About: Hi, I’m Johnnie! With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I provide a calm, reliable, and personalized environment for every pup. Whether your dog loves high‑energy play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I tailor my care to fit their unique needs. I offer companionship, feeding, walking, grooming, and bathing, along with a fully fenced yard for safe, supervised play. Crate training or crating is available upon request. Your dog’s comfort, routine, and happiness always come first. Pet care is naturally woven into my daily and weekly routine. I structure my day around feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs each dog may have. Because I work from home and keep a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, and plenty of supervised outdoor time in my fenced yard. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening wind‑downs, I make sure every dog gets the right balance of exercise, enrichment, and relaxation. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s a core part of my everyday life. How I Care for Pets in My Home In my home, dogs enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment. I provide consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My fully fenced yard allows for supervised outdoor play, and I tailor activities based on each dog’s energy level—whether that’s high‑energy fetch or calm relaxation. I maintain a clean, comfortable space and can accommodate crate training or crating upon request. Every dog gets personalized attention, enrichment, and plenty of affection. **How I Care for Pets in a Client’s Home** When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines to keep pets comfortable and stress‑free. I stick to the owner’s feeding schedule, walking preferences, and any special instructions. I make sure the home stays tidy, provide updates with photos, and give each pet the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make their time away from their family feel as normal and reassuring as possible.
“We recently moved here. Family members took care of our dog previously, but we lost that when we moved. We were very apprehensive about leaving our dog with someone we didn't know well, but Radka & Jim were great! We received plenty of updates with pictures and videos, and Lexi was very happy when I picked her up. We already have our next stay with them booked and I would definitely recommend them.”
“Jax was well taken care of. I almost thought he wasn’t going to want to come home he was having so much fun. I will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Jeanette responded to our request right away in such a short notice. She happily took care of our 2 pitties for the weekend and even took them on a field trip! Will definitely book her again 💞”
“I was extremely satisfied with the care Bentley received while with Amanda and her family. Her fur babies were very welcoming to Bentley and I felt he was happy with his new friends. To my surprise, they went on a “field trip” where they were allowed to run off leash and smell and play in a very large confined space . I worried he would not want to leave with me and leave his friends behind. I highly recommend Amanda and will definitely use her in the future!!”
“Initially, I was worried about leaving my sweet boy, Murphy, with anyone as he's never been without me. However, he had the time of his life; his own mini vacation. Royal & Rhonda provided lots of updates with pictures and comments. In every picture he had the biggest smile. It made me so happy to see him having such a great time interacting with the family. I highly recommend Royal & Rhonda and will definitely use them again!”
“My dog had an amazing time with Michelle and Milo - She liked it so much it seemed she didn’t want to leave! Seriously, Michelle took great care of my girl and made sure all of her needs were taken care of.”
“We were incredibly anxious to leave our Dharma puppy. She has never been without us since joining our family at 10 weeks. But we had to go out of town and Lisa was extremely communicative, she sent pictures, and reassured us every chance she got. We are really happy and highly recommend Lisa.”
“Alison is amazing! I was a little worried about how Louie would be once we left but she did a great job reassuring me he was ok! She didn’t skip a beat with her updates and plenty of pictures! I can tell he felt the love from her just as much as I could tell just by the pictures! I would definitely rebook if she’s available!”
“Our 5 year old lab had a great time staying with Matt. He enjoyed playing with Matt’s dog plus the way other guests. He came home happy and TIRED. Next time we need someone to watch him we’ll definitely hope he can stay with Matt again.”
“Laura and DJ took such great care of our dogs, Benny and Kiwi, while we were away for our wedding weekend!! They sent regular picture and video updates of the pups playing, getting love, and having fun. I can’t thank them enough! Definitely 10/10 recommend booking with them!”
“Had a great experience working with Deven and Tyreek! They took great care of our dog and provided excellent daily updates. He looked very happy in all his pics!”
“Miranda is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! She took care of our dog Archie last-minute (for the first time, too) and was incredibly kind, helpful, and constantly updated me while watching him. Archie had such a good time, he didn't want to leave! We also had to pick him up past midnight on our way back, and Miranda was extremely accommodating and, again, was just amazing overall. Her dog Crush was also super sweet and has become Archie's first best friend. We will absolutely be using her services again, and I highly recommend others to do the same!!!”
“Excellent sitter. She was so professional and caring. She walked him she played with him. I got pictures everyday. Bruno got along with her baby. They became good buddies. I can tell Bruno miss Snoop her pet. When I have to go away again I definitely want Myrna to be the sitter. You will feel good about leaving your pet with her”
“Katlin did a great job taking care of Shade. She provided me with updates on how Shade was doing. I like the fact that there was another small do there that Shade could play with. I did meet Danny but I’m sure they work as a team. Thanks so much for taking care of my little one.”
“Kim was amazing with my dog, Tux!! He stayed with her for 3 nights and had a blast! I know he was well taken care of! She also bathed and groomed him while he was with her and I got him back so clean and well groomed! She does such an amazing job and we will be coming back to her for grooming and hopefully he can visit again when we have to go out of town. She really is amazing and amazing at what she does! You can tell she truly loves the animals she watches and takes care of!”
Petersburg pet parents share their Rover experiences
Alison took exceptional care of my puppy, Rocky. She was incredibly responsive, answered all of my questions promptly, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos throughout his stay. I was initially a bit nervous about how Rocky would interact with a larger dog, as he has had negative experiences with bigger dogs in the past. However, Alison’s German Shepherd was one of the calmest, most well-behaved, and patient dogs I’ve ever met. Thanks to that gentle temperament, Rocky quickly felt safe and comfortable, and before long, they became best friends. I highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter. She also has a spacious, fenced-in yard where Rocky could run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
We had a great experience with our dog sitter. He took excellent care of our dog, kept us updated, and made sure everything went smoothly while we were away. It was clear that he genuinely cared and was attentive to our dog’s needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pet was in good hands. We will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 🐾
This is the first time I have used a sitter for my pups and the experience was amazing because of Courtney and Lilly! I would recommend them to anyone wanting to find a sitter in the area regardless if they have used sitters before or not. They were great overall and even sent updates daily on how they were doing! They will be our go-to anytime we need a sitter moving forward!
Sara and Jakob were great with Kingsley. They seem to really know animals and how to handle them as well. We needed someone who will provide just the right amount of play and rest for Kingsley as he is a Big Energetic puppy. Sara provided pictures and videos daily and let me know Kingsley's schedule everyday at "winter camp" with her own doggies lol. Two days before the end of our boarding period, I asked if they would give Kingsley a bath at extra cost and they happily said yes even though it was kind of last minute and Kingsley is a big dog! Kingsley came back very clean and happy. We felt good during our time away and was able to enjoy our trip knowing that Kingsley was being taken care of. We are definitely going to take Kingsley to Sara again the next time we are away! Thanks guys!
When I say Angel, I mean Angel. I was all the way across the Atlantic when the person I trusted to keep our fur-baby was not able to care for him properly. We were really contemplating returning home. Rover has held me before; but not like this. It was 4:30 a.m. in the morning when I DESPERATELY reached out to several providers. I don't know why but Taijah responded almost immediately. After a few text messages back and forth, she agreed to pick Mylo up from the house and board him. She picked him up by 8 the same morning, and when my flight came in late, she kept him for us. Her calm spirit, her professionalism, and her bond with Mylo, allowed us to enjoy the rest of our stay knowing he was in good hands. She sent photos, kept me updated and it almost made me jealous to see him so comfortable with her after just meeting her. I am SO grateful and so blessed to have found her at such a critical time. She allowed Mylo to snuggle with her and I believe that allowed him to recover. She will forever be my go to. I thank Rover so much for this service...but most of all I thank Taijah for taking such good care of our baby and coming through in a traumatic clutch.
