Pet care experience
Animal lover, horse expert, trained zoologist
~~ First time Rover users can use this booking link to get £15 off your first booking with me: https://www.rover.com/sit/johnrp27681 ~~ I'm an all-round animal lover, with a particular tact for dogs. I have years of varied experience looking after, interacting with and training different dogs from all walks of life. I've worked at a dog groomer in Botswana, I've taught horse riding in South Africa and England, I've volunteered at a wildlife rehabilitation center in Botswana, and kept different species of birds (chickens, geese, peacocks, turkeys, guinea fowls, quails, pigeons, cockatiels and finches) and fish as a young adult on our small holding in Botswana. I'm an animal lover all round and my friends call me the dog whisperer, which speaks to my natural feel and tact with animals. I've looked after people's dogs, cats, horses, parrots, rabbits, chickens and fish for years.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Could not have had a better dog sitter for chokko. I would reccommend John to anyone.
Maisie had such a great time with John-Rob, she was looked after so well. Would highly recommend.
Have just had my two cavapoochons for day care with John-Rob and they came away very happy and contented after a day of long walks and ball-chasing! They are always so well cared for and loved with John-Rob, he is highly recommended and our go-to when the pups need day care or boarding. Thank you again for giving them such a lovely day!
Missy had such a great time, long walks, lots of ball throwing and much needed rest! She's come home a very happy girl. The communication was great, and we enjoyed seeing the pics and videos. Would highly recommend John-Rob, and would be very happy to use him again to sit Missy in the future.
Such an incredible experience! Hugo just spent a week with John-Rob and his lovely family, and he truly had the best time. Despite his separation anxiety, he felt right at home thanks to all the love, playdates, and hikes they provided. It was like a 5-star holiday for him! Thank you for looking after our boy so well—we’ll definitely be back!
John-Rob provided another brilliant boarding experience for Poppy. Reliable and very easy to communicate with. Looks after Poppy so well and she seems to enjoy her time very much - walks, taken along to things and generally well cared for. Thank you also for tweaking the arrangements to let me pick her up early!

Schedule
I work full time, but from home, so I'll have plenty of time to look after and walk your pets. I'm lucky to live in a leafy neighbourhood in Beckenham, where there are ample short and long walks to be had.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious, double-storey, link-detached house, with a large and enclosed garden at the back. I have space to crate your dog, if that works for their needs. I'm responsible and accountable and I know that your dogs will have a great time with me.
A typical day
I'm an active person so on a typical day I go out for at least one walk or run, which I'd happily take your dogs with me for, depending on their preference. I'm lucky to live in a spacious, leafy neighbourhood in Beckenham with easy access to multiple parks and green spaces where I can take your dogs for a good time and to burn off some energy. Cator Park, Churchfields and Croydon Recreation Ground are all within 10 minutes walk of my home. Beckenham Place Park, which is much bigger and allows for long off leash walks, is only 20 minutes walk away from me! I often take my Rover dogs on weekend hikes and excursions with me, which they always relish!
