Warm & Caring Animal Lover

Pet care experience

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 13 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!

Joy is fantastic. One of my pets is very sociable while the other gets scared pretty easily. Joy does a great job of giving both of them quality time, even if it means talking to the shy one hiding under the bed. I’d strongly recommend Joy.

We have used Joy many times to take care of our 2 cats and she always does an awesome job. The cats get lots of love and playtime. Joy updates us daily with little anecdotes and pictures. She is a great communicator and alerts us if she has any concerns about the cats or the house. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls!
