Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs Lives Matter
My international exchange students and I live in a spacious home in the Lakeridge/Skyway/Rainier Beach area, complete with a large, three-tiered yard. My neighbors affectionately call me “Dr. Dolittle” because of my deep care for all animals, not just dogs. While I ensure my home stays exceptionally clean, I also allow pets to fully enjoy being themselves. In our home, animals are treated with the same love and care one would give to their children. Pets are welcome on the furniture and even in our beds, but we also have a kennel for times when it’s needed. I encourage potential clients to visit my home before deciding to entrust me with their pets’ care. I work part-time for the City of Seattle, and when I’m not home, my exchange student is always present. You won’t find a more loving and dedicated caregiver for your animals!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Johnnie and crew are the best. I have an anxious corgi who just wants to be around people and he is always happy and exhausted when I come home. Johnnie is very communicative and works with me.

Great sitter

Johnnie is one of the good ones! He took excellent care of our dog and sent some truly professional-level photos. Will definitely be returning!
My pup is always excited to go to Johnnie’s, and is always happy when I pick her up! Can’t thank him enough for the amazing care he provides.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, with time dedicated to feeding, exercise, play, and grooming. I work part-time, but my exchange student ensures the pets are cared for when I’m away. Maintaining a clean, loving, and pet-friendly home is always a priority.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I ensure they are well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention. Pets are welcome on furniture and have access to kennels when needed. For clients, I follow any specific instructions to maintain their pet’s routine and comfort, ensuring they feel at home while under my care.
Pets
A typical day
I keep pets engaged with daily walks, playtime in my spacious yard, and interactive games like fetch and tug-of-war. Depending on the pet’s needs and energy levels, we might also enjoy trips to local parks or simple cuddle time to make them feel loved and comfortable. My goal is to ensure they have fun and stay happy while in my care.

- It’s important to know a pet’s temperament, medical needs, feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any behavioral quirks. I also ask about their likes, dislikes, and comfort level around other animals to ensure a safe and stress-free experience. Any specific instructions or routines help me provide the best care possible.
