Loving and Active Home!

Pet care experience

My father is a veterinarian so my love for pets (specifically dogs) began at an early age. Some of my first memories are playing with our dogs. We typically would adopt dogs that came through my father's clinic that could not find a home. It was a wonderful upbringing to always have the opportunity and responsibility to help care for our pets. Since college and living with my own dog, my father has always been a phone call or text message away from a dog-care related question. It has always provided me with a great piece of mind that I and my best friend have such quick access to reliable pet-care advice. I have a very flexible work schedule. Typically come home each day during lunch to walk my dog, Frank. Dog parents will love my years of experience of caring for dogs, quick and easy access to veterinary advice and my flexible work schedule. - John

From the very first email message, John demonstrated utmost professionalism and promptness in all communication. During the week we were away, he sent photos and daily updates. I would highly recommend John and would love to use him again for dog/house sitting on our next trip. thanks!

John was wonderful with Chloe! He was very accommodating and took adorable snapshots of her for me to awe over during her weekend stay :) I'd definitely use him again for dog boarding!

John stayed with Winky with very last-minute notice for a long holiday weekend. John was very responsive with communicating about the stay and meeting up before the stay to become acquainted with my house and with Winky. John was very professional. Winky takes a while to warm up to strangers, but with John, he was very comfortable. Upon meeting John for our pre-stay visit, you could instantly tell he was very comfortable around animals, including those with anxiety, like Winky. John communicated with us during his stay, sent pictures, and I felt extremely relieved knowing Winky was in good hands. Winky seemed to have a great time and the house was well-cared for. I would definitely use John again in the future and would recommend him to others needing a petsitter. Overall, a great experience.

I am the owner of a 14 month old Australian Shepherd. John did a great job getting him out to the dog park and burning energy while watching him. He's knowledgeable and has a great background with pets, having had several throughout his life. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your pet.
