John can care for
Availability
Pet care will fit easily into my routine because I’ll have a very open and flexible schedule. I’ll have plenty of time to focus on each pet, provide consistent attention, and accommodate visits throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and weekends.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, safe, and loving care whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine for feeding, playtime, and rest, give plenty of attention and affection, and maintain a clean, comfortable environment. I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special needs, and ensuring pets feel calm and happy in familiar or new surroundings.

A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy while their owners are away! Depending on the pet’s personality and needs, I’ll take dogs on walks, play fetch, practice basic training commands, or enjoy some quality cuddle time. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, as well as giving them cozy spots to relax and feel safe. I tailor activities to each pet so they’re both entertained and comfortable.

Reviews
John was great, very easygoing guy and took great care of my cat. He also sent very cute update photos! He was very kind to pick up a package for me too when I was away.
Jack was great for my two cats, watched them over Christmas break with no issues at all - very responsible, courteous, and overall a great experience. Would recommend!
Thank you so much! :)
John (Jack) is a responsible young man who has helped with our many dogs over the years as we are neighbors. He is always on time and is reliable. He treats our dogs as his own, playing with them and giving them long walks. I highly recommend him to Rover! Jacqueline
