Safety, trust & environment

As someone who shares my home with two dogs, two cats, and my horse, Grayson, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pets with patience, kindness, and genuine love while following their routine as closely as possible. My goal is simple: for your pets to feel safe and for you to have complete peace of mind.

Information Joy & Kenneth P. would like to know about your pet

What I'd Love to Know About Your Pet Before Our Visit The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable and loved! Please let me know: 🐾 Their daily routine and feeding schedule 🐾 Favorite toys, treats, and activities 🐾 Any medications or health concerns 🐾 Allergies or dietary restrictions 🐾 Fears, anxieties, or triggers (thunder, fireworks, strangers, etc.) 🐾 How they interact with other animals and people 🐾 Any training cues or commands they know 🐾 Leash manners and favorite walking routes 🐾 Where they like to sleep or relax 🐾 Anything that helps them feel safe and happy while you're away Every pet has their own unique personality, and I want to make sure they receive the same love, patience, and routine they're used to at home. The more details you share, the better I can provide a fun, stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I love tailoring activities to their personality and energy level! Some of our favorite adventures include: 🐾 Neighborhood walks and sniffari adventures 🎾 Fetch, tug-of-war, and backyard playtime 🦴 Puzzle toys and enrichment games 💦 Splash time on warm days (if your pup loves water!) 🚗 Doggie daycare or park drop-offs (upon request) 🌳 Nature walks and exploring new trails 📸 Plenty of adorable photo updates for pet parents 🛋️ Cuddle time, belly rubs, and relaxing together for pets who just want companionship Whether your pet is an energetic explorer or a professional couch cuddler, I'll make sure they feel loved, engaged, and cared for while you're away.

Pet care experience

Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I currently care for my own horse, two wonderful dogs, and two beloved cats, so I understand firsthand that every pet deserves individualized attention, patience, and genuine affection. As a lifelong animal lover, I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses of all personalities—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets and large animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, companionship, or simply someone to love on them while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I also have a reliable truck, my husband, Ken, will often drive so I can entertain or furry guest. If your pet needs transportation to a veterinary appointment, doggie daycare, or grooming appointment, we can help. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. For Ken and me, caring for animals isn't just a job-it's what brings us joy.

Joy treats your animals like they are her own. She is incredibly responsible, communicative, and treats our animals as if they were her own. We have dogs, a cat and horses. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and attentive pet sitter!"

Joy is the absolute best caretaker for your fur baby. She has helped multiple times with our golden retriever - taking him to and from daycare, doing his home routine, taking him to the park, etc. She always sends photo updates and treats him as if he were her own. She's our first call when we go out of town and our pup just adores her. Thank you, Joy!
