Availability
As a brand and marketing consultant, I work from home and can maintain a flexible schedule that meets your and your pet’s needs. I prefer walking dogs during cool morning or evening hours for their own health considerations. If walking during the heat of the day, I do require pet owners to provide their pet with safety shoes or have access to a non-concrete or asphalt walking route.

About Johnna P.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
When boarding or pet-sitting in your home, your pet will have the company of my 13-year old female dog, Bonny, who is non-reactive to dogs and cats. For daily walks, your pet will be alone with me, unless we’ve discussed and agreed that having Bonny walk with them is your preference.

Information Johnna P. would like to know about your pet
I’m comfortable providing medication, feeding special diets, and regulating play and exercise to accommodate injuries or other conditions, but I can only do these if I’m aware of your pet’s situation. Does your pet love to cuddle, but hate to be brushed? Do they become a ball of mush around elderly people, but get their hackles up around kiddos? Do they love big dogs, but quake or lunge when a chihuahua or cat comes around the corner? Do they love belly scritches, but growl/hiss if any other body part is touched? It’s okay—I can work with this, as long as you tell me! It’s super important that you communicate your pet’s health issues, special needs, or unique behaviors, so that our time together can be thoroughly enjoyed by us both.
A typical day
Play and mental stimulation are important for a healthy, happy pet! I’ll always follow your instructions for structure, but ideally that will include time for both exercise and “exploration” (aka sniffer’s paradise) during walks, playtime (tugging, fetch, snuffle mats or seeking games), and snuggles (only if your pet enjoys it!). If it’s a longer visit, there’ll also be periods for settling and resting. I want your pet to be blissfully exhausted and thoroughly happy when you come back home!

Pet care experience
I’ve been a pet owner/carer since, well, birth. Growing up in a rural setting, I cared for dogs, cats, pigs, ducks, sheep, and even fostered a hawk! Friends and family have long called me the baby and dog whisperer, because not only do they gravitate to me, I’m a pro at getting them to rest and relax. I’m currently a dog mom to Bonny, the chillest 13-year old terrier/chihuahua mix that’s ever existed. 🐶 I’ve also owned highly reactive dogs and am skilled at keeping them safe and feeling secure. A former (human) first aid/CPR trainer, I’m currently enrolled to receive my pet first aid/CPR certification. **PLEASE NOTE: Bonny, will *always* be present during boarding and will need to accompany me for housesitting stays. She gets along well with (and mostly ignores) other dogs and cats, but we need to ensure it’s a good fit for all the fur kids! For this reason, I cannot book requests without a prior meet and greet. For drop-ins or walks, let’s chat about whether or not your pup or cat would enjoy her company.** Thanks for your ongoing support. We can’t wait to meet you and your fur kids!

Reviews
I can't say enough good things about our recent experience with Johnna pet/house sitting for us. Johnna took the time to meet us first to make sure it would be a good fit. Our dog is a senior and Johnna was so kind and considerate of all of his needs. Her little dog Bonnie is so adorable and I think having her here made Dexter feel even more comfortable. She sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how he was doing. She left the house spotless and even watered our outdoor plants! It was by far the best experience I have had with a pet sitter. I have already reserved another pet sitting!
We LOVE Johnna!! So thankful we found her Highly recommend!!
This sitter is so kind to my little rambunctious Coco. I am so glad I found her.
We are so happy to have found Johnna for our girls. She gives them so much love and takes wonderful care of them. We love getting the daily pictures and updates. She is such an animal lover and it shows. We are so grateful to have found her. We have peace when leaving them knowing they are in loving hands.
