I am currently stationed at Lackland and work during the week. I will be available in the evenings and on the weekends. And can housesit if you live near Lackland. I love walking and playing with dogs, especially when it's cooler out. It's always a win to me when they're exhausted and just want to sleep when they get back into the house.

About Joy K.

Communication

2 repeat pet parents
76% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour

Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I can take your dog for a walk, depending on the weather of course (I will never make a dog walk when it's super hot out), I let them out in the yard if it is too hot. I will make sure to follow the rules of your home with your pet, whether it be crate for bed or allowed on furniture. I will make sure to give attention to your animals while I'm at your home, lots of love and cuddling and playing.

Information Joy K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special requirements when it comes to diet/exercise/meds. I will make sure to follow your instructions/plan that you have for your dog(s). I also like to know if your dog is okay with other dogs. I have experience with dogs who don't get along with other dogs and will always keep them close on walks/anywhere we are.

A typical day

I love to stimulate pets physically and mentally (I have a cousin who is a vet tech/trainer who I get a lot of ideas from). And if there are things that you do I will follow your lead while watching your dog. I do like to find trails/hiking spots to walk with dogs, especially when it's cooler outside.

Joy is great at communicating and letting us know how our babies are doing. Remi and Oliver really enjoy her company.

We reached out to Joy for a last minute request. She was able to accommodate scheduling a 'meet and greet' quickly and agreed to watch our two pups. She stayed in touch regularly and took great care of our dogs. She definitely went above and beyond. Will be requesting Joy again, for sure!

Joy was absolutely amazing! Our pup and cat were so cared for. She took time to get to know them both, hung out with them, and was great at following instructions! Joy played a lot with our pup that has quite a bit of energy, she was also great at communicating sending pictures. We would absolutely love to have her pet sit again!

Joy has been very attentive and helpful in getting our pup Remi ready for her house sitting stay. With just 2 visits I see Remi’s enthusiasm for her arrival, wiggling his butt and happy tail wags. We’re excited to have a caring person like Joy take care of our pup while we are away.
