Love..Love..LOVE Dogs!!

I have had dog companions, Cared for dogs, and Loved dogs since I was 8 yrs old. They make the world a better place. I will take wonderful care of your dog soulmate as if they were my own. I cared for my dog soulmate Augie through sugeries and life challenges and it was my privilege until he crossed the rainbow bridge at almost 17. Now it’s my little boy Stuey , an 8 year old 22 lb terrier mix and me. Your dog will be cared for and loved !

Doggy Day Care • Oct 04, 2026

This was my first time using Rover and I’m so happy to have found John!!! Everything worked out fantastically, I will definitely use his services again in the future. John is a great communicator, and easy going. Shelby is a puppy and I’ve been working on training, thankfully John was able to keep key training principles in mind while caring for her to ensure she doesn’t form new habits or we undo our training progress. He also took her to a park and supervised her play. He’s a great pet care taker!

John was so great. He rolled with my (large) Golden Retriever’s big energy and gave her a great walk. And took wonderful pictures. Would def hire John again!

I have known John for many years and can say, without a doubt, that he will care for your dog as if it was his own. I have a Great Dane who dislikes men, but totally read his hear and saw a friend. You will never be disappointed using Johh love your dog when you can't be there. Highly recommend!!

John has watched our dog on several occasions in the past and provided great care for him. He is an animal lover and it shows in how he talks and treats pets. He is patient and follows instructions carefully with pets that have special needs. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a pet sitter.

John came out to our home right on schedule and sat for our dog Khloe while we were out of town for the weekend. As soon as we met John, we immediately felt at ease. John is a truly nice person, easy to talk to and has an unconditional love for dogs. We look forward to John dog sitting for us next time.

John is amazing with pets… treats them as if they were one of his children. Dogs warm up to him so fast and I know he has helped many dogs in our neighborhood who are lost from their owners. He shelters and protects them until their owners are found. He will take good care of your loved ones.
