I am very active, flexible schedule

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is John. I am 34 years old. I moved to New York about a year ago from the Philadelphia area to pursue stand-up comedy. I am a full time bartender currently working in Brooklyn. I do not currently own any pets. From the time I was 6 my family always had at least one dog. Typically Schnauzers as that was what my mom grew up with in her family. My aunt used to take care of my brother and I as young kids while my parents were at work and she always had one or two German Shepherds in her home throughout most of my life as well so all of my life there have been dogs around. I have a pretty regular routine these days. Everyday, I wake up around 7-8 and I go to the park (typically Prospect Park) and run several miles and exercise on the “gym equipment“ in the park for a few hours. I typically work starting @ 3pm and finish around 11-midnight. Monday Tuesday and Friday I am free all day. In regards to the hours I am at work, I am typically on the bar with another bartender and can step out and take a break to give your pet the attention it needs as I do not live far from where I work. I am very hard working and responsible and flexible and will always keep an open line of communication with you. Looking for to meeting you and you doggo!

John and Lorena took wonderful care of our dog, Zuli! We got pictures of our pup having a great time with both of them and regular updates during her stay. John and Lorena are lovely and were very caring, flexible and communicative for Zuli’s time with them. Zuli came back to us very happy and we could tell that she didn’t miss out on any attention, affection and all around fun. Thank you!

John is absolutely wonderful! Shiva loved every moment of being taken care of and spoiled by John and his girlfriend, Lorena. I truly believe he is the dog whisperer when it comes to my Shiva. I gave him this whole spiel about how Shiva has separation anxiety and that she'll probably cry once I leave. Not even...about 30 minutes after I dropped her off, John sent me pics of Shiva with the biggest grin having the time of her life! He sent lots of pics and updates throughout her stay. They took great care of Shiva and gave her lots of love. John is definitely my go-to sitter from now on. After they dropped her off and gave their good-bye hugs and kisses, Shiva tried to followed them on the elevator twice! Needless to say, Shiva is definitely his number one fan. I highly recommend his services. Your pet will not want to leave.

My dog, Bonnie, absolutely loves John! John is reliable and is a tremendous help with Bonnie. John cares for her and follows all special requests needed for meds, etc. Most importantly, John spends time with Bonnie and plays with her. They've bonded.

A typical day

I love to go to the park, I spend a couple hours there a day typically. I played sports my whole life so I’m always willing to throw a ball around and get them all the exercise they need. I’m pretty solid with a frisbee too.
