Pet care experience
I remember being a kid, the first time seeing a dog, and thinking "whoa, a teddy bear that's alive! AWESOME!!!" I've loved dogs ever since. I've worked at Doggy Daycares, and was often the "Large Dog Pack Leader"; having 20-30 dogs under my care (many times just me solo). I've seen what these daycares do right, and what they could improve upon. I charge a high price, but this is your furbaby, and so you know they deserve the best quality care. Dogs Rule!
Reviews
This was our second time using John. He was able to jump in last minute and take care of our dogs after our first sitter cancelled 4 days before we left for our wedding!. He was fantastic both times. Our dogs loved him almost as much as they loved lounging in his house, and sunning in his yard, and we had the peace of mind to know that they were being well taken care of. Thanks, John!
John was awesome - he was so communicative and did a great job with our dog. Definitely hope he can watch Heath again soon!
John is great with my dogs! He was super helpful navigating a lock out situation and left the house in great condition. Highly recommend
John was super communicative and took great care of our dog. We can't recommend him enough, and will certainly be reaching out to him again!

Unlike a doggydaycare, your pet will NOT be crated at night with no supervision. I've grown up with dogs, and so if you're cool with them being on the couch/bed then I'm cool with it as well. I've been on ABC news; a segment regarding the best places to have your dogs watched (I can send you a link to the segment upon request). Book today - your dog will thank you!
Home
Information John P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs your dog may require. How many times a day they need to be let out/walked. Feeding schedule? How much food and water per day? Do they require Meds? How are they with other dogs? Can we go to the dog park? Does your dog have separation anxiety? i.e. I cannot take on dogs that bark 24/7 at my place. If a Philly Sports Team wins, or it's the 4th of July, or there is heavy lightning due to the weather, does your dog need any calming treats or a thunder shirt? Go Phils! Go Birds! Go Dogs!
A typical day
I average roughly 8 miles a day walking (I'm a type 1 diabetic, so I have to remain active). You dog is going to get waaaay more exercise then if they were at a doggy daycare.

Availability
I have a weekly Dungeons and Dragons campaign that meets on Wednesday Nights. As long as your dog can be by themselves from roughly 6pm to 10pm we should be good to go for all other times during the week. (I play as a Rouge, and Crit often - Aye!)
