Information Jonathan J. would like to know about your pet

Working at a pet store allows me to engage and interact with a wide variety of animals. I am here to help with any needs you or your animals may need during your absence. If there is anything you need that I can do please do not hesitate to contact me.

A typical day

Engaging in a variety of fun activities is a key aspect of my pet care approach. Playful games of fetch or interactive toys keep dogs physically active, while puzzle feeders stimulate their mental agility. For feline friends, interactive play with toys like feather wands and laser pointers taps into their natural instincts. Outdoor adventures, whether it's a stroll in the park or a hike, provide a change of scenery and sensory stimulation. Ultimately, tailoring activities to each pet's preferences ensures an enjoyable and enriching experience during their time under my care.

Jonathan did an awesome job stopping in daily to make sure my cats were well taken care of while I was out of state. It was a huge relief to get daily communication on how they were doing. Coming home and finding them happy and relaxed was exactly what I wanted.

Our dog Major loved Jonathan. It was obvious that our pet was well cared for and loved during his six day stay recently. The pictures and updates we received were extremely heartwarming. Jonathan is now our #1 choice for boarding our Major.

Jonathan is amazing with my Sherman Shepherd Tala. Super friendly, on time and clearly loves animals. He sends pictures everyday of Tala on her walk. It’s such a relief knowing she’s getting good exercise and attention while I’m at work. Totally would recommend to anyone needing a reliable and caring dog walker.
