John H.

We love John! He's been working with us taking our 6 month old lab mix out M-F while we're at work! He's been great with Koda and best of all, patient with us! It's been a long time since we've had a 6 month old and he's been available to answer our questions and concerns. In fact, he even came by to meet Koda the day we brought him home from the SPCA. I highly recommend John, he's professional, caring and patient. You can tell immediately your dog will be fine with John!

What an exceptional service! John has been warm, professional, knowledgeable, and a perfect fit for our family. He is our regular dog exerciser Monday-Friday for our precious one year old lab-mix, Daisy. We have received nothing but excellent communication and service from the start. Daisy instantly connected with him and is always relaxed and in good spirits when we get home. We have great peace of mind knowing that we have someone trustworthy and caring to take care of our girl during the day -- we can't imagine what we'd do without John!

If you are looking for someone to care for, exercise and/or socialize your dog(s) - John is your guy! I have two 4 year old (and super cute) Boston Terriers, Hank and Murphy who absolutely adore him! John has been walking and exercising Hank and Murphy since early January. I live in the North Waterfront but work on the peninsula and sometimes have long work days. I was in need of someone to come to my house mid-day and let Hank and Murphy out for a bio break and to stretch their legs. John does so much more then that! It is not uncommon for John to drive them to Crissy field or other open areas where they can run around a bit, get some fresh air and meet other dogs (under his close supervision and professional judgement based on all the little (or big?!) dog personalities involved!). They really do get a nice long mid day break that makes me feel OK about being gone so long on the weekdays. I have come to realize that John really has got to know my two dogs specific personalities - he regularly will tell me things about their outings or ask me questions about one of them that make me feel like he cares and has got to know them over the past few months. Two more points...Firstly, if needed John will overnight pet sit! This is huge for me as I do have a fair bit of work travel. I usually try to drive them to a family member where they can live for a few days/week but in a spot, John has stayed over on 3 different occasions over the past few months. Secondly (and as evidenced by the first point!), I totally trust John with in/out access to my apartment. Bottom line, if you are looking for a professional, pet-loving and NORMAL guy to help you out with your furry friends, I totally recommend John.

I contacted John to possibly help us out with our new puppy, who will be too young to accompany our family on vacation. He responded quickly, professionally and I did not feel that his rates were unreasonable. While I have not worked with him yet, I feel that he would be someone I would call if we needed help in the future, not only as someone to help walk and take care of him, but also in continuing the training of our newest family member.

John is absolutely fabulous - he currently walks our 6 year old vizsla three times a week and our dog always comes home tired and happy after a LONG hike. I wanted to find a dog walker who would really be able to exercise our dog (instead of just taking them by leash around the block for 30 mins.) and John definitely is up to the task. John is a kind, easy going man who works with your schedule and will take great care of your dog. We are so happy to have found John - and he is definitely trust worthy. Highly recommended!!
