Pet care experience

Dogs are children, too! 🐶

Hi! I'm Jon, a dedicated and enthusiastic pet lover based in Pea Ridge, Arkansas. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting services. With a passion for animals and a commitment to their well-being, I ensure your pets receive the best care while you're away. I have experience with various breeds and am comfortable with pets of all sizes. I have fostered and adopted numerous dogs when I lived in Illinois from Illinois Valley Animal Rescue (IVAR) shelter. I have lived with dogs since I was 8 years old. I am a trustworthy individual as one of my professors from college trusted me to watch his dog two times for 2 weeks while he was away in Arizona. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend(s)!

Safety, trust & environment

I think safety is the most important thing when taking care of someone’s dog! I think it is important to tell me how you want me to take care of your dog, so that everyone receives a great experience. I want to make sure your dog is comfortable in their own environment. Tell me what their favorite toy is, their favorite treat, their favorite place to go to for a walk, as well as their favorite scratch spots.

Did a good job, kept the animals busy always seemed that they looked tired and panting(in a glood way). Also was willing too watch an extra animal thst we weren't able too add on rover due too it being a bird rather than dog/cat

Jon was great with Cora while I was out of town. She enjoyed going on walks with him every day! Jon was also very respectful of the house and I think it’s cleaner than when I left!

Schedule

Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule as I work remotely. This allows me to help others take care of their dogs without any time constraints. I work non-exhaustive hours, and my position lets me adjust my work hours throughout the day, giving me the flexibility to provide the best care for your pets.

Please let me know the essentials such as if they have anxiety, aggression toward children or dogs, food allergies, medications, or injuries. Let me know what they like and dislike. What is their daily routine? Do they have a favorite snack?
