Safety, trust & environment

When I care for your pet in your home, I stick to the routine you have for them, and I am happy to clean up animal waste as well. I will feed, brush, cuddle, and play with your furry family member. When I take your dog on a walk, I let them walk, run, and sniff at their own pace. I am skilled in keeping an eye on the environment around me and steering them clear of any dogs or situations that might be stressful for them. I love rainy walks, so if that is something your dog enjoys, we will have the time of our lives! I prefer to use a body harness when walking your dog.

Happiness, Well-being, & Safety

Pet care experience

Reactive? High energy? Anxious? I've got you covered! My dog Noodle, my best friend, was an amazing, high energy cattle dog. My little guy Scout was extremely reactive when he came into my life five years ago. Now, he's only slightly reactive. Then there's sweet, anxious Korra. Sometimes she gets so scared on our walks that I have to carry her for a bit. I love the world of cats and dogs, and I especially love working with rescues. If they're shy or anxious, I wait for them to approach me. Even the most apprehensive ones will eventually come out of hiding to make my acquaintance, and we always form the best of friendships. When I take a dog on a walk, it's all about the dog. My role is to steer them clear of triggers and make sure they don't do anything unsafe. They get to choose the route and where to sniff when at all possible. I'm here to give your furry family member companionship, care, and love while you're gone.

Our dog Rita loved her walk with Joy! Thank you for the help! Joy is great at reading dog energy and she was able to walk Rita without issue.

Joy provided walks for our GSD while his main walker was away. She did a fantastic job providing us detailed report cards for the walks and also gave some love to our kitty babies as well. We were extremely pleased with her help and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a friendly, dependable, and caring pet caretaker.
