Safety, trust & environment

Since I live in a strict no-pets apartment, I do not offer boarding at this time. Regardless, I prefer to do house and pet sitting in your home to help your pet adjust to a new person in their familiar environment. I will follow your detailed care instructions closely and ensure open communication, reaching out if any issues arise. My goal is to provide a smooth and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.

Information Johanna L. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know any specific needs or routines your pet has, including dietary restrictions, medical conditions, and medication schedules. Please inform me about their temperament, any triggers or fears, and their favorite activities or toys. Understanding your pet's daily routine and any special instructions will help me ensure they feel comfortable and happy while in my care.

A typical day

I enjoy engaging with pets in ways that match their unique personalities and energy levels. For dogs, I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, and engaging in interactive play with toys. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys like feather wands and laser pointers, as well as providing cozy spots for them to explore and relax. I always make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection, whether it's through playtime, gentle petting, or simply keeping them company.

Pet care experience

I took care of friends’ and professors’ pets during college and have had a dog and cat in the past. I have taken care of puppies as well as senior dogs. I have also had experience taking care of turtles, fish, and parakeets growing up.

Johanna is the best! She is great with our cat and dog and sends good reports. I’m sure the next time we vacation our pets will adopt her as their new owner :-)

Johanna was an amazing house sitter/dog sitter! She left the place immaculate and our dog seemed so happy when we returned! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of pictures! I would recommend her and I would book her again!

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.
