I am semi-retired with a very flexible schedule so I can typically work in pet care during weekdays. I do substitute teacher at the elementary level on occasion but as long as you’re flexible on timing, it can work.

Safety, trust & environment
We have three beagle mix adult dogs ranging in age from approximately 8 to 13 years old. We live in a SFH and our yard is fully fenced and includes a deck with 3-4 stairs to the yard. Our eldest dog needs to be carried up and down the stairs so we are fully familiar with the special needs of seniors. We welcome small - medium sized dogs to stay at our home following a meet-up to ensure your pet(s) get along with ours. We have cared for a neighbor's dog overnight in our home without any issues.

Information John Y. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any behaviors I should expect when interacting with your pets - particularly as they get to know me. For dogs, I need to know how they react to other dogs and if they have any aggressive tendencies. If so, what specifically are their triggers?
A typical day
I look forward to engaging with your pets both indoors and outdoors as appropriate e.g. walking, playing with toys... Please let me know what activities your pets most enjoy and I'll be sure to spend our time together in that way.

Pet care experience
I am semi-retired and have owned and cared for dogs and cats since I was young. My wife and I have rescued five beagle mixes - three of which we are still blessed to have in our lives. She will assist with pet care particularly if you have multiple dogs that require walking. We know how hard it is to leave your pets and we will ensure you have peace of mind with photos and detailed text updates. We will follow your pet's routine as requested and take all necessary steps to ensure your pet's comfort and happiness in your absence. I would like to know about: *aggressive behaviors and what are the triggers (large dogs, small dogs, people, etc...) *diet restrictions *special walking areas near your home
Reviews
John is a great sitter for our two elderly dogs. I know he is taking good care of them and is the first person I go to when I need a sitter.
John was great with Crosby! Crosby has a hard time with new people and John was patient with him and Crosby eventually warmed up to him. We are very grateful for his willingness and attention to Crosby and for the great care that he provided! Thank you. It made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing Crosby was well taken care of.
John and his wife were very accommodating and caring of our nervous dog Lucy.
John is a great sitter. He was awesome with our two older dogs and the extra care they needed. The house was also clean and tidy. We will be using him as our first choice from now on.
