Availability
I work regular daytime hours downtown in DC, so for pets that are accustomed to their humans working from the office, I can keep their routine consistent. This includes meal and medication timing, timing and frequency of potty breaks, longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise, and helping to maintain house training in progress.

About Johanna B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed on furniture in my home, but I'm also happy to crate dogs if you prefer and enforce any no-furniture rules you may have at home and want to keep consistent. I live in a spacious 1-bedroom apartment close to Rock Creek Park, great for longer walks. The neighborhood between my building and Rock Creek Park is quiet with not much traffic.

Information Johanna B. would like to know about your pet
Before the start of the booking, please share any special information that would be helpful to know about your pet. For example, your pet may have a special (maybe adorable!) way of communicating with humans to ask to go outside. Please also let me know if you've trained your pet using any commands other than the standard 'sit,' 'down' or 'lay down,' and 'place.'
A typical day
I'm able to adapt a daily routine to your pet's needs, whether they need extra exercise or interactive playtime, are a cuddly side-kick, or prefer to relax or play alone.

Devoted pet parent and longtime pro
Pet care experience
Words can't express how much I've loved being a pet parent and loved caring for others' pets. I've had the joy of raising my 18-year-old cat from kittenhood; raising my bulldog, who I miss dearly, from puppyhood; and taking in our alley cat to give her a safe and warm last 2 years of life. I grew up with pets (cats, dogs, and birds) in the home, and in addition to my own, I've enjoyed years of professional experience caring for others' pets. I was a professional boarder in 2008, a professional dog walker and pet sitter from 2014 to 2017, and managed a local dog walking and pet sitting company from 2015 to 2017. I'm not a certified dog trainer, but working alongside trainers has given me some skills that help pets have a positive experience away from their people.
Reviews
Johanna took amazing care our dog for boarding over 4 days! She was very responsive and communicative with photos and updates which provided assurance throughout the experience. Would definitely recommend her services and look forward to booking with her again in the future!
Johanna is very communicative and cares for our dogs and home like its’s her own.
Johanna is THE BEST. She takes incredible care of our cat with medical needs and attachment issues--we're able to get away and truly relax on vacation knowing our girl is in good hands. We fully trust Johanna in our home and would recommend her services to anyone.
Johanna was really great with our dog! He’s getting to be on the older side and slower to warm to new people. But Johanna made him feel right at home faster than I’ve seen with anyone else!
