About John
Trusted and Experienced Dog Sitter – Caring for Your Dog Like Family 🐾
Hi, I’m John, a reliable and caring dog sitter who truly enjoys spending time with dogs of all personalities and sizes. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy who will look after your dog with patience, attention, and genuine care while you are away. Dogs are not just pets – they are family – and I treat every dog as if they were my own.
I have strong hands-on experience caring for several wonderful dogs with different temperaments and needs. I regularly look after Moose, a beautiful chocolate Labrador who is full of energy and loves attention. Spending time with Moose has given me great experience handling larger, active dogs that need exercise, play, and companionship. I enjoy taking him for walks, keeping him engaged, and making sure he feels comfortable and relaxed while his owners are away.
I also have my own Springer Spaniel named Charlie, who has taught me a lot about consistency, routine, and positive interaction. Springer Spaniels are intelligent and energetic dogs, so I understand the importance of mental stimulation, regular exercise, and keeping dogs happy through play and attention. Caring for Charlie daily has helped me build patience, awareness of dog behaviour, and a strong understanding of how to keep dogs comfortable in their environment.
Another lovely dog I have cared for is Tova, a friendly Staffy who enjoys human company and affection. Looking after Tova has given me experience with strong, loyal breeds that thrive on trust and companionship. I always ensure dogs feel secure, calm, and well cared for, especially when their owners are away.
Through my experience, I have become confident with:
• Walking energetic dogs safely
• Feeding routines and special dietary requirements
• Providing companionship and reducing separation stress
• Understanding different dog personalities and behaviour
• Keeping dogs active, happy, and comfortable
• Maintaining consistency with the owner's instructions
• Providing updates so owners feel reassured
I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I understand that each dog has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.
Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I will make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe and caring hands.
I am happy to follow any specific instructions and keep you updated while you are away.
Feel free to contact me anytime – I would love to meet you and your dog. 🐶
