Pet care experience

Pampering for ANY pet!

Growing up, our family always had a variety of pets. We were avid campers and spent a lot of time in nature, where we learned love and respect for all creatures. We always had a German shepherd and several cats. In addition to dogs and cats, I have loved, raised and enjoyed the company of nearly any kind of pet you can imagine- birds, rats, mice, gerbils, a hedgehog, fish in aquariums and backyard ponds, and hermit crabs, to name a few- so I am very versatile as a caregiver for your babies of any species! All of my current pets are rescues from bad situations, so I have learned some behavioral and emotional support techniques and to accept certain limits on how much a pet can give or receive. Both of my current dogs are seniors and so I am also experienced with elder care. Quirks are my specialty!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard, with a covered porch and doggie door to the back for any daycare at my home. I will play with, cuddle, feed and pamper your pet during day visits, or even give your pup a lovely bath if desired. If you have caged pets I can also give them expert care!

Extremely good with my dogs and did a run through to make sure everyone was comfortable. My most skittish dog took treats from her.

Joni has watched over my cat for a couple times now and she is honestly the best. She is reliable, communicative, and took excellent care of my cat while I was away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy and well cared for.

I am currently retired and so I am very flexible with scheduling. I currently share my home with two chihuahuas and four cats, so I am not available for overnight stays with fur babies in your home.

Please let me know if your baby will have any special needs such as medication, elder care, or emotional/behavioral support during our visits or walks. I can provide comforting slings or a buggy for more timid pups.
