Dogs love me and I love dogs!

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house full of dogs and cats. My Mom worked as a vet tech and I grew up helping her care for all kinds of animals at the clinic. I am fit and athletic, 210lb. I can handle any size dog, as well as multiple dogs at once. I can exercise/play with your dog however you/they like. Run, hike, frisbee, tug of war, ball, etc. I've never met a dog I didn't like, and that didn't like me.

Jon is great with dogs. He’s big so he’s able to control large dogs if they start pulling but also gentle enough to care for elderly or sick dogs. He knows how to talk to a treat dogs so they warm up to him immediately. 10/10 would recommend.

Jon absolutely adores animals and has grown up around so many- pigs, dogs, chickens, cats, monkeys, marsupials, cockroaches, llamas, even! He is very attentive, caring, and experienced with all types of animals of all different ages and medical conditions. I trust Jon with my entire being and am secure in knowing he will always do his best to care for your pet just like his own.

Jon is a lifelong dog lover and has been a great help when asked to care for my dogs in the past. I have asked Jon to board my dog several times previously and have always had an incredible amount of trust in Jon and his abilities to take care of my pups. Jon has always a great help with all of my dogs and I’d highly recommend his help!

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I live in a condo where Im not allowed to own a dog, (breaks my heart). I can have a dog visit my house, but not spend the night. I live in downtown Carp, walking distance to the beach, parks, and hiking trails. I will treat you dog as if it were my own and cherish our time together.

Information Jon F. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with any breed. I know American Staffordshire Terriers, boxers and labs the best having grown up with those breeds. But I have experiance with a wide rage of breeds. The things I would need to know are temperament. If I need to take special precautions if your dog is not friendly with other animals? Will your dog need to stay on leash at all times? Are they a runner? Also any other special needs.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs! I am game for whatever activity your dog likes. I am great at throwing frisbees, balls, playing tug of war, running, hiking, etc. I used to be a lifeguard and am comfortable playing with your dog in the ocean, however I would need to charge an extra cost for bathing if reqired.
