I'm currently building my own web services business from home, and have plenty of free time to spend with your pups in our fenced in yard. I play soccer everyday with "Linux" my 9yr old schipperke. If you're not sure what that is she's the black one in all of my pics. Very well behaved she is great at picking up on social cues and also giving them. She is the pack coordinator here at our house. Ham the little white Pomeranian thinks he's the fun police of the house - barking every time the other pups play with toys he loves to cheer them on with a ton of barking. He is all that though, just a barker. He's older and has very little teeth left just like his older sister "Tink" a long haired Chihuahua that needs to be air lifted from the 7" high steps strictly due to her motivation levels. We exercise her everyday by hiding treats in the yard and having them hunt the treats. It helps activate and relieve their primal instincts to hunt. We do trick training for at least 15 minutes a day. This helps to keep them attentive to humans for verbal and physical cues or directions. Most fun of all I like to go for a 2 mile jog in the AM with Linux. If we don't go for a jog we go hiking somewhere local such as Reedy Creek Park.

We have 3 small dogs in the home plenty of space outside we have a fenced in yard they can run around all day and play. If they get along with any of our dogs they're more than welcome to play together. I lived with an animal behaviorist for 10+ years, volunteered for over 10+ years as a dog walker at the humane society in Ma and CT. I can administer iV, care for elder, delicate, puppies,scared,traumatized,animals. If you're animal does not get along well with other dogs we can still make arrangements. I can spend the day with them I just need advanced notice. I've been training dogs for years and have no issue helping with obedience or socialization. You can rest assured that your fur baby is in good hands, and will be treated as if they were one of my own. I love each animal I meet the same way I love my very own child (1 x19 y.o. - does not live in the house with us) if you have any questions or special requests feel free to reach out. I'm available weekdays 9-8 Sat all day and Sunday all day after church gets out.

Pet care experience
Escape from the corporate grind? Check! After nearly two decades leading enterprise sales teams to success, I've traded my suits for leashes. Now a freelance tech sales consultant, I'm reveling in my newfound freedom with my beloved Schipperke, Linux (yes, named after the OS!).My journey with animals began alongside an animal behaviorist, unraveling the intricate tapestry of our furry friends' communications. From yawns of discomfort to licks of nervousness, I've dedicated my life to speaking their silent language.I've navigated complex care scenarios, from managing a senior diabetic Chihuahua to comforting a sightless Yorkie. At home, I'm a proud fur-dad to a trio of little ones, each with their unique quirks and all dearly loved.Our secure, self-built fenced in sanctuary is where safety meets fun, ensuring peace of mind while nurturing our pups' need for play. Training is my forte, fostering bonds through positive reinforcement and mutual respect.Joining Rover was a natural step, urged by friends who've witnessed my passion firsthand. Entrust me with your canine companion, and I'll ensure they receive the most compassionate care, following your directives to the letter. And who knows? They might return to you with a new way to 'speak' their love and trust.

Reviews
Just for context I am a crazy dog mom. So I am very serious about who I let watch my dog. Johnathan was great! He was so patient with Bobbi! Bobbi is very timid and attached to me. It took him a little to trust John and want to leave to walk with him. John took his time with Bobbi and did a couple of introductions until Bobbi would walk with him. He showed Bobbi such kindness. He is also very quick to respond and professional, always on time and communicative. He also can train very very well. So when he has been walking Bobbi he has also been training him and after a week or 2 Bobbi has improved so much on the leash! John also helped me with a foster situation where my foster was going after my dog Bobbi. He showed me how to get them to not focus on each other. It was a very scary situation and I was very grateful John was there to help. You can tell he is experienced with dog fights and training. We are so grateful to have John!
Could not be happier with the superior, professional and prompt service that I received from Jonathan. My dog was out of control before I called upon Jonathan to assist me as I was at my wits end and did not know where to turn. The turnaround of the behavior of my dog is nothing short of a miracle. I would recommend and have recommended Jonathan to all of my friends and relatives and I encourage you all to do the same. His sheer compassion and care towards all animals is great as well. I do not do many reviews but this service was special and I need to let that be known to as many people as possible.
Jonathan was a great dog sitter and walker. He was able to follow all of our directions and got along great with our dog. Would def recommend to anyone.
