Jonathan was amazing with my dog Django. He was very responsive and even provided updates while I was away. Django seemed to be very happy with his time spent with Jonathan, and I could not be more grateful for his help. I would highly recommend his services, and definitely plan to book with him again in the future.

Jonathan was fantastic with my Aussiedoodle, Yenn! He was super communicative throughout the whole stay and sent photos and updates regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. Yenn came home happy and worn out, which is exactly what you want. Will 100% be rebooking. Highly recommend!

I can’t put into words alone how grateful I am for Jonathan. He is so accommodating and caring. I was nervous leaving my fur babies with someone considering we had just moved to a new state. However, it was almost as if they were right at home with him. Jonathan genuinely went above and beyond. He met all of their needs and mine, while taking every extra step one could think of in his level of care. He’s surely one of the best and I do appreciate his services. Bella & Rhys had a blast, we thank you so much. We can’t wait to see you again!

Jonathan has not only the gift of giving dogs amazing care, but also the love, kindness and patience to make them incredibly happy. He looked after my puppy as it it were his own, and my puppy was so comfortable he didn't even want to leave!

Schedule

Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule – it’s built into my lifestyle. With 16 years in grooming, a background in veterinary care, and years of babysitting experience, I’ve learned to balance time while keeping quality at the center of everything I do. I prioritize organization, clear communication, and flexible scheduling to ensure every pet (and family) receives the attention they deserve, without compromise.

Safety, trust & environment

In My Home: I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where pets feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, grooming care, and any special instructions from their owners. Safety and comfort come first, ensuring every pet feels at home while staying with me. In a Client’s Home: I respect the familiar environment that helps pets feel secure. I follow the same level of care—feeding, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and grooming—while keeping their routine consistent. I also maintain the home’s cleanliness and security to give owners peace of mind.

A typical day

Grooming and brushing (upon owners request) , Playing Doggy TV on YouTube or playing pet friendly music, bonding with your pet by having lots of cuddle time.
