Energetic and reliable!

Pet care experience

As a child and into adulthood I have had a love for animals. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to provide loving companionship for their pets. I am energetic and enjoy keeping pets active and engaged. I have experience with numerous walks and house- sitting with rover. I give my full attention to your pet and safety is a priority of mine. I am retired and house sitting and dog walking is a full time job for me. If I am pet house-sitting I am engaged with your dog, cat and don’t leave the house for more than 4 hours at a time. My past interest in distance running and bicycling has help build my endurance for the long walks I do regularly. I am unable to have a pet of my own as I live in a small studio apartment and busy caring for other people’s pets. I enjoy the connections I get in treating all the pets as if they were my own.

John provides daily updates with beautiful pictures, he shows care for our home, and clearly loves our pups. We’re so grateful to have found him to be our Rover.

John takes such good care of our dogs, especially our elderly beagle. We hate leaving them with anyone else!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to meet the owners and pets before booking a service. I like to know about your pet and how they react to different situations. Are they reactive to other dogs or people. Any food allergies or problems with separation anxiety? Any likes or dislikes, what do they like to do most of the time?

Information John W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs , likes and how you care for them. I am always happy to perform your requests. Every dog has different needs that make them special. I enjoy the connection I get from every dog I care for.

A typical day

I love to play games and stimulate your pets emotional and physical needs. I enjoy exploring the neighborhoods and parks near we’re my furry friend lives. I live near several parks and enjoy 3 to 5 mile walks as a companion for your pet if they are able to do these . My favorite places to walk your dog are Greenlake and Golden Gardens and I enjoy taking photos of the fun we had. .
