Gentle and Intuitive Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Jai and I am a Maryland native who has lived in Baltimore City the past 3.5 years. I have been pet sitting and dog walking for 3 years. I have worked with pets of all sizes, strengths and temperaments. Regardless of species, I work to slowly build trust with your fur babies, ensuring that our time together is very reinforcing. From the anxious to the reactive, I read your baby’s body language and adjust accordingly. I can handle your the strongest leash-tugger (I have walked two cane cursos simultaneously) but I can also give your affection-hungry pets all the loving they need. Let’s chat!

Great walker, can get my reluctant walker to go for a good loop. Really appreciate how prompt and flexible she is with schedules!

She took such great care of my two big babies! Great with large breeds (I have two cane corsos). Played with them after their walk and made sure they felt loved before she left. Can’t thank her enough!

Loved having johnita walk our pup! Our large dog has several specific needs/instructions. Johnita was very communicative and did a great job taking care of Lillie. Will definitely be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I based my services around what you and your for baby needs! If your pet prefers distance, I provide that distance, but ensure that they know that I am a safe presence. If they need more mental stimulation, I will play with them. If they just need some cuddles, scratches, or head rubs I am more than happy to do that. I also like to update my clients with daily pictures and little updates.

Information Johnita D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any health or medical needs, anxiety, reactivity, or toilet toilet in problems, I would love to know this ahead of time to best care for them.

A typical day

I try to keep your fur baby on as similar a schedule as possible. I take note of the temperament. If they are low energy, I let them sleep. If they require more stimulation, I am sure that we have walks that provide lots of olfactory stimulation. And throughout the day, I’m happy to play tag or fetch with them.
