A friend that cares

Hi Friend, I am Johnathan and Im excited to meet you and your fur baby. I live and mostly service the Chicago area but I'm always willing to travel and discover the surrounding areas. I grew up around dogs and I'm sure your pup will warm up quickly to me. I’ve cared for dogs from Chicago to California, of all kinds, sizes and temperaments - even the feline kind. Send me your shy ones and your energy balls, l've had them all and they all love me. Outside for caring for pups I'm an actor who loves video and board games, a tasty lemon pastry and adventures! Rain, sun or shine - give me a ring and I'll be there!

Safety, trust & environment

I always leave the home in the exact way I found it and sometimes I make sure to give everything a nice cleaning depending on the length of the stay. I try to follow the routine of the client so the pup feels comfortable If the pup is use to being home alone on most days. The I’ll usually cuddle up with the pup and binge watch Netflix inbetween our walks and our feedings. Whatever the case an adventure will ensue

Johnathan was great! He was very accommodating with our times and needs. He kept Gibbs busy and he was happy for it. Gibbs really liked Jonathan. You could just tell by the way he greeted him at the door. We'd use him again if we visit the area.

Jonathan’s great! We’re so thankful for his care and professionalism. Our dogs needed special attention for his first visit with quite a few details to keep track of. He did everything to assure us that we could be away for a short while without concern. We got reports always saw joyful, healthy pups. We’re glad to have him in our community.

Johnathan is amazing!! He’s so dependable and good with the dogs. I have no worries when he’s watching Cami and Chloe.

Jonathan was very patient with Basil! She’s super shy but he still took her for walks and left her well taken care of :)
