Animal-loving fam of 7 here for you

Pet care experience

We are a military family that moves around, so we don't have big pets, but we sure do love them! We have watched friends' dogs for multiple days several times. At our house, your pet will have five kids--ranging from 5 to 13 years old--ready to dote on, play with, and care for them--with adult supervision, of course. They all beg to pet every dog or cat we pass on walks or at the park or in pet stores. We have a large, fenced-in backyard for them to run around, or spacious living if it's too cold to be outside. We also have a park in our neighborhood with a big field where we can go play. There is always someone at home, so your pet will never be alone. You have no need to worry about leaving your furry friend in our attentive care! We are willing to accept more than one dog or cat from the same owner. We are excited to take care of your dog or cat!

We had never left Roja with someone for more than 3 days. Joy suggested a meet n greet beforehand and immediately put us at ease at the meet n greet. When we left she was empathetic about having to leave our girl with someone for that long of a stay. When we were gone she sent regular updates and photos. We’ll definitely use Joy in the future for Roja. Thank Joy & family for taking such great care of or our girl!
