About Joni S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
🤔 I am happy to do a meet & greet prior to the visit if that helps make you more comfortable. I’d love to start a conversation and build a relationship with you, so that if you need care- now or down the road- you’ll have a go-to sitter you can trust! 📸 I LOVE taking pictures and videos of the new furry friends I make, so be assured you will get plenty to feel at ease. 🧹 TIDY HOUSE GUEST - When visiting your home, I give a lot of mindfulness to keeping things tidy, clean, and SAFE**, as I am by nature! I try to keep everything as it was- if not cleaner than - when I entered. 🤲🏻 KEPT IN GOOD HANDS - I like to keep your pet’s routine as safe, familiar & consistent as possible while the family is away, so administering medication 💊 (oral, topical) as needed, will not be a worry ❤️ I am also a patient at Montrose vet clinic in case of emergencies.
Information Joni S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know all about your pet! The more I know about them, the better I can cater to his or her needs. I love to know temperament, training, high energy, low energy, playful, stand-offish, bad habits, leash/harness instructions, behavior towards other animals, etc.
A typical day
I am very familiar with the Buffalo Bayou Trails on Allen Parkway (Johnny Steele Dog Park, Cleveland Baseball Park) as I walk/visit there a lot. If you live close and your dog likes those areas, I can make it happen!

RiceMilitary-Trusting Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I am a resident of Rice Military & animal lover who is available to help provide pet check-ins and or dog walks (depending on availability). I have fostered for Friends for Life Rescue and have experience sitting for cats & dogs for friends, family and neighbors. I have grown up with animals my entire life! I have a spunky orange cat named Rudy and a 3 yr old golden retriever named Sage. I have experience caring for older cats who may require extra attention/care. **All rates and services are negotiable. I am more than happy to quote a custom rate based on 20 or 45 minute visits as opposed to 30 or 60, which is what Rover defaults to.

Reviews


Joni is always wonderful! Thanks for your help!!


Joni was an amazing pet sitter! She checked in on my cats over Christmas and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, very communicative, and sent lots of great photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about my cats and made sure they were happy and well looked after. I would absolutely book with Joni again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.
Joni is an exceptional and experienced care giver. She understands our very different cats, including an older one who has challenges. Joni also mindfully watered our plants and her communication is off the charts wonderful - thorough, timely and calming. We would and will engage Joni again without hesitation! Thank you, Joni.


Highly recommend Joni!!
