Information Johnita D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any medical needs, anxiety, reactivity, toileting issues, or any other notable concern, I would love to know this ahead of time to best care for them.

A typical day

I try to learn the things your fur baby prefers and engage with them as much or as little as they prefer. Whether its a game of fetch, waving a cat wand, providing enrichment games or tug, I aim to do my best to provide the necessary stimulation. If your pet prefers to eat and sleep, I provide space to do that too.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Jai and I am a Maryland native who has lived in Baltimore City and has been providing pet care for 6 years. I have worked with pets of various needs, personalities and temperaments. I work to slowly build trust with your fur babies, ensuring that our time together is very reinforcing. From the extremely skittish to the reactive, I read your baby’s body language and adjust accordingly. I allow your pet to approach me in their own time, providing adequate space as they acclimate. I can also give your affection-hungry fur babies all the loving they need. Let’s chat!
