I talk to dogs calmly and with care

Pet care experience

I love caring for dogs, playing with them, and taking them for long walks. I speak to them by name gently and calmly and usually we become friends. I like large dogs as well as little ones, and I'm not afraid of difficult dogs. I am good at remaining calm and impassive when faced with bad behavior and rewarding and praising good behavior. I truly care about making dogs happy, giving them the exercise, play, and necessities they need. I will run with dogs who want to run. I am patient with dogs who move slowly. I have experience owning and living with dogs, I have worked in a humane society, and I currently walk dogs on a daily basis. I also care for a cat who lives with me now, and I also love to care for and play with cats.

John was really terrific walking Lucy this week. He met us in advance to meet and talk expectations. He was super communicative. He gave great notes and photos for each walk. He had good flexibility in his schedule as he does dog walking as his primary work. I would hire him again!

John was great! We were stressed out when an issue arose with our pup Ollie so we needed coverage right away. Adding to this, Ollie does not get along with anyone and requires a warm introduction first which makes things a little tough. This was our first time using a sitter service so we're not sure of what to expect. Although it took a moment, Ollie eventually warmed up to John and they later got along well. During his visits and communication, John went above expectations to make sure Ollie was well cared for. He was a great communicator throughout the process and very easy to work with. He made us feel good about using rover.com. Will definitely be asking for his help in the future. Thanks John!!

Always takes good care of my pup and is able to individualize the walk for what my dog needs.

John is a reliable dog walker, who seemed comfortable with my dog, who can be a handful (herding breed, wants to chase stuff). Would definitely recommend.
