Pet care experience
Since childhood my parents have instilled care and responsibility. I wanted to be a vetinarian when I grew up but ended up being a nurse. I have had dogs all throughout life. I have two dogs now. When i dog sit for your furry friend I have arrangements for my dogs and they will not be neglected. I can work with animals who are disabled and or need to take medication. I am familiar with seizures and i can give injections if part of the medication plan. I think dogs well animals in general respond to me well. Humans patients are the same way. I think they can feel that I am looking out for their best interest. Which is why each animal is charged at the same rate per specie. I would not give half effort to additional animal if you have them so that is why charges are equal. Over 3 animals we can negotiate prices. Right? You can negotiate rates? That part may be updated. I am also able to lift about 350? Not dead lift. But like tilt and put on a rolling device. So if you have a lame great dane who can not walk, as long as you also have some device that is used. Then I too can assist you.
Reviews
I have had the pleasure to work with Joy and she is the most caring and compassionate person. She is reliable, friendly, and genuinely cares for your pets and their families. I highly recommend her to family and friends, you will not be disappointed.
Joy and I both became pet parents around the same time, and I was a first time dog mom, I had quite a bit of anxiety leaving my baby alone for any length of time. Joy was my go to person to watch my Nutmeg whenever I had to go out of town. She obviously cares for dogs, and provides incredible well balanced care for my pup. Going to Joy’s was like having a spa day for my Nutmeg. She even sent photos and updates, which I appreciated!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fensed in yard. The neighborhood has plenty of ground area for pottying. There is a big human park down the street but I have a long leash that I can connect so the dog can still feel like they are free. I have dogs as well and during the introduction phase I will muzzle them or separate them from your furry depending on dispositions. I have baby gates up in the dog room as well as a xl crate. There is also a baby gate for the kitchen. The house is dog friendly in the sense that where they can go is pretty obviously layed out for them. I can do training if you would like sit stay basics. All dogs 45lbs or more will be walked for toileting. Dogs 45lbs or or less will use the backyard mostly and get an excercise walk daily or however their parents want.

A typical day
My hours are from 11am to 10pm for drop in and overnights avail are from Monday evening to Thursday night. During this time we will do what they want to do. High energy then lets go explore or play a sniff and find. Low energy? How about a doggy massage to losen up some muscles and make that relaxation that more enjoyable. I like to sit on the floor at their level and interact with them and learn their personalities
