Safety, trust & environment

For care in your home, I always start out with opening the door and calling out your pet’s name. I observe where things are placed (food, leash, accessories) before heading out the door for a potty break/walk. Upon arrival from their break, I would set up for their meal time and hydration. If there is a routine already set in place by you, I will adhere to that or set for quality time and care with your pet (lots of cuddles and treats, of course)

Information Johanna G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your fur baby’s schedule is like and what they expect upon arrival. From their favorite toy to their preferred way of knocking upon entry, there’s always something they like!

A typical day

If I can teach a cat to do tricks, I can surely manage giving your fur baby a refresher! I enjoy regularly spending time with furry friends and will love to take them bird and turtle watching by the Meer, as well as circle the Conservatory. With permission, we can always circle Morningside or take a walk by Riverside Drive.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have years of experience with pets of all sizes. Am I not available? Ask my twin sister, Rosanna, or our neighbor, Keenan! My first experience with pets was when my sister Rosanna and I were 6 and given my first pet parakeets, then a turtles.. followed by a rabbit, a cat, and a dog! My neighbors have regularly relied on me to pet sit or walk their dogs. I was even a volunteer pet sitter for a local rescue organization when fosters would go on vacation. I have pet sat the past 13 years and have my own three furry friends. I also feed local stray cats in the neighborhood in my own free time and help maintain a colony 🐱

Johanna took great care of our old kitty! She clearly has lots of experience with older cats, which was much appreciated since ours needed meds and help cleaning. She sent great updates so we could see our kitty was ok while we were gone.

Smokey is always in good hands with Johanna! It puts me at ease to see she keeps him company and gives him lots of love while I’m away. Johanna is consistent, a good communicator and dedicated. I really appreciate having her around for my fur baby!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
