I currently work full time but on a flexible work schedule. I make my own hours most of the time and can choose where I want to work from each day. I grew up with pets and I miss the day to day of walking, feeding, and loving. I started sitting to fulfill that side of my life and to help those out who need pet care, as I have been on that side as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I live in a home where I cannot have pets. This is sad as I can’t to boarding. But I am more than happy to house sit. I value your belongings as my own when I am employed with you. I will always respect not your your space but your privacy and follow all guidelines and restrictions to keep you at ease while you are gone.

Information John T. would like to know about your pet

I like to know their general behavior with full honesty. If your pet likes to nip, or jump on you. That is alright with me but having the fair warning keeps me safe. This includes temperament issues such as “scared of men” or “don’t look directly in the eyes”. I am happy to work with all pets, as I do believe every animal deserves love, and some may just be misunderstood or confused.

A typical day

I love how the dog mind works and I love stimulating every aspect. My favorite game is sniff the treat. We hide a treat somewhere, but we mark different spots in the house with the scent of treat. (To our noses, you can’t even smell it) but the dogs love to search and get confused and have to figure out the puzzle. Cats, it really depends on what their temperament is, but I always find a way to entertain when they are open to it. Overall, I listen to the pet. I want to do what they are in the mood for, and if they have a favorite, that’s what we will do!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. Dealt with difficult pets as well. Very good at puppy training. I love long walks that have lots of sights. I love all pets, and will give fair and just treatment with no exceptions of temperament. I am not afraid to clean up after pets as well as clean and brush them as needed. I have no issues dealing with sick pets. I am comfortable with giving needed medications and maintaining strict consistency for your pet. I can deal with exotic pets with the proper instructions. I love to play with pets as much as they want and happy to visit as much as is needed! I’m excited to hear from you! Promo site: https://www.rover.com/sit/johnt58142

John looked after our girls again for us for a few days at short notice. We came home to a clean tidy house and 2 happy dogs. Thanks John
