Heya!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Joy! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, and more since I was about 6. I’ve volunteered at rescues, worked on farms, and been trusted by friends and family to take care of their pets. I have experience with reactive and fearful animals as well as seniors with special needs.

Joy did a great job watching our pets while we were out of town. It takes then time to warm up to new people but they were great friends by the end of the first day. I appreciated the updates that I got while away.

Joy was great with my dog and accommodating for me and my wife’s last minute reservation. The videos and pictures she would send made us so happy because of how happy our dog looked.

Joy was wonderful with my 2 dogs. I have two small dogs that need a lot of attention. Joy took care of our dogs while we were on vacation for 2 week. I think they wanted her as a dog mom over me. lol I would recommend Joy to any family needing pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority with my animals, as well as yours. From snug collars on walks to managing resource guarding at meal time and keeping escapees inside. Boarding dogs will not interact with training dogs, or each other, if from different households.

Information Joy A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, and what their favorite toy/treat is! Do let me know if your dog is reactive to anything!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I always mix in obedience and impulse control while taking care of dogs, especially on outings. My dog and I frequent Keizer rapids and Willamette Mission State Park. Safety and fulfillment is always my top priority.
