Availability

I have flexible hours during the warmer months and love getting outside with my energetic Siberian Husky for regular walks and grooming. I can accept one-time bookings easily, though reoccurring schedules for walking should be discussed in advance since my availability may be limited. During November through April, walking services are more weather-dependent and may not always be open.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog is welcomed into a calm, dog-friendly home where they will have attention, companionship, and structure. Crate-comfort for short periods is important, especially for pups who may get anxious when left alone for quick errands. Day sitting is available for a minimum of 7 hours within a 14-16 hour day (pet needs to do well 8 hours overnight), with a maximum 3-hour break for other tasks; usually in the morning (this also applies to boarding). Overnight stays are generally limited to once every 3 booked days. I remain mindful of each pet’s boundaries and training. Please provide a clear list of your expectations for each home visit. • Furniture rules will match what they’re used to at home • Resource guarding or aggression cannot be accommodated for everyone’s safety My philosophy is simple: a dog should feel respected, understood, and appreciated every step of the way. ❤️

Information johnny l. would like to know about your pet

Sharing a few details helps me take the very best care of your buddy: • Medications and allergies • Social comfort level with other dogs • Any quirks, triggers, or routines that make them feel secure • Emergency contact info Bonus: I make my own simple jerky treats from plain beef, pork, or chicken if your pup is allowed to enjoy them!

A typical day

Dogs deserve a walk that feels like an adventure, not a chore. We explore at their pace with plenty of sniff-time and mental enrichment. I’m happy to follow your preferred route or try out dog-friendly parks and open spaces nearby. I pay close attention to tail wags, body language, and overall mood. If a dog needs a break or seems unsure, we slow down. Building trust matters more than pushing miles, so after bathroom needs are met, we head home if your pup is ready to relax again. Every outing should feel safe and fun.

Pet care experience

I bring nine years of dedicated pet-care experience, primarily with my Siberian Husky, a breed known for its intelligence, energy, and unique behavioral needs. My background also includes occasional care for cats, giving me a well-rounded understanding of feline routines and temperaments. Whether it’s exercise, enrichment, or calm companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive, and compassionate care for every pet.

Johnny is absolutely the best dog carer I ever had. He was very patient with my dog and took great care of her.
