outstanding job housesitting and taking care of our dogs when we went on an overnight trip. I could tell from the dogs' facial expressions in the photos he sent that they were having a good time. He walked them multiple times and played with them in the back yard. The house was just as we left it when we returned. John is very professional and I can tell he really loves dogs. Next time we need to leave the pets, John is definitely at the top of my list!
