I love both dogs and cats!

Pet care experience

My family and I have had 2 dogs and found it a joy and privilege to raise them and give them a good long life. I also have a cat that I take care of frequently so I am both a dog and cat person! I look forward to meet both you and your furry friends and hope to take part in caring for them as well. I have been part of Wag! and Rover since 2017 for dog walking and mainly dog boarding. I am now in college and back in the dog walking business on the side as well as drop ins (for cats, too!). Thank you for your trust and business!

Joy is a fantastic and responsible pet sitter anyone can trust. We are quite inexperienced with pet sitting service and Joy has put us at ease by being super professional and approachable for questions. My kitties were shy but they love seeing Joy!

Joy did a great job feeding Albus. She was very thorough in getting the requirements from me and communicated well with messages and photo updates. I recommend her for anyone else needing cat feeding/check-in services.

Love Joy!! I’ve booked her 5 times already. She is flexible with drop off and pick up times, sends photo updates and listens / adheres to my dog’s specific care needs. Would recommend, just don’t book her when I need her lol (;

Safety, trust & environment

Meet and greets are a great way to show me the ropes when it comes to your specific companion(s) as well as having them become familiar with me before taking care of them by myself. I like to make notes on each pet regarding their food portions, personality, behaviors and special needs if necessary.

Information Joy A. would like to know about your pet

I prefer easy going dogs with good behavior. I don’t mind a little pulling from small or medium sized dogs. I also don’t mind gentle giants (larger dogs that don’t pull, chase, or bark often). Please let me know if your dog is shy, or if you would prefer that I keep them away from other dogs and/or children. I’m more than happy to cater to their needs.

A typical day

I love to take long walks with them and hang out at a park if possible to have them socialize (with permission from you, of course) and explore!

Availability

I currently work part time, and my schedule for that updates every two weeks, so recurring weekly dog walks are not ideal, however, drop ins (for cats) can be possible on days I work as long as it can be flexible. Dog walks are ideal for days I’m off work. You may use my calendar as reference (unavailable days are when I have work).
