Pet care experience
Owner & President at Jon Loves Dogs, LLC — Your dog's next best friend! As an ex-professional pet groomer and an active animal welfare volunteer, I am not just a dog walker—I'm a professionally trained and experienced animal handler. Bring me your anxious dogs, your seniors who need some extra love and trained handling, your giant breeds and pit bulls that nobody else wants to handle, and your last-minute urgent requests for care. Additionally, as a licensed owner of a New Jersey-registered busines, you can expect top marks in responsibility, responsiveness, professionalism, and customer service from me at all times. I'm not just looking to make a few extra bucks on the side—This is what I do for a living, full-time! Health issues or special care required? I've administered canine medication both orally and nasally, and I'm certified by the American Red Cross in both dog and cat First Aid and CPR. Additionally, I am physically fit and trained to lift dogs up to and beyond to 100 lbs. Whatever the case, I'm confident I can handle it for you. When everyone else says no, ask me!

Reviews

Jon was great. I had to schedule last minute and he took great care of my dog. Sent photos making me feel comfortable while I was away. I’ll definitely work with him again.

Absolutely fantastic service!

Jon is absolutely amazing, punctual, compassionate, and professional! Our Roxie is a special needs dog and he provided the best care for her. He always leaves detailed notes after walks making me feel at ease and confident knowing she was well taken care of. Thank you, Jon!! You are an absolutely life saver!

Jon is simply fantastic!

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
I've hiked with clients, run with them, brushed out long-haired breeds, worked on training and socialization with puppies, provided enrichment for senior dogs, fed and delivered medication, and more. Whether it's your typical walk or more involved care, I'm here for you.
