Pet care experience

I’ve been walking and caring for dogs for over 10 years, and I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! Every dog is welcome, and I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality, routine, and needs. I can make your routine my routine so your dog feels as comfortable as possible while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, runs, hikes, endless games of fetch, or simply relaxing at home, I’m happy to match their pace. If your pup has energy to burn, I’m more than happy to help them get it out. Whatever you and your dog are most comfortable with, I’ll make it happen. You’ll always receive photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing exactly how your pet is doing. My goal is to build a relationship with your dog so they’re excited to see me every time I walk through the door.

Cannot recommend Jonathan enough! Very kind, thoughtful, responsive, and professional. He took great care of our pets and I will definitely be booking him again for the future.

Jonathan is amazing with animals! He has watched both my dog and cat multiple times and is always responsible, attentive, and loving. I always feel comfortable knowing my pets are in great hands.

Jonny has been watching our dog, Kibbie, since she was just a puppy, and she’s absolutely obsessed with him. The second she sees him, her whole body starts wiggling because she’s so excited. Kibbie has a ton of energy, and Jonny always makes sure she gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. Whether it’s a long walk, playing fetch, or just hanging out with her, he always makes sure she has a great time. What I appreciate most is how much he genuinely cares about her. He doesn’t just stop by to feed her and leave—he spends time with her and treats her like she’s his own dog. That gives us so much peace of mind whenever we’re away because we know she’s happy and well taken care of. We trust Jonny completely, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. If Kibbie had it her way, she’d probably choose to go home with him every time!

Jonny took such great care of our cat, Oreo, while we were away. As she’s gotten older, she’s become pretty cranky and has a lot of separation anxiety whenever we’re gone, so finding someone we’re comfortable leaving her with has been difficult. Jonny was incredibly patient and understanding with her. He respected Oreo’s space, worked with her at her own pace, and did everything he could to help her feel comfortable and cared for. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about her well-being and wasn’t discouraged by her grumpy attitude. The regular updates and photos gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing Oreo was in such caring hands following her routine made being away so much easier. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust Jonny again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate pet sitter.
