Safety, trust & environment

I follow the owner's instructions closely to keep things familiar and stress-free for the pet. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, litter box or potty breaks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure to leave the home just as I found it—clean and tidy.

Information john o. would like to know about your pet

Their daily routine: Feeding times, walk schedules, bedtime habits, etc. Personality: Are they shy, playful, energetic, or anxious around new people or animals? Health info: Any medical conditions, allergies, or medications they need. Triggers or fears: Do they dislike loud noises, other dogs, or certain environments? Favorite things: Toys, treats, games, or comforting routines that make them happy! House rules: Are pets allowed on furniture? Any off-limits areas or training expectations?

A typical day

Walks & Outdoor Time: For dogs, I offer safe and enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level—whether it’s a quick stroll or a longer adventure. Cuddle Sessions: Some pets just want affection and calm companionship—I’m always happy to provide belly rubs, chin scratches, or lap time.

John was very accommodating and flexible with both the start and end times, which I really appreciated. Willow was in great spirits when I got home, and I felt comfortable knowing she was well cared for. He also took the time to come to the house and meet me and Willow prior to the booking.I would definitely book with him again.

John is an excellent house and dog sitter. Archie enjoyed his company and he left the house in good condition.

John took excellent care of our dog while we were gone for 16 days. He stayed in our home, and when we came home, the house was clean and everything was well-maintained. John sent daily updates and pictures. We felt very comfortable having John watch our dog and stay at our house.
