Pet care experience
Hello there! Thanks for checking me out! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work directly with you and your pets. I’ve explored a variety of jobs and industries and I have always been drawn to the aspect of providing service and care to people. Like many others I have been around pets since I was born, but I also have plenty of work experience with jobs involving going to multiple homes in a day for service tickets, allowing me to have met countless pets over the years. I find it incredibly rewarding to be able to provide value to people in a way that improves their life, and that’s what I aim to do with every client and pet I work with. One of the primary reasons I have committed to doing this is because I want to be able to work directly with people and not have a large corporation get in the way because their focus is more so on their numbers or profits. This work is my primary source of income, so when I am caring for your pets it is not just something on the side for me. I am here for you! People that I have worked with love the peace of mind I provide with my care. You will get plenty of updates and high quality photos. I very much enjoy photography as well and intend to do more with that in the future! Thank you again for checking out my profile! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to working with you!
Reviews
Jonathan was great with my timid dog and gave her the time to warm up. He made sure our availabilities worked together and Gretchen got nice walks.
Great communication all week. House was as we left it when we left. I will reach out to Jonathan again.
Jonathan was fantastic! He was great at communicating and took amazing pictures of our pups. They looked so happy and relaxed the whole time we were gone. Highly recommended Jonathan and his services. We will certainly use him again.
Jonathan was great and communicative, and both of our dogs loved him. And the takes great photos! Will definitely ask him to walk the pups.

Safety, trust & environment
It’s very important to me that any animals I work with feel comfortable, safe, and respected at all times. The animals I have worked with have come from a large variety of backgrounds. Some have been effortless to work with while others required multiple weeks of building trust and rapport before physical touch even happened. I know not to rush the process, and to provide a space that allows for animals to not only feel comfortable existing, but expressing themselves! I love those moments where a once timid animals opens up and does something expressive and fun. It is my promise to you that your pets will feel safe and cared for at all times.
Information Jonathan C. would like to know about your pet
Any insights you can provide about their behavioral patterns or quirks, such as separation anxiety or resource guarding, are very helpful. Knowing about an animal’s sensitivities allows me to ensure their comfort and well-being. I always want to make sure that I’m doing my best to keep your pet happy!
A typical day
A typical day starts out with me letting any doggos out and then taking care of their breakfast and/or any particular needs they have. There are some local parks and dog parks that are available but The Fan has plenty of smells for our casual walks. I always make sure I’m staying on top of taking them out throughout the day and providing enough stimulation. Many of my guests enjoy the calm environment that I have and my dog bed (and human bed) have been very popular. I will often be working from my laptop with a doggo by my feet or sleeping on my dog bed near me. For any time that I am away from home (like walking another doggo), I have a couple of cameras that I can check on and talk to any doggos!

Availability
This work is my primary source of income and I am dedicated to doing this long term! I am grateful for the opportunity to financially support myself with this type of work. I have been focusing on House Sitting primarily and often do not have walks scheduled so that means I get to stay with your furry friends quite a lot!
