Gentle and Intuitive Pet Lover

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!

As usual, Johnita went above and beyond! I swear that when I came home from my trip, my cat was disappointed it was me and not her - they’re besties now. I know I can always rely on her to give my girl the very best care.

Johnita was amazing! This was the first time I'd left my cat with a sitter for longer than a few days, and I was nervous, but Johnita gave Lucy lots of love and played with her and sent me daily updates with pictures. She took such fantastic care of Lucy I thought she might not be as happy to see me! I highly recommend Johnita - she's reliable, warm, responsible, and caring; everything you want in the person who will care for your beloved pet!
