I work a rather unpredictable schedule, but often have off weekends, where I'm home almost the entirety of the day if you check with me I can best let you know if I can host your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for a very very nice dog named Finley who would love a friend to hang out with, we have an outdoor porch and a big grassy yard, and I stay close by, playing with toys between chores or cuddling while watching a movie. There are also parks around if you feel comfortable having your pup come with me on a longer walk or to socialize with others. I am looking for more even tempered dogs to host but good playful energy is welcomed if they get along with others.

Information Jonathan B. would like to know about your pet

Mostly just aggression level, or any sort of things to be wary of ( if they like to pull their leash, are prone to potty accidents etc) So that I can be aware and adjust our time together. If housesitting Location of items like leash, poo bags, and anything you think they might need would be helpful to save me the time of having to text you to ask.

A typical day

Upon arranging to be your dog care provider I would see if there are any special spots your dog enjoys going, If your pup is a little more inside or low energy. I can definitely scale that down to throwing the ball across the room, or even just snuggles or company. My dog Finley is a very playful pup who will likely play with toys with your pup or just go take a nap with him if they get along.

Pets

Former Kennel Attendant/Bather

Pet care experience

Recently moved back to Islamorada. 6 years I used to work as a Kennel Attendant, and Groomer's Assistant. Supervising and cleaning up after dogs big and small, While I know the job can sometimes be challenging, I also know how rewarding it can be. I walk daily on my own so exercise and being active would be no problem to incorporate, I have experience working with even the biggest of dogs and letting them know who's Alpha. I am sensitive to dogs needs regarding hot pavement, and would work to do my best to keep them in shaded or softer areas for walking. Since I worked as an attendant and bather, a simple bath and brush would be easy to arrange if shampoo and towels are available and your pet feels safe having a stranger do it. I would love being able to provide that little extra to make your dog feel like a personal client and special friend.

10/10 recommend! Jonathan was so great with my mini-bernedoodle. Gave so many updates during the stay and provided great care for her. If you are looking for a trustworthy, professional dog care for your pup, look no further!

Jonathan went above and beyond. My husband and I and our friends left our pups with him while we went on a fishing trip and I could not have asked for a better sitter. He sent endless photos and updates of our pup. He let them play, rest, and even gave him a bath at the end of the stay. 12/10!!! Jonathan is THE BEST!!!!!

Jonathon is one of the greatest people I've ever met; kind, charismatic, and an amazing individual to be around. He is a perfect person to be a caregiver for any animal! A truly good spirited and dependable friend.
