Momo and I have a very consistent schedule. I feed him around 6 am then go back to sleep. 7:30 am we are at the park either meeting up with his friends or on our own and we stay at least 45 min either playing fetch or walking around (likely longer unless I have meetings). After that I come home work for about 30 min, because now we play more fetch in the hallway. Finally I will work for about 5+ hours, then head to the gym, come back and depending on how sleepy he is either take him for another walk or let him nap. Around 5pm its his dinner time and we end up going for a late night walk around 7 pm. Throughout the day there is plenty of playing, chasing and cuddles. Some days we will substitute the park for going on a long walk and I'll let him tell me where we are going. Weekends I try to take him to the Lake for a big walk or to the beach, but I take him out at least 3-4 times a day and its the best part of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for a dog is understanding their boundaries and what is best for them. Whether your dog needs to be laying next to me while I work, tucked in for naps, or needs his bed in the only spot in the house where the sun shines so they can bake like a potato, I will accommodate. I'd be happy to send photos of them throughout the day and provide updates whenever needed.

Pet care experience

A "Dog First" Approach My world revolves around my dog, and I bring that same compassion and respect to yours. I am a firm believer in letting dogs set the pace. Whether it’s going for a long "sniffary" to engage their brain, providing mental enrichment activities, or my favorite—cuddles and telling them they’re the best ever—I make sure your dog feels seen and loved. For The Dogs Who Are Selective I have a natural touch with dogs that are shy or picky about their humans. My neighbor’s Blue Heeler/Husky/Shepherd mix—who is very "iffy" with strangers—is now one of my best buds. I read body language and wait for a dog to approach me on their own terms. If your dog is a "one-person dog" or just prefers a calmer presence, we will get along great. The Puppy-Proof Eye I’ve had my own dog since he was 8 weeks old. I know exactly how quickly a puppy will run off with something they shouldn't have if you look away for two seconds! I bring that same level of hyper-vigilance to your home, ensuring your pup stays safe and out of trouble while you’re away. Your Home is My Office As a fully remote professional, I’m not just stopping by—I’m moving my office to your living room. This means constant companionship for your dog and the peace of mind that your home is occupied and secure. I’m happy to follow any specific house rules or routines to ensure your dog’s day stays as normal as possible.

Jonathan helped us with dog walks for over a week. Our dogs are picky and take a while to warm up (they are Shiba Inus), but they really seemed to like Jonathan immediately. He was extra communicative and sent great videos, photos and updates. Absolutely would hire Jonathan again.

Jonathan was amazing! Joplin immediately felt comfortable with him and I felt incredibly comfortable having him care for her. He’s naturally kind with dogs and I’ll definitely reach out to him in the future.
