Lots of pets and cuddles. We will follow your requested routine and make sure everyone is happy. I love to get them outside and walk, explore smells, or go for a run.

Joy has always been taking care and helping animals as long as I've known her. She will bottle feed tiny baby kittens or take in hurt animals both wild and domestic. She fosters dogs, cats, birds and more. She has bottle fed baby cows and goats. Joy has cared for all types of animals. Not only that but she has had many animals herself. Dogs, cats, horses, snakes, lizards, mice, chickens, and ducks. Her gentle nature makes animals trust her and her loving spirit brings them comfort. I've seen her pull her car over to grab a tarantula and move it to the side so it didn't get run over. She loves all animals and it shows. When my family goes out of town she has cared for my animals as well. I trust Joy to care for my animals 1000% and if I have a animal question she is usually my first call.

Joy is… well an absolute JOY!! She is the only person I truly trust to watch over my fur-babies. She is zesty and full of life and will take care of your pets as if they are her own family. Joy is truly a wonderful pet-sitter and I would recommend her again and again for all your sitting needs.
