Joy loving dog care and boarding!
Pet care experience
I am very passionate about animals, dogs and cats especially! Love them so much. Your fur babies will be so incredibly loved, adored, spoiled, and so happy by me when I am done with them and they return to you safe and sound. They are so important to me and I will treat them like I would for my own, well disciplined when misbehaving, loved, have fun with them, give them lots of attention and treat them with respect as well. I represent these animals on behalf of them and thier owners since they can't speak for themselves. You will be able to tell the difference in their attitude and behavior of how much love and attention they got from me. I love the outdoors and driving my friends dogs around because I don't like to leave them by themselves all the time. Dogs are family. I have so much passion for these beautiful animals. I hope to have these wonderful opportunity to show you guys. Please note that if there is any messes in my home, there will be a $20 to $30 fee additional to the total cost of my clean up fee. I have to use my cleaning supplies and they are not cheap. I would appreciate your help and understanding with this. I have learned this the hard way and will set this request upfront for pet sitting at my home. I love dogs and cats so very much and am so happy to do thus job. I hope this is a very reasonable request. Thank you all!
Reviews
Joy was excellent. She was responsible and really took loving care of our dog. She sent regular photos and communicated with us constantly which we appreciated. I would definitely use heragain and was fortunate to have had her available to us.
Joy was a wonderful person to deal with. She came over before the night she was going to watch our Max to meet all of us. We all got along well and we were pleased with our decision to use Joy. We most certainly will try and use her again if we need another night out.
I really hesitated to post a review because I found Joy to be extremely pleasant, kind, and wonderful with my dog. She left my house clean and was respectful. However if one had the same experience I had I'd hope they'd share it with other potential members. Unfortunately, our experience with her has not been as good as the others. We had let her know that our dog is not used to being home alone for long hours at a time. She understood that. But then, shortly after we left, she said she was going to run errands one of which included a doctors appointment. No problem. However, 4 hrs later she's still not back. I asked her how our dog was and she said she was just finishing up a few things. When I pressed further she said she was still needing to see her doctor then let out her own dogs. I told her I didn't want my dog to stay alone in the house for that long and I didn't get a response from her. At almost 6 hrs passed and she's still not back and I have no idea what's going on or when she's coming back. When she did respond it was "stuck in traffic" or "sorry things took longer than expected" but no real reasons as to whats taking so long. By hour 7 I'm EXTREMELY worried and upset. I tried calling and she's not picking up. She's not responding to my texts as quickly as I feel one should who's watching over a furry family member. I had to call my mother in law to go over and let my poor dog outside and to clean up any messes she may have made at this point. I flat out asked Joy if she was even coming back. She said again "Sorry almost there stuck in traffic" I called Rover emergency support and they told me she had already refunded half our money and that there was an injury. I was confused. They wouldn't share what kind of injury and you can only imagine what kind of worry this put me and my husband in. Still zero communicaton from Joy about this. I tried calling her one last time and she finally picked up and said she was sorry and that she injured her arm using the ball chucker and since it was an arm that had surgery recently she went to her doctor. She said she was embarrased to tell us which I find odd. I'm not sure why she felt the alternative was a better option. I accepted her apology of course, asked if she's ok, and asked when she'll be home. She was gone a total of just over 8 hrs. I spent more time worrying about the wellbeing of my dog than enjoying the trip which upsets me so much. My mind was preoccupied with worry and confusion. Although we liked her and felt she was a great fit, it was still a stranger in our home with our garage door opener and she's appearing to have ditched us while we're out of state. Very scary. I do feel she learned from this and don't think she'll make this mistake again. Our family would've completely understood what she needed to do if she would've just TOLD us. We are very caring and compassionate people and would've never held this against her. Although my husband feels her story about her arm is not real. My thoughts are, if she was this irresponsible with lack of communication than this is not someone we can trust to watch our precious family member again.
Joy us a wonderful person. I received daily pictures and reports. She took care of my dog the way I do. We'll use her again for our next trip.
