Pet care experience

Responsible,loving, & trustworthy!

Hi, I’m Joy! I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom is a veterinarian, so I grew up learning how to care for pets with attention and compassion. I truly love both dogs and cats and treat every animal like my own. I have a background in healthcare, so I’m very comfortable with pets who need a little extra support. I have experience caring for senior animals, administering medications, and even giving injections when needed. You can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. I enjoy being active and love getting outside for walks, making sure your dog gets both exercise and attention. I’m also very clean, organized, and respectful of your home. I’ll always leave things tidy and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family

Animal lover with lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up with veterinary care in my home (my mom is a vet) and have a strong background in healthcare, which makes me comfortable with senior pets, medications, and special care needs, including injections if needed. I’m active and enjoy daily walks, and I’m very attentive to routine and safety. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I also keep spaces clean and organized and treat every home and pet with respect. References available upon request.
