Pet care experience

I love dogs and THEY love me!

I have a medium sized fenced in back yard that is great for the dogs to run and play. I do not mind taking a run with your dog or even going to the dog park. I am in excellent health and physical shape, so no dog scares me. I have owned adult dogs from as little as 10 pounds to as many as 110 pounds. As a child, I raised nearly 400 puppies with my dad over a 10-year period. In addition to raising dogs, I have rescued several large to small pups. I can love a pure bread and a mixed dog better than anyone can without being bias. They are all God’s creation and I want to host them and make them feel at home while they are away from your home. Through my experiences with dogs, I learned how to train and take care of them very well. I love hosting dogs, but have begun walking and doing more drop in visits so please message me for all your dog needs! I am a high school teacher. My hours are set with work, but I have great pet friendly trusted friends who often will jump in to help me with accommodations to meet my client and pets needs. I have not had a dog injured or escape from my care. I am very big on safety. I want the dogs to play together with others, but they need that proper introduction and time to ensure all goes smoothly. I also never leave them in the backyard if I leave the house.

Jonathan was great with our puppy. He loves animals and took very good care of our Australian shepherd. Would recommend him.

Jonathan was very accommodating for a last minute request. This was our first experience with Rover and would recommend to anyone needing help with finding care for their pet. Jonathan had great communication and would use him in the future.

Absolutely wonderful. He was able to watch my dog at the very last minute and was so accommodating, reliable, and easy to work with. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands and well cared for. I’m so grateful he was able to help us out on such short notice. I would definitely recommend him and will absolutely use him again.

Jonathan was so accommodating for Bonnie my female pit/terrier mix who is 6 years old. She is a little timid and gets nervous with loud noises and Jonathan was able to provide a safe and calm environment for my Bonnie for overnight. Great hospitality and will take care of your dogs safety ❤️

A typical day

Typically if the weather is nice I let the dogs enjoy the backyard as much as they want to. Dogs that need an additional walk or run can have one, but most get their energy out if I have other dogs boarding. We enjoy cuddles in my house from the floor, to the couch, and even my bed.

I can accommodate basically any special needs requests. Just ask and I have probably done it, or can do it. I’m always willing to learn.
