Pet care experience
Making time away feel like a little retreat 🐶
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a lovable family dog that quickly became my best friend. Since then, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and even former bosses, whenever someone needs a reliable, caring hand, I’m there. These days, your dog will be looked after by both me and my partner Caleb, which means double the affection, playtime, and attention! It’s important your dog is comfortable with men too. I know that leaving your dog with someone new can feel stressful (for both you and them). My mission is to make their time away feel like a retreat: full of love, calm, fun, and plenty of one-on-one care. Whether that’s long walks in nature, riverside runs or just lazy cuddle time at home, I tailor each day to your dog’s mood and needs. I’m a very active person who loves the outdoors, so if your dog enjoys exercise and adventure, they’ll be right at home with me. But I also know when to slow things down and just be a calm, reassuring presence. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes, but since I currently live in a flat, I’m best suited to care for small to medium-sized dogs. Most of my experience is with cockapoos and doodle breeds, but I’m open to any dog, as long as we’re the right fit for each other. I also understand how important structure and routine are. I always respect your training style and maintain consistency, so your dog feels safe, secure, and happy. With me (and Caleb), your pup will be in loving, capable hands, ,and hopefully feel like they’ve had a little holiday of their own while you’ve been away.

Ratings and reviews
I had a wonderful experience with Johanna. She was so thoughtful and came by a few days beforehand to meet my puppy, which really put me at ease. During her time with my pup, Johanna very kindly sent pic updates, and clearly is a natural with dogs. I came home to a happy puppy and couldn’t be more grateful. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter 🐶
Johanna is great. She was able to help us last minute and sent us updates throughout the day. Our little cockapoo is high energy and this didn’t seem to phase her including on the long walk they did in the morning. We will without a doubt a doubt contact Johanna again. Thanks Johanna!
Johanna did a wonderful job looking after Elmo for us at late notice. Super friendly and clearly loved our dog! Would recommend
Polite, friendly and very accommodating. Very grateful for Johanna be patient with our fairly anxious Labrador. He looks like he had a great time - highly recommend Johanna as a sitter. Best, Amy and Sam
Johanna is a caring, organised and very responsible dog lover what more do you need! She's always the first person my two cockerpoos run up to when they see her. She'd be our first call to look after them when they need to find a sleepover.
Johanna was amazing with my dog Bruce sometimes it can take him a while to get used to new people but he instantly fell in love with her Loved the fact that I got regular updates that made me laugh and put me at ease I think he is secretly hoping I go away again soon just so he can hang out with her Highly recommended

Schedule
I’m a marketing professional working full-time, primarily from home, but with occasional days in our London office. With enough notice I can look after your dog during weekdays or weekends.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in an apartment with a fenced balcony. I’m also a 2 min walk away from a big park where I’d happily take your dog for regular walkies
A typical day
I’m an active person who loves spending time outdoors, whether that’s long walks through green spaces, strolls along the Thames or even a run of that’s what your dog enjoys! That said, I know every dog is different so I’m happy to adapt to their mood and energy level, from playful adventures to cosy cuddles at home.
