Availability
I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company.

About Joni W.
Communication
Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

Information Joni W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs or preferences, or things best to avoid. I really enjoy meeting new pet souls and gaining their (and your!) trust.
A typical day
I've been going on walks and hikes in local parks, like Branchbrook, Weequahic, and Riverfront. I have a car to travel a little further, like South Mountain Reservation, Brookdale Park, Loantaka Park and more. I used to take my dog and my neighbor's dog on walks with my razor scooter or fold up bicycle--I would ride, she or they would trot alongside in no-traffic paved park areas. They LOVED it! If your dog is game (and leash-trained), we could get more exercise in that way, especially if they are very high energy.

Calm Caring Compassionate Companion
Cat care experience
I had an indoor cat from 8 weeks to 18 years, and have handled shelter cats to socialize them and get ready for adoption, even the ones the shelter staff said were impossible to hold. Helped neighbors and roommates with their cats. Love all ages, from kittens to seniors, and can accommodate special needs, including help animals stay calm post surgery and wearing those annoying cones.
Reviews
Joni was amazing! Followed my instructions to a T, sent plenty of photos and updates. Even offered to water my garden during a heat wave! Came home to two happy and well loved animals, a clean house, and some lovely fresh flowers placed in water. Can’t recommend Joni enough.
I could not have been happier with Joni's house sitting and care of my cats. She is extremely kind, patient, calm and warm, and my two cats responded well to her immediately. One of my cats takes medications twice a day and getting him to take his pills is quite challenging. Joni was successful in giving him all is medications ever day. Joni communicated with me daily and sent wonderful pictures. My apartment and cats all looked fantastic when I returned! I give Joni my highest recommendation, and I greatly appreciate her excellent work.
Joni was a wonderful sitter for Tigger! She communicated well throughout the stay and took great care of him — including giving him his medication and gently comforting him when he was scared. The only minor hiccup was with the Rover card check-in timing (either forgetting or tapping a bit too early), but that’s a small thing. Overall, I’d highly recommend her and would definitely book again!
Joni was absolutely lovely with my beloved cat! I came home to a cat that looked even happier than when I dropped her off. Thank you, Joni!
