Pet care is already part of my daily life. I’m used to keeping a consistent routine with walks, feeding, and playtime, especially with high-energy dogs. I’m flexible during the week and make sure each dog gets attention, structure, and a calm environment.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a calm, safe, and structured environment wherever I’m caring for pets. In my home, I keep things clean, supervised, and consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and rest. Dogs are always monitored, and I make sure they’re comfortable and not overwhelmed. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your dog’s normal routine to keep things familiar and stress-free. I pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritize your pet’s safety. I’m also experienced with high-energy dogs, so I make sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and calm time.

Information Jonathan D. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know ahead of time if your pup has any issues with other dogs any medication that they need or any special needs or any sort of dietary restrictions

A typical day

A typical day with me looks like going out to explore around the neighborhood. I love to take them to the park next to my house. I love to socialize and train dogs, adventure walks, trips to lowes, pet smarts, free roaming around my fenced yard etc.

Experienced & reliable pup sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 5 years, including raising and training my own high-energy pup. I focus on structure, consistency, and calm energy—whether that’s walks, feeding routines, or reinforcing good behavior. I’m experienced with puppies, energetic breeds, and dogs that need a little extra guidance or patience. I pay close attention to behavior and body language, so I can keep dogs safe, engaged, and comfortable. Whether your dog needs exercise, structure, or just someone dependable, I make sure they’re well cared for like they’re my own.

This was my first time using Rover, Jonathan is so professional, he asked to come and meet my two 75 pound boys two weeks prior, he came right in and greeted them and he sat on the floor with the lab and you just could feel the love from him with the boys. He sent pictures and videos every day, he even emptied my robot vacuum each day. He was absolutely the best!!

Jonathan & his wife were amazing with my dog, Bunny. They sent me pics throughout the day to keep me at ease AND played fetch with her, which she loved. She also cuddled up on their couch & made herself right at home, which was very kind of them. Thank you!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
