About John

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time to read my profile :) I am an environmental consulting professional based in Victoria BC since 2009 now. I'm originally from Calgary and have had all kinds of animals in my house since I can remember.

I have loads of experience around training puppies, post-surgical care of animals, and have been called the cat whisperer before, haha. Beach trips, chasing sticks, and meeting new friends on walks is a great way to spend the day!!

I love walking dogs and hanging with cool cats.

I've been helping friends, and friends- of-friends, with house and pet-sitting for the last few years, so I am offering my services on here if I could be of help to anyone.

I know how stressful it is to try and vacation when you have the worries of being away from your furry family and taking care of the house on your mind.

I am able to dog-walk once or twice a day (around 45 mins per walk unless it's a hike), and perform housesitting services.

My perferred area is within Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay, and Esquimalt.

As I am business professional as well, I also offer some services to cover your own business responsibilities as you are away (deliveries, data input, technical reports, client folllow-ups, etc).

Thanks again and if I can be of any service to you I would love to chat more :)

Take Care,

John S

Well, i've lived with cats and dogs my entire life and a house really just feels empty without them. I'm experienced with post-surgical care for dogs and have a circle of Vet-Tech friends here in town I use as a resource. I have helped out with Vets-4-Pets and the Canadian Animal Assistance Team, two non-profit animal assistance groups.
