Safety, trust & environment

For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.

Information Jonathan L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has any types of special needs, meaning if they eat specialty foods treats/ if they need any type of medicine or how do you administer it to keep them calm. Do not want to have them stress out.

A typical day

Like to go for hikes. Go for walks. Play fetch frisbee toss all the usual things that dogs like to do. Only time I will let them off a leash is if we're at a dog park. Other than that there will constantly be on the leash with me so that way I don't have to worry about them running off and that gives you peace of mind.

Jonathan was communicative and proactive over the course of the week we were away. He was very attuned to our dog’s needs, including taking extra time and thought to prepare her special food when her appetite was low. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We are grateful for his care and consideration!

Jonathan took fantastic care of both our dog, Winston, and our house! I would highly recommend him as a pet/house sitter. He took Winston on very long walks, sent daily photos and updates, and kept us informed on Winston's well-being during our absence. We knew Winston was well cared for, and therefore we had no concerns while we were away. Jonathan gave us peace of mind that our "baby" was just fine.

JONATHAN IS THE GREATEST. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him for all your pet care needs. I had to leave town to deal with a very difficult situation and Jonathan did an amazing job ensuring that I had nothing to worry about back home with my cat while I was away. If Rover has an MVP, it’s Jonathan L.

Jonathan is honestly the greatest petsitter I have ever had the pleasure of hiring to care for my cat. He has gone over and beyond the call of duty during an incredibly stressful time for me as I am out of town handling a family emergency. I couldn’t be more blessed to have my cat in such great care, and I cannot recommend him enough. Jonathan is the greatest, pet-sitting MVP, A+++++
