Availability
I teach and work administration at a local music school, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. I come home frequently throughout the day and can stop by regularly as needed. Just let me know when you need a hand with your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Aside from being able to stop by when you need, I can also board one dog at a time in my west end apartment. I know the city and neighborhood well and am happy to walk pets together or separately if needed.
Home
Information John R. would like to know about your pet
I have experience with dogs from puppy to senior and am good with oral medications. I do not have experience giving injections, but am willing to learn. Let me know what other special needs your dog has and I'll see what I can do.
A typical day
I teach classes and lessons throughout each weekday, with plenty of time for walks and visits in between. I'm also an active runner and love running with dogs who need the exercise.

Former dog dad at your service!
Pet care experience
Former dog dad to my late little guy called Charlie, looking to help out when you need a sitter. My family has had pets my whole life. I've lived and worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Charlie and I were together since he was a puppy rescue, and he had many siblings of roommates and foster programs over the years. I love meeting other doggos and would love to meet yours!
Reviews
John is amazing. Our little Arlo is afraid of everyone (except John) He almost didn’t want to come home with us. He took such good care of him. He will always be my go-to. One thing, your pup may be lackluster the next day from the exercise he got and missing John.
John is so communicative, we work together to be flexible on what works for everyone. He’s really reliable— and our super energetic pup just loves him!
John is a wonderful dog and house sitter! Feel very lucky to have met him—as do my two pups!
John is awesome— he’s so sweet with our young (sometimes rambunctious) dog, and he knows when she needs rest/water on the extra hot walking days. My dog loves running into him in town, she gives him a big greeting— he’s so good with her! He is also very reliable and very communicative. Great all around!
