Jonie
Owner
I proudly own and operate Happy Walks Pet Sitting, a licensed and insured pet care service based out of Bensenville. I will spoil your pet with adventure and enrichment when you cannot. I am currently accepting new dog walking/pet sitting clients. 🐶🐩🐕🐈🐈⬛🦎🐍🐢🐇🐹🐦⬛🐠
I provide your pet with development through walks or jogs, play, puzzles, cuddles, belly rubs, enforcing training commands and brushing their coats and teeth. I also clean/refresh food and water dishes, offer customizable vacation care visits, daily and weekly litter box maintenance, scoop poop, water plants and gardens and retrieve the mail/trash cans.
I am comfortable with all breeds, small animals, fish and birds and have owned many of the above. Currently, I am a rescue cat Mama. I regularly attend pet summits to stay updated on enrichment, pet nutrition and senior pet care. I 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. I am thoroughly background checked and hold a bachelor degree from SIUc.
I work part-time as a hospice caregiver where I am able to select my own hours, so pet care fits perfectly into my daily schedule.
I am loving, dependable and eager to pamper your treasured pet. I love to enrich dogs’ lives with whatever makes them joyful. Please let me know if they have a favorite toy, favorite park or preferred place to walk as I am happy to customize visits. I welcome any details you can offer so I can make your animal companion as comfortable as possible. My husband had a diabetic dog so we are experienced in administering insulin shots.

Collette
Insured Dog Walker/Pet Sitter
I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 11. Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. I give all animals the love, care and attention they need.
I am currently taking classes online, so my schedule is always flexible to help take care of your animals and help with their own unique needs.
I grew up with both cats and dogs, so being able to care for multiple pets at the same time is something l’m familiar with. Being able to provide multiple pets with their individual needs, while providing a safe, fun environment, is what I enjoy doing best.
