Pet care experience

I proudly own & operate Happy Walks Pet Sitting a licensed & insured pet care service based out of Elmhurst/Bensenville and I will spoil your pet with adventure & enrichment when you can’t. Accepting new dog walking/pet sitting clients. Customizable visits servicing aquariums, plants & gardens, trash day, bringing in mail etc.🐶🐩🐕🐈🐈‍⬛🦎🐍🐢🐇🐹🐦‍⬛🐠 I give your pet enrichment through walks, play, puzzles, cuddles, belly rubs, enforcing training, brushing their coats or teeth, even scooping poop, watering plants and retrieving the mail/trash cans. I am comfortable with all breeds , small animals, fish and birds and have owned many of the above currently a rescue cat Mama. I regularly attend pet summits to stay updated on enrichment, pet nutrition, senior pet care and previously worked as dog walker/pet sitter and office admin for a local pet sitting service as well as co-managed my husband’s aquarium store.

Jonie was quick to respond when setting up a walk, she arrived on time, sent several pictures and an update promptly, and my dog seemed to have a great time and enjoyed a belly rub, from the pictures. I'd hire Jonie again and highly recommend her!

Jonie is a true cat whisperer! She immediately connected with my shy girl—had her eating out of the palm of her hand in no time. Punctual, communicative, and caring. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!"

Our dog was so excited to meet Jonie. Very friendly and professional, would highly recommend her to anyone needing trusted pet care.

My dog, Daphne, loved Jonie and was eager to go on her first walk with her! Jonie took a lot of care to make sure she wiped off Daphne's paws when it was raining, she offered to brush her teeth, and she seemed concerned about making sure she had all of the care instructions needed for Daphne. I also think it's important that Jonie is licensed, insured, and is able to transport pets, in case of an emergency. When I was giving Jonie information about Daphne's vet, in case it was needed, she was even familiar with staff there! I would definitely hire Jonie again and recommend her to others.
