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 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+++++

Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!
