I Love Dogs and Dogs Love Me

Pet care experience

People ask me why I walk around with dog treats in my pocket. To me, that's a silly question--dogs love treats. I care for pets like they are my own children, and do all I can to keep them well and happy. When I'm your pet sitter, your dog is my number one priority. You and your dog will love how passionate I am about pet care. I've sacrificed my own needs when a pet has special needs. For example, waking up repeatedly to comfort an anxious dog on the first night away from family, or making sure multiple pets get exercised and fed before eating and relaxing myself. I'm active, and can walk 8-10 miles, so I can tire out your retriever/border collie/shepherd. A well-fed, well-exercised, loved and disciplined dog is a happy dog, and a tired dog is a well-behaved dog. I've cared for and loved dogs--and other pets--for over 30 years. I love dogs because they're always positive, they provide wonderful companionship and they love unconditionally. There's nothing like coming home to a happy face and wagging tail. I have experience caring for other animals as well. I've spent time with birds, and they never fail to amaze me with the variety of personalities they have. I also enjoy how interesting cats are. I love their independence! I am very excited to have fun with your dog and can't wait to meet you both! Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or if you'd like to set up a meet and greet!

John has been great with our dog. He's always on time, very patient, and takes her on great walks.

Very kind, patient, reliable, prompt, respectful, thoughtful and thorough. John has a lot of knowledge about how to take care of dogs. He skills have helped me to improve my interactions with our bully, Kayla, as well. She is so happy to see John each visit and it makes us happy and comfortable knowing she is well taken care of. I highly recommend John to take care of your pet.

This worked out well for us and for our dogs. The dogs got to stay at home instead of a kennel and got regular walks, plus more attention than they would get in a kennel. Thanks

A typical day

Parks, pedways, dog trails, exploring -- it depends on what the dog likes. The dog will also get loved, petted, and scratched a lot, and as many treats as appropriate. I'm happy to stick to their routine so they can be comfortable, or provide them with stimulating experiences to tire them out.
