Safety, trust & environment

I am very conscientious and responsible. I lost my own dog of 14 years and this has opened the door for me to be able to tend to your dog or cat. I can only offer the same loving care that I showed my own dog.

Information Jon E. would like to know about your pet

I like to know, firstly, if your dog likes to interact with other dogs. Do I need to distract your dog when a squirrel is near? Does your dog like people? Will your dog try to slip it's collar? Is your dog aggressive toward any animal or person? As far as the pace of the walk, your animal will inform me.

A typical day

If you have a ball dog, great! I can do that all day if that's what your pet wants. I feel it is important to let the dog take all the time it needs to explore as we walk. If you prefer me to walk on and minimize the exploring in order to get more exercise, I can do that, too.

We will bond. I guarantee it!

Pet care experience

I love animals. Growing up with pets of all kinds I learned to appreciate them and recognize their needs. I know the importance of bonding with them and find great joy in forming that bond. I did domestic care for four years and my primary job was tending to the animals. I am trustworthy and caring and I will put the needs of your pet first. Every time. I have made pet care my priority. I presently work full time in pet car. I also love pet photography and offer that as a service I am available on a drop-in basis and I can make myself available for overnights and extended stays as well. Whatever you need, don't hesitate to ask.

Jon was wonderful with our 13 week old puppy!! It was our first time leaving her overnight and he stayed at our house for 3 nights with her. He was very communicative with any questions he had after reviewing her schedule (she is still pretty needy), sent us wonderful pictures/videos throughout the weekend, and even offered to take us to the airport/pick us up! He left the house as if no one had stayed there and we really appreciated everything! We’d highly recommend him to care for your pup ?

Jon was wonderful, took great care of the animals and they liked him. He was prompt and sent us photos and let us know that all was well which greatly added to our weekend adventure. Looking for places to go so we can use Jon again.
