Highlights
Pet care experience
Teacher and pet-care professional
I'm Jonathan (though I mainly go by Jack): Substitute teacher by day (so no daytime walks on school days), pet-care professional any other time! For about a decade, I've been providing top-quality pet care in the New York City and Hudson Valley areas. I'm a thoughtful, sensitive, nurturing person. I take my responsibility to care for your animal very seriously and will do whatever it takes to help them (and you!) feel safe and happy. I put in the time to get to know your pet's unique needs. Older dogs and ones with special emotional needs have become a specialty of mine. I know there are a lot of pet-care professionals on this app. Please check out my reviews and see what others have to say about me. You can trust me to be there for your beloved pet when you can't!
Cat care experience
Jonathan also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I can't take pets at my home, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to care for your pet at yours. I do a quick "get to know you" session before agreeing to a new client, so that I can meet you and your animal, get acquainted with your home, ask important questions about your and your pet's needs, and make sure that I understand exactly how to give your pet the highest level of care!
Ratings and reviews
Jonathan was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs and cat! He was extremely reliable, responsible, and great with communication. His daily updates and pictures gave us complete peace of mind knowing our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He truly went above and beyond, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We highly recommend Jonathan and will definitely use him again! ❤️
Jonathan did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs. He arrived on time each day for a drop-in visit. Our dogs received a long walk and play time.
Jack was great with both of my boys! Especially my senior boy Henry who needed medication and Jack was on top of it! So grateful!
Johnathan was amazing with our pets!
He was so wonderful and accommodating. I am always going to use him. Keep him on your payroll please.🫶😁
Jonathan made a drop in visit to give Hudson a meal and some time outside. I received pictures and confirmation that Hudson was doing great!

Schedule
I'm currently a substitute teacher, so I'm mainly available in the EARLY mornings and then evenings and weekends for walks, feeding, etc. for dogs and cats. Very open for overnight stays (any night, provided you can accommodate my daytime substitute schedule), though I may need to go visit other clients on the weekends.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsDogs over 1 year oldJonathan can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I will only take on new clients after a short "meet and greet." I'll want to know the following information about your pet: - What's your pet's daily routine? (Food, medicine, walks, etc.) - What does "normal" behavior look like for them? (Are they very energetic, more sedate, etc?) - Any allergies or foods/substances to avoid. (I ONLY give your animal what you want them to have.) - Any past traumas your pet has experienced? - What activities does your pet enjoy? - What activities should we avoid? - How does your pet liked to be touched, pet, handled, etc.? (And what ways does your pet NOT like to be touched?) - Any noises/experiences/settings that will trigger your pet? - What types of people/dogs must your dog avoid while out on walks? - Anything else I should know?
