John Loves Dogs; Just ask around.

Pet care experience

Meeting Your Dog(s) will most likely make My day. I have an elderly 16 year old pup, Soto, who keeps me company while I work remotely, mostly from home. I am assertive , and understand the basics of dog behavior and temperaments; My "Pack Leader" style can be described as "chill". I have an enclosed and quiet back yard with ample space for zoomies and exploration in quiet and convenient Bankview .

John was so good with our puppy, made sure he got the feeding instructions right because he’s on a bottle. Puppy was so comfortable he slept most of his visit with John. The pictures showed us just how comfortable and at home he was. Would definitely recommend him to anyone for your puppy sitting needs

John is probably the most serious dog lover I've ever met. He stops on the street to play with any dog that approaches him. His favorite bar in Calgary is cold garden, because of all the dogs. He's also a wonderful caretaker. He has looked after my dogs, my friend's dogs, and they all love him. He also has a senior dog that he's had since the dog's infancy, and he is a great doggy daddy. Long story short, let John take care of your dogs, I promise you won't regret it, he's a sucker for doggies, he will spoil them, and you won't regret leaving your pets with him.

Safety, trust & environment

If I am in your home, Your dog(s) will need attention and love; your cat(s) will want space and nourishment, and possibly a little meow meow back and forth. When pets visit my home they of course get individual love and attention, backyard time and or a walk, agreed upon food and treats, and a freshly washed bed and blanket. As always , unless its a behavioral issue, I will let your baby set the tone

Information John S. would like to know about your pet

I always appreciate an old fashioned phone call to discuss your baby's specific requirements, and also to consider that I have an old dog too.

A typical day

Dogs generally just love being around, and most often , match my energy . Likely, your Best Friend just needs a little acknowledgment and attention. I need time away from my computer and my favorite distraction is a dog. Car rides, meeting friends, walks can be expected.

I keep a simple life that involves downtown, fitness and friends. I work remotely and am either at home or in my surrounding neighborhoods, and when I am away, its never for very long. I have a soft spot for people and places that allow for well behaved animals - it always restores my faith in people a little more.
