Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Trainer, Aspiring Cat Whisperer
**For drop in visits 15 minutes or less, please inquire about discounted rates** I have over 6 years of experience training dogs, including both puppies and adults, in a variety of behaviors and tricks (eg. sit, lie down, quiet down, etc). Growing up, my family had both toy breeds and mastiffs, so I am comfortable with different sizes of dogs!
Cat care experience
Joy also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Before meeting your pet, I like to ask questions about their routine to try to keep them on schedule and more comfortable while they’re missing you! I am an animal nerd and I have studied dog and cat body language to make them feel more at ease — they have a lot to say even though they can’t talk to us with words! I am also an amateur pet photographer and I will send you pictures and/or videos of what they’re up to :)
Ratings and reviews
Joy is always amazing! One of our kitties got a little sick right before a trip and, with the vet’s permission, Joy took great care of her. Out kitty is NOT easy to medicate but Joy was an absolute champ and took care of it every single evening. We came home to a VERY happy and healthy kitty ❤️ And we were able to go on our trip with zero stress because Joy provided constant updates, which makes this very paranoid pet parent much calmer.
Thank you so much for checking on Frankie a few weekends ago!
Joy did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were away!
Joy was great and stepped up at the last minute! She sent pictures of our kitties during each visit and everything looked great upon our return! Will definitely ask her back.
Upon returning, my cats were noticeably very taken care of and happy. I received so many pics to placate my worries about leaving my two cat fur babies behind. Joy is someone whom you can trust. Highly recommend!
Joy is an amazing communicator. She goes the extra mile to make sure our pets are taken care of. We’ve worked with her multiple times and have always had an incredible experience. If you’re looking for 5-star care for your pets, look no further, you’ve found the one!

Schedule
I work remotely so I am happy to come hang out with your furry friends in mornings, afternoons, and/or evenings. I have a very flexible schedule and am also available on weekends. While I have limited availability for overnight visits in Summer 2026, I am able to provide other care in the pet’s home so that they’re in a comfy, familiar place with a new person! (Please inquire if you want me to clarify anything, and I am happy to discuss what is possible)! I often do quick drop in visits, and longer visits for socialization as well, and I can adjust my schedule to best meet your pet’s needs.
