Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Jonathan. I was born and raised in SoCal alongside my two furry family members: Gilliam, a playfully clever, three-legged German Shepherd mix and Kafka, gentle giant Great Dane/Doberman mix. When I wasn’t caring for my own dogs, I would often help my elderly neighbors with their pet-care needs. With me your dog will receive private attention tailored to their needs. From lounging on the couch, sunbathing on the balcony, playtime in the patio, and hikes at Runyon Canyon, your dog will enjoy a comfortable and safe stay! My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular walks/potty breaks and plenty of playtime throughout the day. Some of my current repeat clients include a playfully energetic black lab mix, a mellow, senior golden retriever, and a cuddly cocker-spaniel. Over the last 6 years, I've also volunteered walking dogs at a local shelter. Having cared for many dogs – big, small, young, and old - I know to be attentive to their individual needs and personalities. Whether it's providing medication or regular exercise, I can assure you that your loved one will be in great hands. I can’t wait to meet and provide a quality Rover experience for your four-legged pals!
Reviews
We love Jonathan! He takes such a good care for my baby Blinn.
Jonathan is our favorite and most trusted Dog walker/pet sitter. I always know our puppy is in good hands with him. He sends the most thorough updates and also takes the best pictures. I am very grateful we found Jonathan!
Jonathan is the best. We instantly felt comfortable with him when we did our meet and greet. On his first visit with our little puppy he was great. He has a great attention to detail and followed instructions that we left very well. He was also very quick to respond. He sent the most thorough report on his visit and lots of pictures and videos. Our puppy sure looked like she had a lot of fun playing with Jonathan! We will definitely be using Jonathan again and would definitely recommend him to others!
Jonathan is an outstanding dog sitter, remarkably professional, with a wonderful attitude toward people and pets. He obviously adores dogs, but he also is very attuned to their psychology -- creating a "comfortable" space for a dog is about much more than a soft bed and a few toys, and Jonathan quickly knew how to read my dog and the other furry friend staying for the weekend and how to meet/balance both their needs. He understood and remembered all the little notes from our meet & greet throughout my dog's stay, and it was easy to trust that my dog was getting excellent care from Jonathan. I could not recommend him more highly!

Information Jonathan S. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting dogs, it's important for me to know whether they're spayed/neutered, are on active flea treatment, and up to date on vaccinations. Some other information that's good to know is whether they're good around other dogs & people, what (if any) triggers they have for aggression, and any specific behaviors to keep a close eye on (for example, sneaky scavenging behaviors). This will allow me to ensure your pet enjoys a happy and safe stay! I am happy to sit any breed, big and small, young and old - I love 'em all! I have experience with all kinds of breeds from tiny Yorkies to huge Great Danes. I'm flexible working with puppies who need to burn that extra energy and senior dogs who need extra love and careful attention.
A typical day
I live in Hollywood in a spacious two-story apartment with a fenced-in patio and walking distance from Runyon Canyon! Between lounging on the couch, playing & sunbathing in the patio, and going on hikes at Runyon, there is plenty for your pup to enjoy during their stay. I have a very flexible schedule, so your dog will get plenty of love & attention and regular walks throughout the day. I additionally only host up to 2 medium or 3 small dogs at the same time and often accommodate private stays for those pups who prefer not to be around other dogs, so you can be sure they’ll get the individualized attention they need. While you’re away, I’ll send photo & videos as well as a detailed report each day of our activities together.
