Caring, Experienced, & Dependable
Pet care experience
Hire me and your dog will be in the best and most qualified hands. Guaranteed. Along with being a lifetime owner of both large and toy dogs, I hold a doctorate in Neuroscience and Animal Behavior and am a student at The Academy for Dog Training, often referred to as "the Harvard of dog training." This is one of the few science-based training programs using 100% force-free methods. Likewise, I’ve been a regular volunteer at animal shelters here in Austin, as well as in Atlanta, for many years. I can promise you that my professionalism, love for dogs, and strong background in canine behavior make me the best candidate for your dog care needs. Whether your dog is a large and powerful or a cautious little pup, I have the skills, knowledge, and empathy necessary to make sure his/her needs are met and your expectations are surpassed. Shoot me a message now to talk about how I might be able to help you and your four legged friends live your best lives. [ On Instagram @johnwithdogs ]
Reviews
Always fantastic service and Luna loves to play with John! Thank you for caring for our fur baby while we are away for the day!
We loved how easy and convenient John made everything. Communication was outstanding! Luna loved his visits and play time. Will definitely be using his services again!
John did an excellent job visiting our two pups. He was professional and thorough when communicating with us. He completed everything we asked of him on the visit. The picture we received told me our pups were happy and in good hands. It was refreshing knowing they were in good hands while we couldn’t be there. We will definitely use him again!
John was an excellent and thoughtful caretaker of our pets - I highly recommend him as your pets will be in the perfect hands, and I do not mean these words lightly. He really looked out for us as he would a close friend. We asked him to drop-in 2x/day for a few days on our senior dog and cat (despite him being allergic to cats). Our senior dog requires a lot of care due to the topical medicines she needs for her eyes and ears. John made sure to work with us if anything came up and was a fantasic communicator. Additionally, we really enjoyed the rover cards he provided about our babies - he noted observations about their behavior/mood and also took great photos of our pets! I really can't thank John enough for doing such a phenomenal job.

Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood or flinging the ball around your yard for my entire visit, I'll happily help your pup wear off that excess energy in a healthy way. I live an active life, and would love the opportunity to bring your pup along to enjoy hiking and/or swimming with me in Austin's beautiful parks. *NOTE: My car is equipped with a ramp to help senior dogs enter and exit without injury.
