Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is paramount! I am certified by the American Red Cross in Pet First Aid & CPR and carry basic fist aid supplies. Dogs are never off leash unless inside your house or fence and will never be introduced to other dogs without your permission. Locks and latches are double checked. Instructions are followed exactly and I always include an update with pictures at the end of each day.
Ratings and reviews
I know "perfect" doesn't exist, but I can't think of a better word to describe the pup caregiver that Joy is. She not only exudes love for our dogs but she is so knowledgeable! She clearly is a dog trainer and listed to the cues of our dogs and gave them the walks that each needed. She took our 14 year old dog with arthritis, Jax, out for a slow paced "sniff" walk for his enrichment and then came back and took our higher energy, Lola, out for a longer walk. There was one time where we saw Jax went out twice since she wanted to ensure he got his poop out. They were so happy and loved. Your fur babies are in the best of hands with Joy!
Carla is very prompt and professional. My puppy loves hanging out with her!
I have been traveling a lot lately and Carla is always prompt and not only does she feed my cat she plays with her for a while and sends adorable photos!
Joy is very thorough and makes us feel very comfortable leaving our furry family members in her care. Highly recommend Joy as a sitter!
Carla was very kind, courteous, and a joy to work with. Made a tremendous difference in the joy of my vacation. My best friends were the calmest I've ever seen them while away. Carla is timely, prompt, knowledgeable, and caring. Excellent and highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Joy and how well she cares for my puppy kids! Super thankful for her!
