Experienced pet sitter with zoology degree!
Pet care experience
I am currently a student at Imperial studying Conservation Science from home, so I am very flexible and present for pet sitting. I have been thoroughly enjoying my time as a dog walker and sitter for over three years now. I have a wide knowledge of how to look after pets including animal behaviour and training. I have a Level 3 qualification in Animal Science and a Bsc in Zoology. Animals are my passion and this reflects in my history of pets. Since the age of 4, I have had a variety of pets including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, fish, invertebrates and recently exotic mammals. I have taught my own pet dogs a variety of tricks such as jump, spin, roll over and general good behaviour. Your pet will be showered with love and affection, the more cuddles the better! I am a sporty outdoors person and look forward to having an excuse to play outside with your doggies. Other animal-related work experience is - A zoology degree - Previous pet sitting experience (references available) - Volunteering at Aktion-Tier Dog shelter - Volunteering at Refugio Tierra Blanca dog and cat shelter - Volunteering at Amazing Animals (Training facility for animals in the media) - Dangerous reptile handling certificate - Bird of prey handling certificate - 1-year farm placement NEED TO KNOW; - These rates exclude dogs that need high levels of attention, behavioural problems, sick or aren't house trained. If your dog has special needs please let me know as this can be catered for, however, I need to know in advance. Thank you. I have a fenced garden and a dog gate to stop dogs from running out of an opened front door. I also have a very large dog crate and happy to follow crate training rules in the house to prevent any stress.
Reviews
Thank you Johanna! 🐾 xx
Johanna was lovely and our rescue Staffie thoroughly enjoyed his visit despite the presence of cats and kittens (who were actually very friendly). Thank you.
Johanna looked after Nikko at our house and she was great! She communicated regularly and even sent photo and video updates. She accommodated our booking at very short notice and stayed to look after Nikko for an hour longer than we had agreed so he wasn’t on his own too long before I got back from work. She is super friendly and I would highly recommend her!
Five stars as always. Johanna is an excellent dog sitter and Bones loves her! Always my #1 choice.

I have a fenced garden and I always follow a set of health and safety rules to safeguard the dog, for example making sure the lead and hardness are on before opening any doors and feeding dogs in separate rooms if applicable.

I am free every day as my Uni course is online! I love going for walks in the morning so a dog fits perfectly in my daily routine. I am very active and often go for hikes or to garden centres on the weekends, which dogs love to join!
