Jonathan was wonderful with Winston! He is so knowledgeable and helped regulate my 4 month old puppy. You could from my dogs body language that he was happy and comfortable. We are looking forward to using Jonathan again in the future!

Jonathan was absolutely wonderful. Communication was excellent from booking and throughout the stay with frequent updates on how everything was going. You can tell Jonathan truly cares and makes sure that even first time stays are made comfortable. Thank you for such great care. We highly recommend Jonathan!

Jonathan is truly the best dog sitter I’ve ever had for Ranger. I had to leave town unexpectedly, and he went above and beyond in every way. He followed Ranger’s schedule perfectly while adding thoughtful touches that kept him happy, active, and loved the entire time. I had complete peace of mind knowing Ranger was in such great hands. What really impressed me is that Jonathan is amazing with large dogs—Ranger used to pull on walks, and now he’s noticeably better. It felt like I had a dog sitter and a trainer in one. This experience was on a completely different level than any pet sitter I’ve used before. I won’t leave town again without checking Jonathan’s availability first. If I could give more than 10 stars, I would!

Jonathan was fantastic! He loved on our babies and made us feel secure in knowing they were taken care of. He went the extra mile in caring for them and kept everything tidy while staying in our home. Communication was several times with pictures while we were away. You won’t regret asking him to take care of your precious pets!

A typical day

Your sweet dogs will have an absolute blast with me! I will get their minds and bodies moving, so that they’re nice and relaxed the rest of the time you’re gone. We’ll play with toys, go on walks, and of course treatos for behaving and listening.
