Highlights
Pet care experience
Peace of mind dog care
Loving and caring pet professional and caretaker. This is more than just a hobby. I have worked with animals since I was 17 and have worked as an animal trainer and as a Veterinary Surgical Technician. I am an avid dog lover, and love working with all dogs but have a soft spot for those that need a little extra love and attention, as well as, older dogs and those with medical issues that require specific care and medications. I'm available everyday and most holidays. I'll spend a lot of time playing with them and they'll go on plenty of walks. I have worked in different kennel situations and have cared for all types of pets. I worked at The Seeing Eye in Morristown, Nj where I would care for 40 dogs at any given time. Why I love dog sitting? Animals are my passion and I have been a dog lover my entire life. So much so that I decided to started working with animals at the age of 17, and have worked in many aspects animal industry including breeding, training, veterinarian care, boarding and as groomers assistant. I now consider myself a pet professional and dog sitting is more than just a hobby. When it comes to administering medication Given that I have worked as a Veterinary Surgical Technician I have no problem administering medication and have no problem following specific instructions.

Ratings and reviews
10/10 ; will definitely use Jonathan again! He went out of his way to make my dog feel right at home - which is so important to me. When a sitter treats your dog like their own, there is no better experience. HIGHLY recommend
Jonathan took fantastic care of our Covid pup and Chichi our service dog in training. They were very happy and can tell they had a great time.
Jonathan was great! Marley was very well taken care of and we highly recommend him.
This was my first time having anyone other than family watching Abby, so I was a bit nervous. But Jonathan took such great care of her; he sent updates every day on how she was adjusting and settling in, which really put my mind at ease. I would absolutely book with him again to watch Abby!
Jonathan was great with our senior dog! We got regular updates and he followed all of the special feeding and med instructions that we left with our old lady. Looking forward to the next stay!
Jonathan was wonderful. Our pups loved their walks and I really appreciated his picture updates. They went on 5 different walks over the five days and I really appreciated they had the variety. Thank you!

Schedule
I run my own business and dog sitting is something I do full time with my girlfriend Desirha. We have the time to play with your dog and even take them on long walks. I try to mimic whatever your routine is at home so that your pup can keep his routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is completely fenced in and we never leave the pups unsupervised while out in the yard. My girlfriend Desirha has been dog sitting with me for over 6 years and works from home, so your pup would always have someone with them during their stay.
A typical day
We are active people and enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities. We love to hike and go on long walks, so your dog would enjoy some great outdoor fun hitting some local trails or simply taking a stroll through the neighborhood.
