Pet care experience

Your dogs are part of our family! ❤

Hi, I’m John, a pet sitter with years of experience in dog sitting and dog walking. I understand that your pets are an important part of your family, and I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care in a safe and calm home environment. I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember and have always been involved in their daily care, training, and routines. Over time, I’ve developed a strong ability to understand animal behavior and energy, which helps me respond to each pet’s needs—whether that’s play, rest, reassurance, or attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and naturally form a bond with each one in my care. Pet Services 🐶 I provide care with lots of love in my home to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. Services include feeding, playtime, walks, and companionship. My goal is to create a home like environment where they feel secure, relaxed, and cared for throughout their stay.

John is great to work with. John has been so reliable and he has gone above and beyond to help me with my dog. My dog always gets so excited to see him.

John was great with my puppy! Pick up and drop off were easy and Rue was tuckered out when she got home.

John was great with Pepper! She didn't want to leave! He kept me updated with pictures and was very understanding when it took me a little longer to pick up due to my car not starting at the airport on my return. I will absolutely be a repeat customer.

I had a long trip and Zuko stayed for several days with John. He was great, took good care of Zuko and communicated daily with us. I recommend his services.

Safety, trust & environment

Contact me 📲: please reach out for any sort of need relating to what your dog may need. Please feel open to scheduling a meet and greet or time to talk about getting your dogs proper care. Someone is always home and able to care for your dogs. I have a big backyard and an extremely friendly blue heeler that loves to play. I am able to offer many different types of care for your dog such as treatments, training, or medical care.

Pets

A typical day

My home has a fully fenced yard, and dogs are always supervised while outside. I can see most of the backyard from my living room, allowing me to keep a close eye on them at all times. I prioritize safety, comfort, and structure so your dogs feel secure throughout their stay. With years of experience caring for dogs, I’m able to read their body language and energy levels to respond appropriately to their needs—whether that means playtime, rest, or reassurance. Your dogs will be treated with the same attentiveness and care as my own.
