I would be able to care for your pets however you need me to. I’m available for everything from drop-in visits while you’re at work, to live-in situations while you’re on vacation. I can comprehend and follow instructions very well. I have years of experience in caring for cats and dogs in all stages of life and understand that every animals needs are different.

Information Jonathan S. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know any relevant information you could provide. Diet, temperament, special physical needs, or anything I should be on the lookout for would be great to know.

A typical day

Every dog is different. Some want to go on long walks on hiking trails, some just want to chase the ball, others are happy lounging around the house with the occasional trip to the back yard. I’m happy to accommodate the full spectrum of activities your pet could need.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals my whole life. Growing up, I was fascinated with them. My family has always kept pets but my fantasy was always to get a job at the zoo where I could look after animals from all over the world. My zoo dream never came true but that’s good news because now I have a lot more time to come and help take care of your pets!

When your power goes out for three days while you're away and your housesitter acts like it's NBD you know you have a good one. My dog loved him within 30 seconds, and she usually takes at least a few minutes to warm up to a person. My braver cat was giving him the kinds of love bites he normally reserves for me, and the less intrepid one loved the snuggles. My home was spotless when I returned. I had updates and communication daily. If you are lucky enough to be able to have Jonathan housesit for you, you can rest assured you are in the best possible hands.

Jonathan was an excellent dog/housesitter for my two boys! Good communication, and I came home to happy dogs and a tidy house. I will definitely ask him to help us again!

Jonathan is a wonderful pet sitter with big golden retriever energy. When he watched my bearded dragon named Nebula, he asked all the right questions for her care. Jonathan was excited to work with all of my instructions even the handling of the different bugs to feed her. While I was away on a trip, he sent me pictures of Nebula as well as gave me updates on how she was eating and her bowel movements. I would definitely recommend him.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
