Safety, trust & environment

I live in a co-op apt in Great Neck that is a dog friendly community. Plenty of awesome spots to walk in neighborhood as well as local parks.

Information John W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special treatment your dog or cat may need or what they like and don’t like. My own dog needs 2 insulin shots everyday due to her diabetic condition. I have given her and many clients medicine orally before so I am certainly experienced in that regard as well.

A typical day

Play fetch or tug of war with stuffed animals or balls, whichever your dog prefers. Belly rubs, brushing, feeding, giving treats, providing plenty of water. Take the dog for a nice long walk and let them choose our route if they want to =]. Avoid letting dog go into plants, eat / drink anything bad or interact with other dogs or animals that could be of harm. I like to bring dogs to nice scenic places, parks, typically quiet safe neighborhoods. For cats: play with them usually with crumpled paper, mouse toys, laser pointer, whatever they like. Feed them wet food, dry food, clean their litter, always make sure water is readily available.

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 7 years old. Experienced with basic training, protection from injury / harms way, walking, playing. Me and dogs have a fun bonding mutual connection. I care for any dog or cat as if they were my own. As soon as I meet the dog(s) or cat(s) they can sense my good vibes and aura.

John watched our 2 senior dogs, one of which needs alot of assistance some days. John kept us updated by sending pictures and we knew they were doing ok. It was such a relief to be able to go somewhere and know everyone was going to be fine when we returned. We definitely will be using him again when we have functions to attend. We highly recommend John!

John was great with my two pups! He took great care of them for 4 days and provided regular updates with pics and videos to keep me informed and comfortable while I was away. I would definitely recommend him!
