Services

In-Home Pet Care

We provide professional in-home pet care as an affordable, high-quality alternative to kenneling for dogs and cats. This service is designed for pet owners who are on vacation or away from home for extended periods, ensuring animals remain in a familiar environment. Clients benefit from reduced stress for their pets, maintained daily routines, and added home security through daily property checks.

Dog Walking

We offer daily dog walking services for pets whose owners are at work or otherwise occupied throughout the day. Our walks are integrated into a 30-minute visit that maintains the animal's normal exercise and feeding schedule. This service ensures dogs receive consistent physical activity and companionship, leading to happier, healthier pets when their owners return home.

Cat Sitting

We deliver dedicated in-home cat sitting services focused on feline-specific care needs. During each visit, we feed the cats, clean the litter box, and provide companionship to keep them engaged and comfortable. This service allows cats to stay in their familiar environment, avoiding the stress and potential illness associated with boarding facilities.

Vacation Pet Sitting

We provide comprehensive pet sitting services for clients going on vacation, ensuring continuous care for their dogs and cats. Our visits include feeding, walking, medication administration, and optional mail and plant care. Pet owners enjoy complete peace of mind knowing their animals and home are attended to by a bonded and insured professional.

Home Security Checks

We include daily home security checks as a standard component of our pet care visits. During each stop, we collect the mail, water plants, and monitor the property for any irregularities. This added layer of service provides homeowners with valuable peace of mind while they are away from their residence.

John has been dog walking for over 20 years and I've used his services for 2 dogs during that time. He's conscientious, reliable, and really loves dogs.

John is a superb dog walker/pet sitter. We have used John for over 10 years, and he has never missed a day. If he ever needs time off, his backup team is equally reliable and a pleasure. John's Pet Care is a thoroughly professional operation. He has an experience base that will put your mind at ease. Your pet is in good hands with John's Pet Care!

John is the perfect pet caretaker. He has been taking care of our dog for over 10 years. He is warm, caring, loving and attentive to our dog. If John feels as though our dog is not feeling well or just not up to par, he calls us immediately to inform us of his concern(s). We are very grateful for his sincere considerations. He is dependable, responsible and trustworthy. I would recommend John to anyone who loves and cares for their pet.

I've known John for many years. He has always been a dog owner and he treats all the dogs he walks as if they were his own. In short he gets to know them and interact with them as friends. He is also extremely dedicated: what they say about the postman going out no matter the weather applies to John. Finally, he's been a dog walker for over 20 years now, so you won't find a more experienced person.
