Happy Pets While You’re Away

What sets me apart is my positive energy and hands-on care. I love keeping pets engaged and happy while sticking closely to their routines. I’m comfortable with basic training reinforcement, leash manners, and giving extra care to puppies or senior pets. Every visit is focused on fun, safety, and making pets feel comfortable.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in their own homes, keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and medications if needed. I’m attentive to safety by securing doors, gates, and leashes, and I always keep a close eye on pets during visits. I also send regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their pets are in good hands.

Joni did an amazing job taking care of Winston, Matilda and our two cats while watching our home! We came back to happy, well-loved babies and everything in perfect shape. She’s reliable, caring, and we’d absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!

Joni treated beaux as one of her own. Did an amazing job communicating and our pup definitely had a great time as well. Will 100% recommend Joni to watch anyone’s pups

Schedule

Hi! I’m a retired, high-energy animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, plus a lifetime of pet ownership. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat, so pets are a big part of my everyday life. I have flexible availability and enjoy staying active with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with puppies and kittens, senior pets, and giving medications, and I always follow routines closely. I treat every pet like my own and would love to help care for yours while you’re away

I like to know a pet’s routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any medical needs ahead of time. It’s also helpful to know about leash behavior, triggers, or anything that helps them feel comfortable and safe
