Pet care experience

Experienced with all breeds & size

~ Volunteered at Boca’s Tri County Dog Rescue ~ Have a 3 fur babies of my own named Hudson ~ Available at all hours ~ Will send follow up messages to owner of requested I’ve dealt with dogs all my life, experienced with all breeds. I strive to make sure that whenever you leave your pets with me, they are happy and taken care of. Having pets myself, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your 4 legged children at someone’s else’s home. I have a strong background in both puppy training and senior pet care, ensuring that I can cater to the unique needs of pets at different life stages. My approach combines patience, empathy, and effective communication, allowing me to build trust and create a safe, nurturing environment for your pets. I am available at all hours, any day. I work from home, therefore, I have plenty of time to spend time with your pets. I can walk them frequently & give medicine if/whenever needed. I am flexible and understand things happen, so you don’t have to worry if your pet(s) need to stay an extra day or hour with me. As always, it will be my pleasure. I live in a town home with my dogs Hudson, Bella, & Grayson. Hudson is a Beabull, weighs 40lbs and is 6 years old. Bella is also a Beabull, weighs 35lbs/3 years old. Gray is a French Bulldog, weighs 25 lbs /2 years old. I take them everyday to our dog park located in our community, since they have to remain active to burn energy. It’s a big park where they can run and play. I also use my backyard.

John took care of our XXL sized Mastiffs and handled them like a pro. Not all walkers are able to manage dogs this size and he had no issues. He also worked with their unique dietary constraints. Definitely went above and beyond and treated them like his own. Couldn't be happier.

Both King and Royal enjoyed their day with John. John kept us updated on the day with pictures. John clearly cares about dogs.. would be setting up another day for John to watch the boys.

John Paul was great with my dog! I highly recommend booking with him, kept me updated the whole time I was away and I’m not even sure my dog wanted to come back to me!!! 10/10

We had a wonderful experience with John Paul! He sent pictures, videos and updates regularly and he clearly cares about all the dogs he’s watching. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with him and we would absolutely recommend him to anyone and will use him again if we need to board our pup in the future!

John took great care of our puppy while we were gone for 5 days. We were nervous to leave him because he has not been around other dogs and is only 3 1/2 months old. He loved John! He treated our puppy like he was his own. We got frequent updates and videos and we fully trusted and appreciated leaving our puppy with him 1000% recommend John to anyone. We will definitely book with him again.

It was such a pleasure to leave my baby Max with John today. It was a last minute booking and definitely worth it. Thank so you much John, I’ll see you again in two weeks.

Schedule

Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. Each morning, I start by feeding my pet and taking them for a walk, which helps both of us wake up and sets a positive tone for the day. Throughout the week, I schedule playtime and training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. I also make time for regular grooming and vet check-ups to ensure their health. Overall, integrating pet care into my routine keeps both my pet and me happy and fulfilled.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, I ensure a safe environment with plenty of stimulation, including playtime and exercise. I follow a consistent feeding schedule and monitor their health closely. For clients' homes, I maintain their routines as closely as possible, ensuring pets are fed on time, exercised, and given plenty of attention. I also prioritize following any specific instructions from pet owners and keep a log of activities to share updates. This personalized approach helps pets feel secure and cared for, whether at home or away.

Pets

A typical day

I love incorporating a variety of fun activities to keep pets engaged! This includes interactive playtime with toys, going for walks in different parks, and setting up obstacle courses for some agility training. I also enjoy having cuddle sessions and exploring new environments to stimulate their senses. Additionally, I like to incorporate training games that challenge their minds while reinforcing positive behavior. Each activity is tailored to the pet’s personality and energy level to ensure they have a great time!

It's crucial to know several key details about a pet ahead of time. This includes their dietary preferences, any allergies or medical conditions, and their daily routine, such as feeding and exercise schedules. Understanding their behavior, temperament, and any triggers for anxiety or aggression is also important. Additionally, knowing their favorite activities and any special commands or training cues helps ensure a smooth transition and a positive experience for both the pet and caregiver. This information allows for tailored care that meets each pet's unique needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
