Availability
I am a weekend sitter. I am available on weekends. Do you want to get away for the weekend or need to catch up on extra work or phone calls? Do want your dog to have a good walk and time as well? Reach out to me. I am available on the weekends! On weekdays, I cannot guarantee availability on all days, but I am occasionally available in the mornings and evenings if I am all caught up on my lesson planning. While I cannot guarantee full availability on all weekdays, feel free and ask! *note: I charge a $5 travel fee if outside my service radius to account for gas and time.

Safety, trust & environment
I currently am unable to have animals at my place of residence. This is one of the reasons I love taking care of your dog or cat so I can have some interaction with them.
Information Joy L. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog(s) have special needs? Does your dog leash pull or lunge at small animals? Is your dog food/toy aggressive? Do they show aggression towards other pets or unknown dogs/people (on walks)? Are they crate trained if this is your preferred method when leaving them? Are any of your pets escape artists? I love accommodate all these needs to provide stand-out service for you and your beloved friends.
A typical day
I love to play with your dog or cat. I actively play with dogs and cats for at least 20-25 min at drop ins so they can exercise and get stimulation while spending 5-10 min with litter cleaning & watering/food. I can do very brisk walks for active dogs.

Pet care experience
Since I was a kid, I have enjoyed spending as much time as I can with animals. In fact, one of my greatest joys is being with animals. My grandfather (who was a farmer for part of his life) impressed upon me the importance of caring for animals. I consider your pets my family. I have 9 years experience owning and working with a variety of pets including rats, cats, dogs, and tortoises! I have experience working with pets with anxiety and other special needs. My favorite part of drop ins & walks is the satisfaction of knowing I made a difference in your furry friend’s day. I have a calm and friendly demeanor, and I have great rapport with dogs and cats. I make it a point to read and interpret dog & cat body language. I have worked with skittish cats who warmed up to me. I love playing with cats and dogs alike, and understand how important it is for your friend to have his or her play time. If your pet has a favorite toy, let me know. I will cook or prepare raw food per your instructions if this is your preference. My availability is as follows: Mon-Sunday morning and/or evenings. May be able to do noon or afternoon. I want to do what you do, so I will take note of your walk or routine. Does your dog like brisk walks or slow walks, do they like to go to a nearby park or prefer walking in your neighborhood? Do you like to mix it up with a new spot each time? I strongly urge all bookings to have a meet & greet before the booking date in order to see how your pet takes to me. Special note: occasionally, the Rover app may estimate your distance from me being up to 5 or 6 miles off. This occasionally happens depending on where the client entered the information or where they were when they booked. I may ask you for general cross streets or zip code before I confirm a booking to ensure I will be able to accommodate your dog or cat. For bookings that are more than 10 miles distance, I do charge a $4 gas fee per booking. I treat your home with respect. I strive for cleanliness, and I take precautions to ensure the healthiest environment for you and your pet. This includes sanitizing my hands before entering your home, and washing my hands before pet feeding and watering.
Reviews
Joy is so great: communication, timeliness and most importantly loving my dog Wrigley. It is so nice to travel and know your doggy is being loved and cared for!
The Doodles loved their walk with Joy. She's very gentle and kind. Thank you.
Joy took such great care of my girl on her walk! Joy was very communicative during the meet & greet process and on the day of the walk.
We were fortunate that Joy was available on short notice to walk our dog for 2 days in a row. She was reliable, showing up on time, and did a great job of handling our energetic 60lb golden doodle. We highly recommend her!
