JOHN “LUKE” NOLEN with Run Pepper Run has been my dog walker for over six years. My dog, Barney is a rescue. I am an older dog owner and found it very difficult to walk him in the mornings and evenings. My husband is handicapped. John enabled us to keep Barney.
He has NEVER missed a day without making sure he provides coverage. He is trustworthy and totally dedicated to our dog and us. He has transported Barney to kennels, the vet, and even dog sat when the family dogs came to visit. During family emergencies John has always stepped in to help us out. He was loyal and devoted throughout COVID and when we had the freeze.
He is wonderful.
If you need any information about his integrity
Please have John give you my phone number as a reference. He is AMAZING.

John “Luke” Nolen has been helping us with our 4 pups for the last couple of years when we travel, sometimes for a couple of days and some other times for a week or even two. He came to our place 4 times daily to feed, walk, and spend quality time with our pups so they wouldn't miss us much. We knew they were in great hands and we could enjoy our vacation time without worrying.
Taking our pups to a boarding place is not an option because two of our pups are shy and can't be approached by other people. Nobody could get close to them except for John. He knows how to approach them so they can feel safe and cared for.
Thank you!

John “Luke” Nolen is the "above and beyond" experienced, calm, and seasoned professional you want for your pet. He is clearly passionate about what he does and thoughtful in his approach. We were referred to John Luke by a trusted colleague and we are so glad to have had the opportunity to work with John Luke for our dog. In working with John Luke for afternoon walks for our pet, I have found him to be exceedingly dependable, markedly empathetic, and incredibly responsive.
Our dog can be shy and somewhat guarded around new people, and John Luke was patient and sensitive as he helped our dog gain confidence. He even went out of his way to provide flexibility in his schedule to arrange a meet and greet with our dog in advance. Within minutes of meeting John Luke and seeing his seasoned personalized approach, I was confident he would take great care of our dog and he has since exceeded all expectations.
As an added bonus, John Luke is an incredible and talented pet photographer: he truly has taken the best photos we have ever had of our dog and we cherish and show off his work to family and friends often who are blown away by his skill set. While I love snapping photos of my dog, I didn't realize the profound difference professional composition, light and framing make in photos until I saw John Luke's portraits of my pup. He has a gift for capturing the personality of the pet, catching "doggy grins" and smiles, and coaxing even our shy rescue dog out of his shell.
In summary, I can't recommend John Luke highly enough as the trustworthy professional in caring for your pet: he is simply fantastic."
