Experienced, loving, pet sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm in Lowell. We always had plenty of cats and dogs to play with. And I have always loved animals. I have experience with watching dogs regularly for a home with 13 dogs so that has been quite the adventure but I love it. I love to give them treats and play with them and just plain spoil them with attention. The owner was concerned about them taking to a new person but they took right to me. Pets do seem to take to me well. And now I am looking for more furry friends so I hope you will contact me!

I recommend John Raboin for pet caregiver. I have watched John work with the pets and he really does love animals. He is always patient with them and attentive to their needs. He enjoys feeding them and playing with them. If you want someone dependable who will show up and give your pets the care they need, then I highly recommend John.

Safety, trust & environment

As far as safety, and trust, I mostly do sitting in the client's home so I will do whatever the client wishes, and make sure the pets are safe.

Information John R. would like to know about your pet

I get along with all pets. There should be no issues there. Even ones that can be hard to break the ice with, I seem to do well with.

A typical day

I can do whatever fun activities the pets are used to. I can take them for walks, throw the ball to them, or even go on 4 wheeler rides if you have one.

I work from home and I make my own hours. So I am quite flexible. I can do overnights or day visits or walks. I am in Newport Center village but am willing to go within 20 minutes depending on the job. For overnights on a regular basis I may do about 25 minutes away. If you are in Newport Town, Newport City, North Troy, Troy, Jay, Coventry, Irasburg, and Derby these are all well within my area. Others like Brownington, and Barton and Albany and Derby Line and maybe Craftsbury are possible depending on situation.
