Dedicated Dog and Cat Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have grown up surrounded by many animals from hedgehogs, and frogs, to dogs and cats. I grew up with a black labrador and 2 cats. Currently, I have 2 Newfoundlands and a cat at home. I often take care of them when my family is traveling. I prepare their meals (both dogs eat a raw diet), take them on walks, help groom them, play soccer, and sometimes we even dance! Most of my experience is with large dogs. But, I do spend time with smaller dogs from time to time. I have been walking dogs in New York City and Jersey City for the past year and a half. It is such a joy to interact with so many wonderful dogs. I am very excited to work with your furry family member!

Joy took such wonderful care of our 3 month old golden retriever Archie and sent us pictures of our little boy every day!

Joy was wonderful with our golden doodle. She took amazing care of her and kept us updated with lots of photos. We know she had a great time!

Joy was very attentive to Apple and Apple clearly was very happy from the daily pictures we received. Our time away was so much more enjoyable knowing Apple was in such good care!

Joy did an amazing job caring for my dog. She sent me tons of pictures and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout each day. I always get nervous leaving him because I don’t want him to be stressed, but he seemed to be having a blast in with Joy- which put my mind at ease! They went on tons of walks and played in her home. I will definitely reach out to her the next time I need a sitter.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the area surrounding my home. Currently, that involves taking a walk along the pier. Something that I don't think a lot of people know is that dogs are dancers! I love love love putting on some jams and then dancing with dogs. Once their tails start wagging I know they're hooked!
