Pet care experience

Calm, Attentive Care, & Happy Walks

I have more than 20 years of experience caring for cats and 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes. I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs, including shy, skittish, and anxious dogs that need patience and time to feel comfortable. I am also a meditation teacher. That background has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to bring a calm presence to new situations. I take time to notice each pet’s behavior, respect their boundaries, and let trust develop at their pace. I love walking and spending time outdoors. I am happy to provide relaxed neighborhood walks or more active outings based on your dog’s energy level and needs. With your approval, I am also open to taking suitable dogs for outings at Catalina State Park. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for dogs and cats. I follow each pet’s established routine and pay close attention to their comfort and individual preferences. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and settled while you are away. I am comfortable handling feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, and detailed written instructions. I also respect the privacy and cleanliness of every home I enter. Communication matters to me. I love taking photos and will provide regular updates so you know how your pets are doing. I welcome a meet and greet before the first booking so we can review their routine, needs, and personality.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend 5 stars ! Jonathan took wonderful care of my cat while I was away at a retreat. He made sure she had food and fresh water, played with her, and even bought her new toys. He sent me pictures and updates throughout my trip, which gave me peace of mind. When I got home, her litter box was spotless, and my kitty was happy and healthy. He really thought of every detail. I highly recommend Jonathan!

Jon took good care of my dog and cat while I was traveling on business. He would walk the dog and spend time with both animals.

Schedule

My schedule offers flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I often work remotely, which allows me to spend substantial time with pets during house-sitting stays. On some days, I may need to leave for short periods for work or appointments. I will always discuss my schedule with you before booking so we can make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are a good fit.
