Pet care experience
Warm & Caring Animal Lover
Hi there! Although I didn't grow up with pets, I have made up for it in my adult life. I've had cats for almost 21 years and a dog for 14 years. I volunteer and foster with local rescues & have watched friends / families cats and dogs. I'm the one that usually always has to talk to and play with the dog or cat at someone's house. I love being outdoors and walking dogs. I have a flexible schedule, so I'm sure I can help with whatever your needs are. I would love to play, walk, feed, visit your dog or cat and give them the love and cuddles they need while you are away. I am patient and loving and will treat your furbabies like one of my own. I would continue with whatever training or rules you have for your pet. I have a small dog, Lita and 2 foster fail cats, Bliss and Zion. They are all cool with visiting animals in my house. And I can also stay at your house overnight. I hope to meet you soon and give your cat or dog some loving and cuddles!

Ratings and reviews
Joy took great care of our dog and communicated well and sent lots of photos. Thank you!
I can't say enough about how great Joy is with dogs. I don't want to say too much or I won't be able to book her, but trust me, if you want a safe place to put your dog, it's here.
Thank you, Joy! It was a wonderful peace of mind knowing the boys were in good hands while we were away.
We just moved to the Twin Cities and needed someone to watch our dog for a few hours to close on a house. Our dog needs to be near someone if she’s not in her home. Our girl immediately felt at home with Joy. When I went to pick her up I could see she was content on the couch.
Joy is always one of the first sitters I reach out to when I’m heading out of town. She’s great with my cat and rolls well with all his quirks. She’s also great at communicating and makes coordination for key exchanges easy.
Joy was great with my Tonka. Truly appreciate her taking on a puppy! Loved that she had several other dogs for Tonka to socialize and play with.

I actually work from home full time with a very flexible schedule, so your pups will have company from me and my animals in the house all day long.

I am home all day and am able to give them attention, potty breaks, walks. I also have a 6 foot privacy fence in my backyard. So lots of room to run around and sniff and play!
