Safety, trust & environment

Simply put, I treat them like they're in my own home. I want to treat my clients' pets the way their parents want them to be treated. I know that if I want people to treat my cat with care, I would do the same with any pet I work with.

Information Jonathan R. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know with new pets how they deal with new people. Helps me understand their personality and how they will respond to me.

A typical day

With my cat I love setting treats up for her and watching her hunt. I have a lot of fun using her mouse on a stick and would love to do that with other cats. With dogs I love doing tug of war with them, it’s one of my favorite games to play with them.

Pet care experience

I have been around pets all my life, from dogs to cats. It is a great experience being a new cat dad, and it would mean a lot to me to be able to help others.
