Pet care experience
Work-From-Home Dog Care
I grew up with dogs, and so did my wife, so caring for them has always been a part of our lives. We recently said goodbye to our own dog after 16 wonderful years together, and we know how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. We provide a safe, comfortable, dog-friendly home where every pup is treated with patience and care. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing, playing, or going for walks, we’ll do our best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel right at home.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I've had the privilege of watching John care for our dog for nearly 15 years, and I can honestly say there isn't anyone I'd trust more with a pet. He has always been incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive, making sure our dog felt safe, loved, and happy every day. But one of my favorite things about him is how naturally playful he is with dogs—they're drawn to him, and every dog that's been part of our lives has absolutely adored him. Whether it's playing fetch, going for long walks, giving medications, or simply sitting together for extra comfort and affection, John always makes pets feel like they're part of the family. Losing our dog recently has only reinforced how deeply he loves animals. I know he'll treat every pet he cares for as if they were his own, and any pet owner can feel completely confident knowing their furry family member is in compassionate, responsible, and loving hands.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and no other pets in the home, allowing us to focus on your dog’s individual needs. Our 10-year-old daughter has grown up around dogs and is gentle and respectful with them. Because I work from home, your dog will receive close supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’ll follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
A typical day
I work from home full time, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. A typical day includes walks, playtime, and lots of affection, while also giving them plenty of opportunities to relax and nap when they need some downtime. I enjoy keeping dogs active and happy, but I also let them settle into their own routine and make themselves comfortable. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, cared for, and right at home while they’re with me.

- I’m happy to care for most dogs, and I’d appreciate knowing a little about your dog ahead of time so I can make sure they’re comfortable and have a great stay. Please let me know about their personality, energy level, daily routine, feeding schedule, and anything they especially like or dislike. It’s also helpful to know about any behaviors, sensitivities, or special needs I should be aware of. I’m comfortable giving oral medications when needed. Please provide clear instructions and let me know about any medications, allergies, or other important care details before your dog’s stay.
