Information John O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your dog enjoys, when they like to be fed, get outside, toilet break requirements, or anything at all that will enable me to ensure your doggo has the best experience during their stay! Policies: Alone-Time Accommodation: Every pet has different comfort levels when it comes to being left alone. If your pup needs constant company and isn’t comfortable being left alone for ahort periods of time, I offer customized care with a small upcharge based on alone-time limits: • **2 hours max:** +$20/day • **1 hour max:** +$40/day This allows me to take the required time off work etc. to accommodate the dog’s routine, reduce stress, and keep them feeling happy and secure during their stay! Intensive Barking/Whining: Although uncommon, some pets have a tendency to whine or bark extensively for attention etc. and while it is totally acceptable in moderation, extensive periods that require me to take time off work etc. to give undivided attention to your pet, a small upcharge will apply to the booking. I’ll send you video updates so you can see how your pup is doing if this situation does arrive. Extensive additional care adjustment:+$40/day.

A typical day

I enjoy getting outside throughout the day for seawall walks, heading to different parks and just walking around different areas. I like to cycle and run so can take your dog on runs if they are comfortable with that. Ball games, frisbee games in the local dog parks and green areas, play and interaction within the home, whatever your pet is comfortable with and used to doing I can accommodate.

John and his partner were fantastic. They were so calm with our golden and he was clearly well taken care of and relaxed when we came to pick him up. He was flexible with pick up and drop off and sent us regular updates. I would highly recommend him if you need a sitter you can rely on!

John was communicative and shared info on how Mylo was doing throughout. Mylo takes a bit of time to settle down with a new environment for the first time and I appreciate how John worked with me to ensure that Mylo settled in and was happy within a couple of days. Thank you!

Bonny had a great time with John and his partner. She came home rested and cheerful. We'd be happy to leave her overnight with them again!
