“We’ve used Jonathan a few times now to walk our older dog, Archer, when we’ve been away. Not only is he prompt, reliable and trustworthy, it’s clear he truly cares. We had some difficulty finding someone to walk Archer because he requires extra care and assistance having a BM. Jonathan was very patient as I trained and instructed him. Now, we have the utmost trust and peace of mind that Archer will be well cared for when we’re away or not able to. If I could give him 10 stars I would.”
About: I have grown up around animals, taking care of two dogs since I was a kid. I have watched and walked my neighbors and family friends dogs for years, letting me develop my pet care skills. My willingness to go above and beyond allows me to give complete and amazing care for your animals! I am always taking care of animals at home. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for multiple dogs multiple times a week. My attentiveness and focus when watching pets allows for complete care and safety. I ensure pets are well fed, use the bathroom when they need to, and give them the attention they crave.
“Jeanne is the best! Our 60 lb pup can be a little frustrating on walks because he bites his leash but Jeanna is a champ and is able to get him to stop and have a good walk with him.”

About: Hi! I'm Eric, and I've been a dog lover all my life, I have experience helping my pets give birth to their offspring and feeding them with formulated milk at their earliest stage, and taking care of them to their senior years. I own two Shih Tzus named Piccolo and Didith. I often go to Van Saun Dog Park to give my own pets and other pet guests some exercise and feel the nature. My utmost priority is the SAFETY and COMFORT of my pet guests. Dog Boarding is overnight or 24hr. Stay. Doggy Day Care drop-offs are around 7-9 am, and pick-ups are around 4-6 pm. I am working online in the comfort of my home so they will not be alone and I will have plenty of time to play with your pups. Whenever I feed my pet guests, I separate them with baby fences, and during their playtime, I watch them closely to avoid any untoward incident.
