Information John M. would like to know about your pet
I would like for the dogs to have a harness for walking, please let me know of any special requirements for your dogs to be safe and happy on walks and boarding. If there are any social anxieties that your dog has, I am able to accommodate, I just need to know!
A typical day
I love talking them on long walks to see the neighborhood and park areas. I follow the dogs lead when on walks and in the parks while keeping them engaged and safe. When in my fenced in back yard I love to play fetch with the dogs.

Pet care experience
I have had dogs in my life since being a young boy. From Huskies to Chinese Powder Puffs. I am a true dog lover and will treat your dog as my own! I am very active and enjoy walks through parks and enriching engagement through play with dogs. My last dog Rio was a disabled, rescued Chinese Crested Powder Puff, his disability didn't slow us down and he lived his best life until he was 15 years old! I currently help my daughter with her two young pups and senior dog when needed and am looking to have the joy of a companion to walk with, or board! I believe all dogs are pure athletes and therefore need lots of exercise for a long healthy life. My latest Dog Rio lived to be 15. At 2 years old it is believed he was hit by a car. He had his half hip crushed restricting the passage of stool. A daily addition of laxative to his food prevented any obstruction. Also his rear right foot was turned backward so he developed a thick callus on the back side of his paw. Rio traveled everywhere with me, from beaches in Brazil, to deliveries in Owen Sound, to a day in Ottawa to experience the freedom convoy. On April 30, 2025 around 3:00 in the afternoon shortly after his 3rd struggling walk of the day he passed quietly in my arms.
Reviews

John was really flexible with us this weekend and kept him much longer on the last day than we anticipated! He’s great with communicating with us and we really appreciate him!

John was so kind and even though Chase was only with him for a few hours, he sent a picture during their walk and it seemed like a good time. I would definitely rebook with him.

Benny had another great day with John. John is good about offering details, about how the day went and he is so good to Benny. We feel sure that Benny is well looked after, and always has a great day with John.

Took great care of meatball as always! Meatball always gets really excited when he knows he’s going to Johns! Makes us happy knowing he’s happy to be there! Thank you for being so amazing with the boy!
