Pet care experience

I am available at any time and will care for any pet. I will love them as my own and can give medication including shots. My cancellation policy is very flexible. I will not charge for last min cancellations. Also very flexible with last minute trips. I can come as many times a day as needed. I have been pet sitting for 16 years. I have an old Italian greyhound and a rescue Catahoula. I have worked with animals that have had asthma, diabetes, blind and many other different cases. Even if you want to go on that last minute trip on a Saturday please give me a call. I love animals and hope you consider me to love your pet. I am here for you and your pet.

Joni was absolutely amazing. My day Chuey loves her and had a great time with her. Joni took lots of picture and provided updates during every visit. It was wonderful to see my baby taken such great care of during our vacation. Joni is just the sweetest and caring person. She definitely went above and beyond. Because of this, we feel such a close bond with Joni and will continue to use her when we go out of town. What a consummate professional!

Joni is outstanding. She picked up on all the little nuances of my pets—dog and cat—straight away. Great communicator, professional, and experienced.
