Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Pet Care- Dogs, Cats, etc.
I have over six years of experience pet sitting both dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and family. I’m especially comfortable with cats and understand their personalities and boundaries, but I love caring for dogs of all sizes as well. I’ve also cared for more unique pets, including raising and caring for a pigeon for 3 years, as well as a rabbit for 1 year, so I’m experienced with exotic animals and attentive to different species’ needs. As a nurse, I’m naturally observant, responsible, and calm in unexpected situations. I pay close attention to pets’ behavior, feeding routines, and comfort so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. My home has plenty of space for pets to roam, including a basement and backyard area where they can relax and explore safely. I also live right beside a park and a beautiful walking trail, which makes it perfect for dogs who enjoy regular walks and outdoor time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect your space and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, and activity needs carefully so your pet feels secure and well cared for while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Joy took care of my dog and two cats for about three years, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. From daily walks to feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure everyone got enough attention, she handled everything consistently and with so much care. My pets absolutely loved her and were always excited to see her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind whenever I was away. What really stood out about Joy was how attentive and responsible she is. She noticed small changes in my pets’ behaviour, kept me updated, and always made sure they stayed on their usual routines. My dog got regular walks and playtime, and my cats were always well cared for and comfortable in their space. Joy is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their pets. I always felt completely confident leaving my pets in her hands.

Schedule
I’m a nurse and work a mix of day and night shifts, which actually makes my schedule very flexible. Because of this, I’m often available during times when other sitters may not be, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight depending on the week. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, or overnight care depending on your pet’s needs. I’m reliable with schedules and always prioritize making sure pets stay on their normal routine.
