Lower Gaston Happy Dog Rover

Pet care experience

After a number of years I am dogsitting again! I am back at home all day, but I am no longer in Houston, now in the Lakewood area of Dallas I have a very quiet place in a condo development where there is no street traffic, great trees, nice windows, good areas to walk, exercise pups. Dogs stay in where cozy and warm or when it is hot in where the ac is good. I had great dogs most of my life large and small. Pets will get to hang out inside, go for nice walks in this quiet, safe development. There is a large fenced area of flat grass where I can throw a ball, frisbe or whatever your dog likes to play with.

We felt very confident leaving our dog Zoey with Jonathan! He provided a loving and safe place for her to stay. He even got her some new toys which was very kind.

Summit had a great time with Jon! Jon was kind enough to send pictures and updates a couple times a day. We picked him up and he looked happy and well cared for.

Jonathan was an excellent pet-sitter for our two dachshunds, Duncan and Dexter. He took the time to have us over for a meet-and-greet prior to sitting them for a weekend, which was great not just for the dogs but also for their anxious owners! Jon was very relaxed and took his time with introducing himself to the dogs. It was immediately clear to us that he's a thoughtful and caring person with a real compassion for our 4-legged family members. Both dogs can sometimes balk when approached by strangers, but this wasn't the case with Jon. He got some good scratches in fairly quickly after they arrived and then let them wander as they sniffed the entirety of his house. Jon's place was open, sunny, and included a great rear area where the dogs could patrol and get some fresh air without being in danger of escaping. Jon listened to our concerns regarding a gap under the front fence and worked with us to barricade off that area for their safety. He also took note of their somewhat eccentric personalities and behaviors, their typical feeding and walking schedule, and their penchant for snoozing in the sun. Jon worked with us to choose the best pick-up and drop-off schedule for all involved, and he sent regular text updates and pictures during the weekend. The dogs looked like they settled into his home like it was their personal vacation resort. We were really pleased with their care and look forward to booking Jon again for future trips out of town. Highly recommended!

Information Jonathan P. would like to know about your pet

Smaller dogs welcome to get up in bed and watch tv if they like and usually it takes little time for the dogs to get comfortable in the space. There is no need to worry that they will be alone too long. Most of my trips are short, to the grocery or to pickup some food or grab a bite to eat.

A typical day

I start the day with coffee, take your pup on the morning walk. The afternoon walk, I can throw balls and sticks, there are nearby walking trails also available, if longer walks are needed. Lunchtime if pup needs out again, lunch usually here... oops already time for dinner, walk a bit... watch some evening / night television or music. Start it all over the next day...
