Amazing job, very attentive to both the dogs and house. Made our vacation much better not being worried if our dogs were being taken care of.

Johnathan cared for Abby over Christmas and was absolutely amazing—we couldn’t be more thankful for him. He was incredibly responsive, extremely supportive of her needs, and his professional background working with animals really showed. Our dog normally struggles when we leave due to separation anxiety; however, it was clear she felt comfortable with him, as her routine—including her bathroom schedule—remained completely the same. He truly went above and beyond for us, and we felt completely at ease knowing Abby was in such capable hands.

Johnathan was great. He watch both of our dogs and took great care of our older dog that needs a lot of tlc and medication. He was good with communication and was great with the dogs and the house.

Johnathon did a great job watching Sophie over the weekend! She is on a schedule with her feeding/supplements to keep her stable, and he did his best to stick to that and make any adjustments as needed. I appreciate his professionalism and consideration with everything going on with her, and I appreciate the communication of noticing when she wasn’t eating enough, etc. I was definitely less anxious leaving her this time. Thank you again!!

I worked with John for a few years in veterinary medicine, in a manager standpoint and a co worker stand point. He provides exceptional care to the pets and you can see his passion for animals when he does it. I would trust him 100x over to care for my animals. He is trustworthy, loving, and responsible. He does exactly what is asked of him and more!

Please be upfront with any medical issues, medications, or care. Special food preparation and handling/care for your pets and their belongings can also be arranged. No detail is too much information to include. Its also important to note any "triggers" your pet me have. I would hate to strain my relationship with them by unintentionally putting them in a situation that causes them stress.
