Hi, my name is Joni Bottari, and the King Shepherd in the picture is my big girl Jeri. She is a member of our family, and we love her dearly.

When I was 4 yrs old, my dad brought home a German Shepherd puppy, and that was it. I was hooked, and have been an advocate and lover of dogs ever since.

I was a professional dog walker in New Jersey for six years before moving to Delray Beach in 2007 to be with my family.

I got started in this business after agonizing over finding someone with whom I could trust my pet and my home to. Once I found the right person, I wondered, "How did I ever get along before?"

Grateful Dog is here to take away the guilt and worry you feel when leaving your pet behind whether it's while you're at work, out late, or a long weekend; you will have complete peace of mind knowing that your pets are in the hands of a person that cares. I take the safety of your dog and the security of your home very seriously. This is not a job to be taken lightly; I personally walk every dog - you and your dog will not have to worry about different dog walkers or several people having keys to your home.
