I bought Jonann’s pet visit package last year at an Auction and it was the best purchase I made. I never think twice about having to leave my pets because I know that Jonann will be there and she treats them as her own. She is trustworthily, honest and flexible. I have had to call her at the last minute and she comes to my rescue. I highly recommend her. This is one decision you don’t have to think twice about.
Jonann is hands down the best pet sitter I have ever used. She is very professional, warm and reliable. She always sends me updates on my cat while I am away, and spends a lot of time snuggling with him. Her price is very reasonable and a real steal for the quality of care. I highly recommend her!
I have used Jonann for daily walks & now when I am traveling. She is the best. She makes you feel comfortable & secure knowing your pets will be safe & your home looked after. She kept me informed of Gypsy & Buddie’s care while we were away. I honestly didn’t miss them because I knew they were in her care. I think its a vacation for them when I go away because she pampers them & treats them with such love.
When Jonann Wild takes care of your furry companions, you know they are in the hands of a professional who provides a dependable and loving service. You can leave home and know your pet is completely safe, pampered, and well-tended. She has taken care of my Yanks several times for long stretches–e.g. 2 weeks or more, so I know personally how much her services mean to me.
Jonann is hands down the BEST cat sitter I’ve had in my seven years with Callie.
“Jonann has a warm, loving and personal relationship with each of our three dogs. She understands, and appreciates their unique personalities. We have relied on Jonann for years now, and trust her implicitly.”
