Safety, trust & environment
My spacious, secure two-bedroom apartment is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. One bedroom is dedicated solely to pets, ensuring a calm, separate space where they can relax and be quiet, or to separate pets if needed. While I don’t have a yard, I’m perfectly located just a 2-minute walk from Riverview Playfield—a vast park and trail system ideal for outdoor adventures—and a 10-minute walk from Westcrest Park, which features both a large fenced-in dog park and a smaller, secure area for shy or small dogs. Set in a quiet residential neighborhood with a clean, hardwood-floored interior, my home offers a trustworthy, stress-free environment for boarding, and I’m also happy to provide baths for an extra fee to keep your pet fresh and happy throughout their stay. I only accept one pet at a time (unless they already live together), so your furry family member will get all my attention and no possible pet drama.

Information John T. would like to know about your pet
I care deeply about providing the best care for every pet, and I know that each one is unique. Please feel free to share any special needs, requests, or specific instructions you have for your pet—whether it's dietary restrictions, medication schedules, extra cuddles, or any quirky habits they might have. I’m more than happy to accommodate and tailor my care to ensure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved while staying with me.
A typical day
When your dog stays with me, every day is a new adventure filled with fun and exercise. We’ll start by playing fetch or tossing a ball at the park to keep those tails wagging, and then head out for long, leisurely walks around the neighborhood and along scenic trails in the nearby woods. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of snuggles and delicious treats to keep them happy and refreshed. And if your dog is dog-friendly, we’ll visit the nearby dog park to meet new friends and enjoy a social, playful atmosphere. If your dog is a snuggler, then they can be my "paralegal pup" for the day and cuddle up on the couch with me to supervise my work!

Pet care experience
Growing up in a home filled with cats and dogs, my love for animals began early. For 15 wonderful adult years, I proudly cared for Emma, a loving cat whose gentle companionship shaped my compassionate approach to pet care. More recently, I cared for Meathead, a senior Olde English Bulldogge with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Whether it's mastering the art of leash-walking, handling large dogs that tend to pull, or playing fetch like a pro, I adapt my skills to suit every pet's unique needs. I'm just as comfortable taking active dogs on energetic adventures as I am snuggling with senior or small dogs during quiet work-from-home days. Because I work from home as an Estate Planning attorney (www. terpinlaw .com), doing more than just Wills and Trusts, but creating estate plans that keep your family out of court and conflict, I have all the time to give your pet all the attention they deserve 💜🐾
Reviews

John is a saint and Remy loves him so much. This was Remy’s first stay at John’s new location and it went extremely well. John kept him safe on all drives and walks. He even gave him a bath. We are truly lucky to have John in our lives and plan to keep working with him (Remy can’t wait to go back).

Well, John is amazing. Remy has had multiple sitters, and after this recent stay, we are adding John to our top 3 for sure. He is attentive and really made sure Remy got tons of attention and exercise. We could really Remy was able to warm up to a John and felt safe the whole time. Thank you!

John opened his calendar last minute to accommodate another booking with us for Ube. He was so awesome again, and sent us lost of updates and photos. Ube is already looking forward to next time!

John kept us updated all day and Remy got a lot of walks and attention during his daycare. Thank you, John. Looking forward to having Remy board with you next month.
