Your dog won't want to leave

Pet care experience

I am responsible and loving, first and foremost. I am becoming a dog-walker because I'd like to spend my time on weekends doing something rewarding and enjoyable instead of just going to bars and being lazy around the house. I've volunteered for about 200 hours at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton where I was formally trained to put on harnesses and walk/play with dogs at different sizes and temperaments, while also helping our customers decide if a dog was right for them as a forever friend. I have experience cleaning up after dogs, feeding them, and obviously walking them. I am active and can run with your dog, have 3 very dog-friendly roommates, and a spacious apartment for the pup(s) to hang out. I have been bit by dogs a couple times and I understand how to handle situations like that as well when they unfortunately happen. If anything concerns you or you have additional questions before asking me to care for your dog, do not hesitate to ask. I intend to treat him/her as my own pet and love them as you would. Thanks!

I have used John three times now to pet sit my two beloved pugs. My pugs are now attached to John and go “crazy” when they see him come. John is very responsible and great with the dogs. I even trust him to get the dogs in the house when I’m no home. Again I highly recommend John and so do the Pugs!!! Debbie

My husband and I have known John for almost 18 years, from the time was a really little neighborhood kid! From when we first met John, his parents and his brothers, we knew right away that John loved our old dog Marley! As he got older, John would visit old Marley and all of our other Goldens throughout the years. Even when he was old enough to drive, to graduate high school and then college, John would always stop by and spend time with our dog(s)! I can’t think of a kinder or more responsible person to be in charge of walking and caring for someone’s pet. John will care for that dog like it’s his own. I don’t think there could be a dog out there that he wouldn’t love!

John is reliable and honest. He adores dogs but has not been able to own one of his own due to allergies within his family. You won’t find a kinder person or a more sincere gentleman to care for your dog.
