Loving and Reliable Pet Care

I’ve always enjoyed spending time with animals and caring for them with love and attention. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments. I understand the importance of routines, feeding schedules, walks, and giving pets the affection they need to feel safe and happy. What sets me apart from other sitters? I’m a calm, patient, and responsible person. I treat every pet as if it were my own, paying close attention to their specific needs. Whether it’s caring for a playful puppy or providing gentle care for a senior pet, I always make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I’m also very respectful of your home and your instructions. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are my priorities.

Safety, trust & environment

visiting a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and happy. I follow feeding and walking schedules, give them attention and affection, and keep their environment clean and calm. I also make sure to follow any specific instructions the owner provides and keep them updated with messages or photos for peace of mind.

John did such a wonderful job at our home watching our sweet cat Maxine! He stayed with her for two weeks while we were away. He took care of her every evening and watched over our home as well. He took great care with both. Thank you so much, John. We appreciate all you did and will use you every time. We travel from here on out!

I have worked with John for a couple of years. As the HR Manager, I've never had anyone say anything negative about him. He is a truly genuine person with an exceptional attitude. He is responsible and dedicated to whatever task he is assigned. John is a huge animal lover, like I am, and likes to share pictures of the pets he tends to. He takes care of them like they are his own. I'm positive that anybody who meets him and hires him to take care of their furbaby, or babies, can be assured that he will give them the utmost loving care and attention that all pets deserve.

We love John R in so many ways! He is a kind and considerate person with excitement about life and the pets he cares for. He has taken care of my sisters cats and we can see how they love and trust him. John will be pet sitting for us in September and look forward to putting our trust in him and our Fur baby. Pleasure to recommend John and his eagerness to be the best pet sitter! Kathy and Tom

We met John at church and became friends - when he was over he was so sweet with our cats Bootsie and Banjo- and they took to him as well. John's character and level of respect and gratitude for our home and our space and our family was delightful and a rare surprise. We then asked him to come house sit and pet sit and have been ever since . Our neighbor (who has a dog) and my sister have since done the same . John not only loves animals but is mature in his judgement and very observant , sends us adorable pics (he's artistic as well) and reaches out when appropriate. We have been away a lot this last year and have been able to fully enjoy it because of him. Our cats and home are just as we left them .. relaxed and comfortable. I have to add that John is refreshingly positive and always so grateful for the opportunity as though we are doing him a favor. He is the best , and my husband and I are what you might call PICKY !!

I’d love to know your pet’s routine, energy level, if they’re trained, and any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know how they react to new people, other pets, or being alone. The more I know, the better I can care for them!
