I'll Run with Your Dog!
Pet care experience
There’s just nothing I love more than being in the company of a loving pup. That’s why I became a dog sitter! I just enjoy spending time and being active with them whenever I can, so I decided to make it my mission to bring pups as much happiness as possible. I’ve always been very comfortable around dogs and enjoy their company, and every new pup is a wonderful learning opportunity. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Ever since I was a kid, my family always had at least one pooch with us, so I have a lifetime of experience working with them. I have also been a dog owner for 10+ years! My current dog Wrigley is very active himself, and may just be the friendliest pup in the whole world. He loves to walk, play fetch (for hours on end) and cuddle. I have never volunteered with dogs before, but I have dog sat privately prior to joining up with Rover. I loved every second of it and got to take care of some really amazing dogs. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. My number one goal is the complete satisfaction of both my canine and human clients, and I believe that a big part of that success comes from good communication. I know that it can be difficult to be away from your pup, so I’m here to make that time as easy as possible. I will always provide tons of updates with accompanying pictures, so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together. Likewise, I’m always available for any questions or concerns in case they arise. I currently have very flexible availability, so I’m also happy to work around unorthodox schedules. Whatever I can do to go above and beyond is my duty!
Reviews
Jonathan did an outstanding job taking care of my animals while we were away. He gave frequent status reports and photos. I will definitely use him again!
Johnathon was excellent with my cat. He was always willing to provide updates to her well being. Thanks again Jonathon
Jonathan was great with my temperamental lab! He sent wonderful updates while checking in on my dog while I was gone for a day. When I need a sitter or walker in the future, he will be at the top of my list!
Jonathan is an EXCELLENT sitter! He watched our 4 dogs in our home while we were out of the country. One of our dogs is very timid and he did his best to make her feel comfortable. I am a nervous mom when away from "the kids" and he sent photos every day showing all 4 happy dogs. I forgot to alert him to a wound on one dog's paw and he sent a photo as soon as he arrived. I had to apologize for not mentioned it but I was so pleased that he was conscientious and made sure I was aware of it. I would definitely hire Jonathan again. Thanks, Jonathan!

A typical day
I am a very active person, so your pup will be happy as a clam if they like getting lots of exercise. I'm willing to run with in addition to walking dogs, so bring on the runners of the dog world! There are tons of great places to head to in my area, including some metro parks nearby. There are always some happy canine companions around there, so meeting some new friends will never be off the menu. My neighborhood features some wonderful outdoor spaces if we’d like to stay local, so we’ve got tons of options for fun!
