WORK FROM HOME! LUV DOGS!

My rates are dependent on how much work is required. Some dogs require a lot, some do not. My rates on site currently reflect the latter but are subject to change after I meet your dog. I will probably not be your cheapest option- unless you have the chillest dog in Nashville. However, I will provide the most value for your dollar. Let’s set up a meet and greet to find out! .::-ABOUT ME-::. - I am (was) a musician (til Covid) - I have a full-time remote position - I love dogs and during my breaks, I love going on walks to clear my mind. - When I'm not working, I'm either chilling watching a movie or I stay active and go on long walks. - I've had a lot of private clients prior to Rover - I was good at this, and people keep asking me to train or watch for their pets. - I happen to have the time for this, I genuinely love dogs, and I happen to be good at understanding & anticipating their needs & personality - Throughout the years, I have done a lot of reading and research on how to train dogs, so I feel very comfortable with all dogs. I currently work remotely, I go on walks around the park nearby to clear my mind & take a break from the screens. I take my dog out regularly. I always have them leashes-it takes a good while to establish a bond with the pet before leaving them off leash. I walk, play, feed, and give them love- so they know they are being cared for and establish a bond.

Johanan was great! It gives us peace of mind knowing that, when we have to leave town, she can be romping with her buddy, Nipsy! Having a dog friend to play with makes her separation anxiety disappear! Johanan sent photos and videos the whole time. Highly recommend! Thanks Johanan!

Johanan is wonderful. He is knowledgable, responsive, attentive, and kind. Lola seems to have had a great time staying with him. Johanan sent lots of pictures and videos with his updates. We were very pleased with the way he incorporated Lola into his home and routine. Indeed, she seems to be much more responsive to commands and structure upon returning home than she was when we dropped her off. We will definitely try to book with him again.

Johanan did such an amazing job with our dog! We got photos everyday and he was very accessible. This was my first time leaving our dog through Rover and it was such a great experience! 10/10 recommend!

Johanan was a fantastic sitter for my pup, sending many photos and videos. Also his dog Nipsey was a delightful companion. I cannot recommend Johanan enough!

Johanan took care of Nuffle while we were on a long vacation. He sent pictures of Nuffle having great time playing. I recommend Johanan.

Schedule

My dog sleeps or plays with her toys while I work. I take frequent break & engage with her to keep her entertained and engaged with me. She loves playing fetch so we will play fetch in the backyard.

Safety, trust & environment

I will visit dog parks or empty fenced fields to allow them to play outside while I take my breaks. I always keep them on leashes and am always aware of the surroundings to ensure there isn’t anything they will be eating or sniffing that isn’t pet safe. I always watch what they sniff and try to eat. My rates are dependent on how much work is required. Some dogs require a lot, some do not.
