Jon took care of my dogs several times when I was hospitalized. He fed them, walked them and even cooked for them due to my dogs allergies. I had 3 bull terriers then became 2 when one died of cancer. My dogs like him better than me which is a little insulting. We walked our dogs together many times. He is good with my dogs and I trust him completely. He even has a key to my house in case of emergencies.

Jon is great with all animals. He has a huge soft spot when it comes to pets and is also extremely trustworthy and responsible. Your pet will be in good hands with him. I’ve known him for many years and highly recommend his services.

Jon is great. He regularly volunteers for our rescue and helps transport our dogs from shelters or fosters or owner surrenders to their forever homes. We trust him with the health and welfare of our wayward souls regularly.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs (physical/medical) or issues (not dog-friendly, high prey drive, etc). Also when finished, where should the dog be left, e.g., free-roam in house, crate, specific room, etc.
