About: Fur momma aspiring to be the person that my dog thinks I am. I enjoy walking, running, and hiking, so your dog will always get the exercise and adventure they crave. I love dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m committed to matching your dog’s pace, whether they need a cozy cuddle or an action-packed day. Your pup will feel right at home with me! Since I work from home most days, I’m available throughout the weekdays, from 9 to 5, for playdates or quick walks. It’s the perfect balance of productivity and pet care. I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for them. I follow a routine that includes regular feeding, exercise, and playtime to ensure their physical and mental well-being. I adapt to each pet’s specific needs, whether it’s providing a calm, cozy space or an active, adventurous day. I make sure to stick to any instructions regarding diet, medication, or special care. Above all, I offer plenty of affection and attention, treating each pet as if they were my own!

About: I have been a MASSIVE dog lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I cared for my families golden retrievers (x3) and two foster Great Pyrenees! But it wasn’t until I had the first dog of my own (a fierce, cuddly and energetic cattle dog mix) that I realized how valuable it is to have someone you trust care for your pup. My dog has his own unique and sometimes challenging personality, not always loving strangers and dealing with some reactivity. So I have come to know first hand how difficult it can be to find someone who is willing to earn your dog’s trust and take time to understand their boundaries. My experience with my own dog has made me accustomed to always having treats on walks, and practicing engagement to ensure a walk is calm opportunity for exercise and mental enrichment. I promise to care for your dog as if they were my own, and to provide the love and attention your dog deserves! I work from home x3 a week, and am available most weekends. I will always be sure your dog gets my full and undivided attention when we are together, and will never provide a lower quality of care than what I would want for my own dog! I have one dog (Archie, 3 year old cattle dog mix, 28 pounds) and no children. I live in a dog friendly apartment complex nearby several parks.

About: New to rover but not new to pet-care! Experience watching dogs of all breeds and ages for 5+ years, including puppies, older pups, and dogs large and small, high energy or shy! I've newly left the military and federal workforce to take some time off, explore other interests, and prioritize self care, including fitness/activity! While I'm spending time at home or walking around DC, I would love to love on your pup! I have two friendly dogs at home to keep your pup company, and my apartment is both very centrally located in DC near the mall for pups that love walks and also perfect for social pups, with 3 dog parks within a 5 minute walk!

Johanna has watched my pup on multiple occasions, and I can’t imagine trusting anyone more than her. She cares for my dog like he’s her own, even with his less-than appealing anxiety issues. She loves her dog more than life, and treats all animals with this type of love and care. Long walks, parks, and dog play dates are a normal part of Jo’s day to day activities, so you can assure your dog will be enriched in Johanna’s care.
