Pet care experience

I stink therefore I am

Do you have a very high energy and strong dog that needs a lot of exercise to behave properly and sleep well? You should hire me. I grew up with a terrier, and later was close with a Belgian Malinois, who was always eager for walks and exercise. As an adult I have lived alone with my little tabby cat, and she is very animal friendly. I am here because I love dogs and love to exercise with them. I know that I can provide the best walking experience for your furry friend. I am full time employed with days free for walking. I can also care for pets during the daytime for visits from early morning to early evening. I have a two bedroom apartment and live alone so I have ample space to accommodate all your pets needs, with no dog breed restrictions here.

John is just the best. He’s always very communicative, friendly, and goes out of his way to make sure our animals are taken care of. Very thankful to have him as our go to person.

John had been an awesome friend for our pup Archer! He’s very attentive on their walks and is awesome at communicating and giving helpful feedback. We’re very grateful for him and will book with him again and again!

This was such a late notice booking, but John had no issues making it work. To quote John from when I reached out unexpectedly, “that’s why I’m here”. Those words are music to any pet owners ears. Always sends great updates about their walks and I feel all the better knowing John has it under control.

John is fantastic! We’ve used him numerous times and my dog is always nice and tired after their walks

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. If the dog is aggressive around other dogs or people so I know to be mindful and take proper precautions.
