Attentive, adaptable, experienced

Pet care experience

I am a 25 year old nonprofit professional and DC native. I grew up in Woodley Park and graduated from Maret School in 2014, before attending Bates College. There is nothing I love more than spending time with dogs, whether it's my family's dog Lito, my sister's dog Bubba, or any other canine companion. My house is spacious and in a great area for dogs - Meridian Hill park and Rock Creek Park are both within walking distance. I have extensive experience both dog sitting as well as dog walking, including a 5-day-a-week dog walking stint that lasted over two years in high school. I have cared for a variety of breeds, ranging from King Charles Spaniels to Dobermans. A stay at my home will involve lots of outdoor fun, whether it's a trip to the dog park, a walk along Rock Creek Park, or an outing to Meridian Hill Park. My work is fully remote, so your dog will have my undivided attention during his or her entire stay, and I am more than happy to accommodate any special needs that your pup may have.

This was the second time we used John and he was awesome as before. I forgot to mention before that he was very prompt in his replies to our inquiry (within 24 hours for the first contact and then immediate) and very patient with us as we were very nervous about leaving her. Thanks again John:-)

I couldn't speak more highly of John. He was fantastic. We have a 16 week old puppy who we had recently joined the family and unfortunately we already had overseas plans. John came and sat at our house for the time we were away. Dizzy bonded with him immediately and completely enjoyed her time with him. He went over and above what I would have expected, even washing her bed and her when she had a little accident. He was reliable, friendly, and looked after her really well. He fed, played with her, gave her lots of love and attention and sent us updates each day. A really great experience for both us and Dizzy. Thanks John!
