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. .

Energetic and reliable!

Pet care experience

As a child and into adulthood I have had several dogs and cats. Neighbors friends and family have also 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 don’t smoke and don’t allow anyone else in your home. I don’t leave your pets alone for more than four hours when leaving the house. 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 has been our dog walker for several years now. He is absolutely wonderful! Our dog loves him and she always comes home very tired. We have excellent communication with John and he is very flexible with us.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
