About Jon

Hey! I'm an experienced pet owner with a veritable menagerie of critters under my personal care and an extensive history of pet sitting for friends. I grew up on a cattle farm surrounded by hunting dogs and guardian breeds. As such, I am not averse to handling large dogs or even livestock. I am also well versed in basic and specialized training. I'm a proud dog and cat rescue dad, which has taught me to be gentle and patient with timid or easily spooked animals. Along with my canine and feline floofs I keep freshwater aquariums and a variety of herps. I even have a history of rehabilitating wildlife for surprisingly long periods while waiting for licensed pros to have openings. Practically the only pets I have not had experience caring for are saltwater fish and large parrot species.
