A little about me - After retired recently from the Army, I’m now a “stay at home dad”. I'm a huge animal lover and our dogs are very social! I enjoy dog sitting as I get to constantly meet new dogs and ours get new playmates. We allow our pets on our furniture, so please let me know if you do not. This way we can reinforce your rules. Rest assured they will have a wonderful time while here! We are a family of three. My wife, Jenny is a registered nurse and our daughter, Juliana who is age 13. I/we can give your dog that one-on-one time or socialization with my own dogs. Lots of outdoor play time, cuddles, and potty breaks!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and environment - I have a large fenced in yard for this area with plenty of grass and shady areas. We do not take your dog(s) for walks as I feel it's safer to keep them in a controlled setting. It's what I would prefer if someone were to sit for our "fur children." I have 3 GSPs that love to run and play with other dogs and our backyard offers MORE room than most dog parks! Check out my gallery to see our yard, pool, and shaded areas. Trust they will get PLENTY of exercise while here, LOL! My dogs do not stay in crates during the day. We do however have crates available if needed. We normally feed our 3 together in the same room, but when boarding we do separate our furry guest. Don't worry, they'll be accompanied by one of us during feeding time. Rest assured your dog will be loved as one of our own.

Information Jonathan J. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s happiness and well-being are our number one priority. Your dog must be “dog friendly” with all other dogs and people. Please know this is for the safety of our daughter and all pets. We are very happy to do meet and greets, we actually prefer it ourselves. It’s not required, but we think it puts both parties at ease. Things we would like to know about your dog: feeding schedule, where do they like to sleep, medications if any, food restrictions, any commands you would like reinforced while they are in our care. We want this to be their vacation destination/home away from home!

A typical day

We have plenty of activities to keep your dog entertained. From playing fetch in our HUGE fenced in yard, or cuddling on the couch, to bird watching... we also have a pool if you’re comfortable allowing them to join in on the fun.

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Jonathan. I have recently retired from the US Army after 27 years of service. We are only a 14 minute commute to the Orlando International Air Port and within 2 miles of getting you back onto the toll road!! We have a VERY large fenced in yard to keep your dog safe and secure. We do not crate our dogs, but we have extra crates if needed. If allowed, your dog(s) may swim in our pool with our own 3 German Shorthaired pointers! If not, they can be safely kept away! Love all sizes of dogs!

Jonathan took great care of my dog, Judd! Jonathan has a beautiful home with a large, fenced in backyard for lots of running and playtime! He also has three dogs of his own that got on wonderfully with Judd. Jonathan provided pictures and videos of Judd playing and cuddling with his family members every day. After just losing my longtime sitter, I no longer need to be worried about who will take care of Judd when we travel! I am SO thankful we found Jonathan!

Jonathan and his family were amazing and did a better job of watching our girl than I think we do at home. She had a fantastic time!

I can’t recommend Jonathan enough! He took amazing care of my dog, Cora, while I was on vacation. He kept me updated with lots of pictures and regular communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cora had a fantastic time playing with his other dogs, and it was clear she was happy and well cared for. I was able to truly relax knowing she was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Jonathan’s services again!
