Peace of mind dog care
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Marley loves staying with Jonathan. Thank you!
We have a very active dog and when we got him back he was actually tired! We can tell he really took care of our dog whose energy level is on 100 all the time. Jonathan was also helpful in accommodating us as we had to drop off our dog a lot earlier than we had planned. It seems like Drake really enjoyed his time with him and we are glad we can trust him with our dog. Thank you for taking care of Drake, we will definitely book with you again!
Great stay with Jonathan! Thank you
Was able to book last minute and my pup came home happy!

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.

Information Jonathan R. would like to know about your pet
A few things I would like to know before sitting for any dog is any special instructions and if they are or are not dog friendly. I sometimes watch more than one dog at a time but can accommodate for those pups who prefer being the only ones, I have no breed preference.
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.

Availability
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.
