Extra caring, loving, soft spoken

Pet care experience

I believe in the 3 A’s when caring for dogs. Affection, Attention, and Affirmations. I truly love dogs and enjoy their company immensely. I find they respond best to lots of attention (time spent and getting exercise), affection (loving pets, belly rubs, ear scratches), and affirmations (positive verbal feedback). I take my job very seriously and strive to do the very best I can to meet the needs of the client (both dog and pet parent). I am sensitive to any of your particular needs or wants and am more than happy to accommodate them. I grew up with dogs and cats so I have a lot of experience around them. I hope you give me a chance to care for your dog! Thank you!

Joy does a great job with my cats! I came home to a pair of very chill guys after she took care of them recently.

Joy is seriously the absolute best. Our two dogs just love her and her kids. She took us on last minute and was absolutely amazing as always! Communication is fast and she sends great pictures and updates throughout the day! Thanks again Joy! The girls love you all so much!

My dog Trilli loved Joy. She is kind and caring, and she is dependable. She was also kind enough to help us out at the last minute. I would definitely hire her again.
