Pet care experience

Experienced Sitter and Foster Dad.

I’m 50 years old and retired Army and now educator. I’ve always loved dogs. I have years of experience in dog rescue. I’ve had more fosters and transported more rescues than I can even remember. You can trust me to take great care of your dog and I’ll make sure they get a great walk most days weather permitting. We also have a large fenced yard. My wife who is an Army veteran and works from home will be with your dog most of the day, if not all day, and will often assist with walking and feeding. I live in the Dalton area so any surrounding areas are ok. I understand your pet is family and I’ll treat them as such. Please keep me in mind for all your dog walking and pet sitting needs. I’m looking forward to helping take care of your furry family members.

John took care of our Lyla like she was his own! We loved getting daily feedback and pictures while we were away! We definitely plan to use John again in the future!

John did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Millie. He took her for daily walks, played her favorite game of tug of war with her stuffed animal, and sent us daily updates with pictures. We felt at peace the whole time we were gone because we knew Millie was in good hands with John. We would definitely recommend him if you’re looking for someone to take good care of your pet!

Our experience with John was awesome. He took great care of our dog during Thanksgiving. He even kept him an extra night so we had more time with out of town family! We will definitely be using him again!
