Excellent care for our cat while we were away. Jon stopped by daily providing food, water, and meds. He stayed in touch with us throughout the week. Would highly recommend.

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. As a trained pet groomer, I’m happy to brush out long-haired coats, give short-haired dogs a spa day, or just keep your pet looking and feeling their best. 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.
