Pet care experience

Your Dog & Cat’s New Pal (big yard)

I have hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats of different temperaments: from high energy dogs to more independent or shy cats. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s structured walks, playtime, or a calm, quiet environment. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication, and I always treat pets with patience and respect. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping routines consistent so your pet feels secure and at ease. I’ve had animals my whole life, and have raised them from newborn states to adulthood. I often cat sit for family and others trust me with their animals. My years of experience entail the journey of pet ownership, and the taking in of stray animals and nursing them to health.

I’ve used Joy for cat sitting on multiple occasions while I’ve been out of town, and she’s been consistently reliable every time. Traveling is always easier knowing my cats are in good hands, and Joy really gives that peace of mind. She does a great job keeping everything clean, sticking to feeding schedules, and making sure the cats are comfortable and cared for. It’s clear she pays attention to the little details, and my cats warmed up to her quickly—which says a lot. On top of that, she’s easy to communicate with and keeps me updated while I’m away, which I really appreciate. Overall, I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a dependable and trustworthy cat sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities. I truly love spending time with animals, so I would make sure to care for your baby truly. I have a dog named Bella, which has given me daily, hands on experience with responsible pet care and maintaining a structured routine. Pets can be separated if need be, due to the size and set up of my home. I also have a large fenced in yard so your pet can receive some fresh air, vitamin D, and play time. I keep a clean and pet-safe space and pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level. I follow all care instructions carefully and prioritize consistency, supervision, and a low stress environment so every pet feels secure.
