Pet care experience

Dogs are awesome...period.

Hi, I'm John! I grew up in Pennsylvania with a Siberian Husky names Neo. I started working with dogs and animal shelters when I was around 10 years old and I've been in love with it ever since! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, from a 2 week old Rottweiler puppy to a full grown Great Dane! I love meeting new dogs and catering to each one's needs, as I know that every dog is unique. I am a recent graduate from Berklee College of Music and graduated with my Masters in Fine Arts at Boston University last May. I would love to keep your dog healthy, fit, and above all, happy! I will treat your dog with love and care and I will make sure your Wag! experience is as positive as possible!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my home are supervised 24/7. I usually gate the upstairs and keep your pup in the common spaces of my home. If they are super friendly I usually have them sleep in a nearby room so they know they aren’t alone.

John was communicative and left everything in order and clean. We received pictures and he promptly answered questions. He also made sure to come by earlier to know the instructions and meet my dog. Thank you!

John is very professional and patient. Our sensitive boy is challenging to handle and John adapted to our dog's preference and giving him enough time, also tried several ways to build trust. Although our boy didn't accept him right away I believe it is only a matter of time our boy will open his mind. The time spent and the understanding shared towards our special boy are much appreciated.

John has been great with our reactive dog. He was willing to come over ahead of time to do a pack walk to acclimate our dog to him. His communication is wonderful as well. Highly recommend John!

John is kind and caring! Great with my two big dogs and respectful when house sitting. I’ve used John a few times to care for my dogs.

Schedule

I’m currently working from home so TONS of flexibility. I’m really easy to get a hold of and I understand every pup has different accommodations.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
John can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know ahead of time if there are any prescribed medications or food regimens I need to know prior. I usually set a day prior to when the pup is needing care to get acquainted with their schedule.
