Highlights
Pet care experience
I own a dog; have dog sat for years
I've taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years, in many different locations. I've always had a pet, both growing up and now, both cats and dogs. I've also lived on a farm so worked with all kinds of animals.

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.
Ratings and reviews
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.
This is the first time we had Joy come and stay with our dogs while we were out of the country. First of all she was available to stay at our house through Christmas Day. When she came to meet the dogs, Waldo, our reserved Australian shepherd, jumped up in her lap. She was great at communicating and sent lots of pictures. The dogs were happy to see us when we got home but the JRT kept looking for her in the guest room. She washed towels and sheets and remade the bed! We will definitely use Joy again. Pretty much perfect Rover experience.
Joy is amazing! She went above and beyond watching my 3 goldens. My oldest girl gets in a habit of not eating when we leave and she sat with her while she ate so she would eat. ❤️ My pups absolutely adored her and I appreciated how trustworthy she is. We will definitely use her in the future!

Schedule
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.
