Availability

I have a flexible schedule and am able to prioritize pet care throughout the day, including regular walks, feeding, and attention. I’m typically home for much of the day, which allows me to maintain consistent routines and provide pets with plenty of companionship and care. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for to make sure they’re comfortable, well looked after, and getting the attention they’re used to.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment for every pet in my care. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so I can keep things as familiar and comfortable as possible - whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or quiet time. In my home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe space and closely supervise pets, making sure they’re secure and never left unattended for long periods. I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any changes so I can respond quickly if something seems off. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully, keeping routines consistent and providing regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals - from dogs and cats to birds, reptiles, and farm animals - so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and ensuring every pet feels safe, cared for, and at ease.

Information Joni E. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any specific behaviors or preferences. I also like to understand how they interact with people or other animals, any medical needs, and what helps them feel most comfortable so I can provide the best possible care.

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime, and lots of attention based on your pet’s personality and routine. I love getting outside for walks and fresh air, but I’m just as happy keeping things calm for pets who prefer a slower pace. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Experienced + Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Joni - an experienced, reliable, and genuinely animal-loving sitter based in Seattle. I grew up around animals (including time spent on a farm), so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets, from the largest dogs to the smallest cats. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, routine-driven, or a little quirky, I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs. I’ve also always been a pet parent myself, so I understand how important it is to know your animal is in safe, caring hands. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, administer basic medications if needed, and provide regular updates so you have peace of mind. I follow a vegan lifestyle because I care deeply about animals and their well-being, and I bring that same level of care and respect to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I treat every animal like they’re my own - and I’d love to meet yours!

Amazing dog sitter! Very flexible with scheduling and always kept me updated with photos. My dog got plenty of walks and attention, and she was so kind and caring throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend!

Joni took great care of Ramon. He was spoiled from the moment he arrived with a cool dog condo to enjoy and relax. Thank you Joni!

Joni was great with Archer and made the whole experience easy, especially since this was on short notice. Being local to where we live was a huge plus, and she was reliable, communicative, and took good care of him. Archer seemed comfortable and well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates. We’re hoping to book with Joini again and look forward to many more stays in the future.
