About Jon E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
As a homeowner myself, I understand the importance of keeping your home safe, secure, and well cared for—right alongside your pets. I treat every home I enter with the same level of respect and attention I give my own, creating a calm, comfortable environment for animals of all kinds.
Information Jon E. would like to know about your pet
It's important I'm aware of specific pet anxieties so I can work not only to avoid triggering them, but to ensure I take the right approach in making your pet fully comfortable with me as quickly as possible. In addition to that, please let me know of any allergies your pet may have, as I tend to give single ingredient beef liver/lung treats during my meet-and-greets and walks to positively encourage good behavior.
A typical day
In my downtime, I’m usually hiking, reading, or gaming—so whether your pup is a brachycephalic couch potato or a high-drive working breed, I’m in my element. I can also help with training and socialization for puppies, enrichment activities for seniors, medication administration, and more. Whatever your pet needs, I’ve probably done it—and I’m happy to help.

I run a licensed and insured New Jersey pet care business, and this is what I do every day. Most clients come to me because they value experience, consistency, and knowing their pet is in capable hands—especially when the care isn’t simple.

I don’t compete on volume or discounts—I focus on delivering exceptional, reliable care.

Reviews

Jon was wonderful and attentive to Winnie’s needs. Given her special needs, he made sure Winnie was safe and comfortable during their walk. 10/10 recommend and will be using him going forward.

Jon was great, highly recommended.

Jon was amazing to my big boy, Luka. He’s super friendly, cares about the dogs and is extremely communicative. Luka warmed up to him right away and Jon is helping my boy get used to his new surroundings and does it with much care. Jon was kind of enough to send progress pics and messages. Thank you so much again and look forward to more visits and walks!

Jon was a beyond wonderful walker for Millie!! Since Millie is a reactive dog, I was looking for someone who would be attentive during walks with her and able to react quickly to remove Millie from stressful situations while I was away. Jon was the perfect match for her! He was incredible comfortable with her right from the start, and left descriptive Rover cards after each walk, along with plenty of pictures so I could tell she was having a great time. I really can’t overstate how much of a relief it was to know Millie was safe and in such good hands. Wish I could give him 10 stars. Will definitely book again!!
