Dogs give me unspeakable joy!!

Pet care experience

Ever since I can remember, I've been a huge dog-lover. Growing up in my family, we always had dogs in our home and they were treated as part of the family. Nowadays, my love for dogs has actually sort of transformed into a huge necessity for my emotional and mental well being. They've become somewhat therapeutic for me. Because of this, I've always offered my time to friends and family to take care of their dogs while they were at work or out of town. Before apps like Rover existed, I would often do this for free just because I enjoyed it so much. Now that I've found this opportunity, I'm excited to help owners take care of their pets as a career path.

John Smith is an amazing dog sitter. We trust him with our animals and our children. He is kind and honest, and his love for animals shows. If you want your sweet fur babies in good hands, i highly recommend giving him a try!!

John was an amazing dog sitter for my 8 week old puppy. He kept her entertained and taken care of the whole day with no issues. He was easy to work with and great with dogs.

I have two dogs that are my four legged babies. John on a number of occasions watched my babies for me. He has watched them for short periods of time, as well as weeklong occasions. We have known John S. for many, many years as well as his family they are honorable, good, and faith driven people. He is a great young man. Thank you, Kathy L. H.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I have a fenced in yard, I typically allow my own dog to run free or relax in the sun. From time to time, I take them on little adventures out in nature or just for a good walk for exercise. Depending on the dog/owner, I adjust the activities to meet their needs the best that I can.

Information John S. would like to know about your pet

The more that I know about your dog, the better. For example: Eating and bathroom schedules, potential allergies, social behaviors, favorite activities, preferences, likes/dislikes, etc..

A typical day

I like to take dogs a little further out in nature, like trails and by waterfalls! If bigger adventures aren't possible, I like to play fetch with their favorite toys.

Since I work for myself as an entrepreneur, I'm very flexible with my schedule. If I'm not already tied up with other projects, I fit in pet care to my schedule whenever I possibly can.
