Compassionate cat lover
Pet care experience
I have been a cat and small pet sitter for 5 years, but have been caring for cats for 15+ years. I have experience volunteering at a cat shelter taking care of the cats there, and I am a cat mom myself, so I'm well accustomed to following schedules for kitties, getting them some good solid play time, and making sure they feel happy and entertained! I do have some experience administering oral, ear, and topical medication. I request that your pets have not have a recent flea infestation before booking with me, because I have my own pets and do not want to bring that home. If it comes up between booking and the date of visits, please just be honest with me so I can treat my own cat accordingly. I have some experience with a variety of small pets as well so if you have small pets in addition to cats I'm happy to care for them for an additional fee. I also can water and care for your plants during your time away for a small additional fee.
Reviews
Every time I book Johanna I am happy I did. My cats seem to love her and she keeps my house tidy on her visits, which is appreciated.
Johanna put my mind and heart at ease while I was away on a personal trip. She took care of my cats in such a loving way, truly as if they were her own. I know they enjoyed her visits and I am eternally grateful. I will definitely be going to her for my future cat sitting needs. Thank you so much Johanna, you’re the best!!!
Joanna did a wonderful job taking care of my cat!! This is my 2nd booking with her and I will definitely use her again!!!
My cats are very shy and when I met Johanna I knew she was going to be a good fit. She was great with pictures and updates. I will definitely be rebooking with her…she seems to have that calm, reassuring personality that is great for cats !
About Johanna S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
A typical cat visit consists of feeding them per your guidelines, cleaning litter box(es), refreshing water, brushing if asked, and the remainder of my time is spent with the cat - petting, playing, just hanging out, whatever attention the cat seems to want.
Information Johanna S. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know if kitty has any favorite treats or toys, favorite and least favorite scratchy spots, and if there's anything in particular they love to do. My cat Larry loves to spend time out on the patio, either in his harness or just being held by me, so I'd love to add that little extra for your kitty while watching him/her.
A typical day
I don't typically watch dogs right now, but with cats, I like to make sure they get some play time and affection in. I do not do any grooming such as nail clipping.
Services
Johanna can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home, so I can check in on your cat(s) during the day. I typically cannot do multiple check-ins in one day, but feel free to ask and depending on where you live, it may be doable for an additional rate. I'm not able to stay overnight with your pets, but I'm very flexible otherwise and just want your pets to be happy and you to feel comfortable leaving them, so please let me know if there's something special I can do to accommodate them!
