Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover
I grew up with many different types of animals. Dogs, fish, horses, birds, gerbils, cats. I loved them and cared for them all. I understand the value of a loving pet and the attention and care they need. I feel like an animal is part of the family and cherish the bond between them and their owner. I’m easy going and active. I used to do dog massages for my elderly dog to help her with her joint pains and muscles aches. I’m responsible, follow directions well and pay attention to details. I’m pretty flexible and can work with your schedule to make the experience of leaving your loved one to someone that will care for them like you will. I look forward to help you meet your animals needs.

Joy was a wonderful sitter for our boys. Responsive and attentive, she did not hesitate to reach out with concerns as needed. More than once we spotted Joy on camera giving extra attention to our very attention-needy boy. Thanks for everything❤️
