Pet care experience

Caring and responsible dog lover!

I grew up with a Golden Retriever during my childhood and have loved dogs ever since. After I graduated from college I lived with a roommate and took care of their Shiba Inu / Husky mix for up to a week at a time when they traveled for work. I walked, fed, and bathed the dog for almost a year. For the past three years I routinely dog-sit and house-sit for a family and their two dogs - one large and one small. I have loved the experience and grown very comfortable with all aspects of caring for a dog.

Jonathan was great and very accommodating for a short notice weekend stay. Dottie came home chill and happy!

Jonathan took great care of Harlie while we were away! He was excellent with communication, kept us updated throughout the weekend with messages and photos, and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. We really appreciated how attentive and reliable he was. We would absolutely recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

Jonathan is great! Very communicative and easy to schedule with. My dog, Theo, adores him and always tries to stay longer at pick up.

Jonathan is great! Based on the pictures he shared during our pup’s time with him, I’d say our dog agrees too - he always looked so comfortable and happy in Jonathan's space.

Jonathan was friendly and read all our dog's information even before our meet-and-greet, but unfortunately didn’t adhere to the dog-walking schedule we requested.

Jonathan is an awesome Rover. Great communication, easy to work with, and experienced with leash reactive dogs like mine is. I felt so comfortable with Lexi in his care and highly recommend him if you’re looking for a Rover.

I am very trustworthy and reliable and will follow any directions you have for caring for your dog in my apartment or your home. I have a car and am able to travel for dog-sitting and house-sitting.

I like to go for multiple daily walks and happy to take them to the park or to hang out in a public dog-friendly space if they are well trained for it!
