About JOHN

Hi let me briefly introduce myself. I am a mature age man on the cusp of retirement. I spent my teenage years growing up on a cattle farm with the usual range of animals including cats, dogs, chickens, horses, pigs, birds and cattle. Later in life we also had various pets in our family including cats, dogs, fish and birds.
My partner and I do not have any pets at the moment but have recently looked after numerous pets for others and have really enjoyed the experience. We both look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come. 
We are both retiring early next year (2023) and will have plenty of spare time. So in between our travels we want to also spend time to love and care of other peoples animals also.
I am a fairly active person so I would ensure your animal gets the love, attention and exercise he/she deserves.
I am available for short term care of your pet/s at my home as well as to come to yours to take your dog for a walk/exercise. I have a fully fenced backyard also.
Im comfortable having cats and small dogs in my house but prefer larger dogs to live outside in the backyard. I have a covered area that is out of the weather that is suitable.

Please contact me if I can help you out.

John was great with our young dog Rex. We had booked a day to go see the sights but the weather was horrible so John suggested we get Rex sat the following day. Great advice and so nice at how accommodating John was to switch days. We received photos of Rex enjoying a walk and when we picked him up he had the best sleep that night it was great. Thanks John
