Pet care experience

experienced dogsitter + owner

I love dogs and have over ten years of experience as a dogsitter for families and friends in my neighborhood, although I just recently decided to join Rover. I frequently take care of pets large and small, including those with additional emotional and physical needs. I have two dogs, Chicken and April. Chicken is terrier/Chihuahua mix and a total lover, but came to me with reactivity that we’ve worked over the three years since I rescued him. April is a mini aussie who came to me with pretty profound trauma—she loves other dogs but can shut down around people. We’ve done a lot of work together and she’s grown much braver and feels so much safer, which is a joy to watch. I live in a condo with a wonderful fenced in backyard and other dog neighbors to play with! I also have a spare bedroom that can be used for nervous or anxious puppies that need more time and space to settle in. I worked for years as a preschool teacher, so am well-versed and confident running around with energetic and complex creatures :)

Johanna is a kind soul and a natural caregiver. She sent me daily photos, and I would trust her with my kids, as well as my dog. I hope she’ll be available the next time I need someone to spoil my geriatric puppy.

Johanna was very accommodating and took my dog last minute. She kept me updated on how my dog was doing while I was away. I had a great experience, and I'll definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and live right by Powderhorn Park. I've got lots of friends nearby with dogs if yours likes playmates, as well as my own dog, Chicken, but also happy to give them extra attention and time alone if that's not their thing. I am super responsive to messages, love sending photos/videos when walking and sitting animals, and make sure to be super observant to ensure that the pets I care for feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their home or yours.

Pets

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks and play endless games of fetch. We can go on playdates and to do the dog park if that's something your dog enjoys! Also really into cuddles, and happy to have dogs sleep in my bed :) Depending on the day, the amount of time I'd be able to spend with your pup varies, but would always be able to give them a potty break every 4 hours.
