“I wish I could leave 12/10 stars for Jon! I have a reactive nervous dog, and Jon was able to make her feel calm and safe during our meet and greet. He was nothing but patient, kind, and completely understanding of my dog's needs. At the end of their walks, Jon always leaves super detailed Rover Cards with so many photos which I love! My dog and I could not have asked for a better dog walker. He is awesome and flexible with timing if needed, and is super communicative which RULES. I highly recommend Jon he is the absolute best!!!! Thanks Jon!!!!”

About: Dog owner to one 7YO male German Shepherd lab mix and one 1YO female Staffordshire Bull terrier mix! These two keep me on my toes I work a full-time remote job, so I am free to tend to my dogs during the day! We go on plenty of looooong walks so mama can stretch her legs too! I am happy to assist with those who need a sitter for their precious pups during your weddings as well! I have a large condo with a back den that we can close off (it’s filled with plants and cozy chairs as a zen zone). I also have plenty of dog toys and a spare bed if necessary! My two dogs are very friendly and will refuse to stop playing!
