Pet care experience
Hello, fellow pet lovers! I'm Jon, a lifelong animal enthusiast from rural Nebraska. Growing up amidst dogs, cats, ducks, lizards, rodents, and more, I developed a deep love and understanding for all critters. My experience extends beyond family pets - I've been a go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors. I’ve also done volunteer work at a no-kill shelter in Phoenix, and I'm excited about upcoming volunteer opportunities at the Marine Wildlife Center! I'm not just an animal lover; I'm a dedicated, reliable pet care provider. Whether it's administering basic medication, following specific care routines, or just providing loving companionship, I'm here to ensure your pets are happy, healthy, and safe. In my home, two adorable cats rule the roost, and a future dog buddy is on the horizon. But until then, I'd be thrilled to look after your furry, scaly, or feathery family members. Outside of the services listed, I'm also potentially open to overnight stays or other commitments, depending on your circumstances. Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss how I can help make your time away worry-free for both you and your pets. Let's ensure your beloved companions receive the best care and affection in your absence!
Reviews
I’ve known Jonathan his entire life and he has been obsessed with pets and animals as long as I can remember. I would trust him with my dog in a moments notice.
Jon's role as a loving and responsible pet owner is truly evident in the daily care he provides for his cat, Bixby. I was Jon’s roommate and observed him not only diligently feeding Bixby but also engaging in daily play sessions, showering him with love and affection. Jon's commitment goes beyond routine activities – he consistently ensures Bixby's well-being by scheduling regular check-ups at the vet. I distinctly recall an instance when Bixby faced a health issue; Jon swiftly took him to the vet and adhered to their recommendations for a new diet. Thanks to Jon's attentive care, Bixby not only recovered but thrived splendidly. I have also seen Jon care in the same way for his parents’ pets when needed, as well as helping taking care of friends’ dogs when they were out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
It's important to me that your pets are safe and happy the entire time you are away. I know exactly how it feels to leave the care of your family in the hands of a new person, so I commit to being hyper vigilant about the security and wellbeing of animals I care for. Each animal is unique and requires different levels of care - depending on the unique care required, I may not be the best fit. I do not have formal experience in providing injections or more hands-on medications, but am happy to discuss your pet's needs and evaluate with you whether my care is adequate.

I work flexible hours from home, and generally if I have 1week+ of notice, can make various times throughout the workday work. My evening availability is also quite flexible. I'm also available on most holidays outside of Christmas and Thanksgiving every year.
