empathetic animal whisperer
Pet care experience
I love animals, and animals love me. I have two adopted animals with minds of their own! Rescues take more work, and my pets and I worked through it together. I have 16 years of pet ownership experience, 2.5 of that in a mixed pet (dog and cat) household. I have experience managing dogs that are less than perfectly behaved. I am particularly good at identifying when animals are signalling a need. My own dog loves to eat things, regardless of what they are. Walking your dog, I would be very attentive to what your dog is doing with its nose! I love to play with animals. My cat relishes in scampering around and chasing jingly balls and play with string. I will happily play with your scamper-butts, just like I do my own! I also have 3ish years of experience house-sitting for a family friend, whose cat loved to roam the neighborhood and pretend to be the neighbors cat! That cat's dog buddy was also very shy, but over time, came to trust me readily. All told, I'm very empathetic with animals, and I like getting to know them, paying attention to them, reading their signals and needs, and making sure their needs are met!
Reviews
Johanna has provided very thoughtful, TLC for our dogs (and cat) - multiple times. She's a natural w/ animals, so clearly enjoying them - and them, her. We felt 100% confident leaving Johanna in charge of our 4 legged family members. She communicated & connected super well w/ them - and w/ us. Can't say enough good about Johanna!

Johanna has been in love with dogs, ever since I can remember. In fact, she attracts dogs like a magnet. One time she was playing Ultimate Frisbee on a college campus and a dog, unknown to her, ran way across the field to meet Johanna. Johanna is a very disciplined, but loving dog owner. I believe her structured, kind approach puts dogs at ease.
