Animal lover whose days are free!

Pet care experience

I've had multiple dogs and cats ever since I can remember. Small dogs and cats up to bernese and great Pyrenees. Used to do this in my undergrad in the mid 2000s, and now I have even more time during my graduate degree!

Jonathan was fantastic with my very skittish cat. He was patient everyday and adjusted to my cat's ever changing mood. I will definitely ask Jonathan to look after my furbaby again!

Prompt, clean, and compassionate. Great person to watch over a special needs cat.

Jonathon was able to come and watch our cats super last minute. He was very kind, communicative, and helpful and even our cat who doesn’t like people allowed him to pet her, which is huge for her.

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently in an apartment so I cannot dog or cat sit in my home. However, I am more than able to come to your home and walk/ play, clean litter boxes, anything of the sort. I'm very accustomed to all types of dogs and cats and haven't found any that I can't read or get along with yet.

Information Jonathan S. would like to know about your pet

I love big dogs and have had them all my life. Same with cats. If there's any special behavior your animal has or any triggers for aggression or anxiety, lease let me know!

A typical day

I love being outdoors, so walks are always on the itinerary. Some pets aren't really outdoors and would much rather stay indoors for some play or maybe just pets, which I am also for.
