Pet care experience

Your Furry Friend Is In Good Hands!

I’ve been around animals my whole life. When I was growing up my family and I never had less than 2 dogs and 2 cats in my household at one time. 8 years ago I adopted my current best friend, a big special needs pooch (Marty Barkavious) and last year I rescued a week old kitten and nursed him into a full grown lion king named Mao Mao (he’s the cutest) For most of my adult life I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family who own pets. I’ve helped take care of puppies/kittens, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, senior dogs, special needs pets etc. My goal is always to keep your pet as happy and comfortable as possible while you are away. Services: Dog Walking: I would be happy to take your furry friend for a nice relaxing walk around your neighborhood. I have experience with all kinds of dogs (big dogs, small dogs, hyper dogs, dogs who pull, dogs that are distracted by everything, dogs that tire easily etc). I do ask that you provide poop bags for your dogs however. Check-ins and visits: Going away for a few days? Need someone reliable to take care of your pet while you're gone? Look no further. I can provide drop in visits for your pet. This includes walks, feedings, playtime and anything else your pet requires. Your furry friend is in great hands. Health needs: I have experience in caring for senior and special needs dogs. If your pet needs medications or any extra attention, I am equipped to handle such requests. I work full time as a leasing agent, but I have a pretty flexible schedule most days. I can take care of your furry friends during my lunch break, and also before and after work. I’m off work every Sunday and usually Monday’s as well, so on those days my schedule is wide open. I will first and foremost follow your guidelines and suggestions for how I should care for your pet. I’m very patient (my dog is special needs after all). I believe that maintaining a routine is core for keeping your pet happy. I will make sure your pets are happy and content while you’re gone.

I contacted Jonathan last minute as I had a family emergency, I needed to fly out of state for. I had never used a pet sitter before and wasn't sure what to expect. Jonathan did a great job in communicating with me and sending pictures at each visit. I would definitely use Rover and Jonathan again as he did a top-notch service. Thanks again Jonathan for helping out in a last-minute situation.

Pets

A typical day

I’ll take your pup for a long, engaging walk, every pooch deserves that much. Outside of that, I will want to know what you and your pet typically do together and I will try to stick as closely to that routine as possible. I think it’s important for a dog to maintain their routine even when their human isn’t around. With that being said, if you have a backyard, I’m a sucker for playing fetch with dogs.

I’d like to know your dogs routine first, what sorts of ways they play, what their favorite toys are etc, and also whether or not he has any physical ailments or medical conditions I should know about.
