Joy walks our dog a couple times a week. She is punctual and has great communication, and it is obvious that she loves dogs! We know he is being well cared for ♥️

Joy house sat for us for a week. She was great with our senior dog, who has some anxiety issues. She gave him walks and lots of snuggle time. She was great with sending photo updates while we were away. She also looked after the house well. We would definitely use her again!

Joy took great care of my cat and left my apartment spotless! I appreciated the communication and updates on how my cat was doing, and would absolutely use her again.

Joy has been an attentive, loving caretaker of our cat (11 years old) and dog (7 years) for more than 5 years. She ensures they are fed, watered, groomed, exercised, and given more than their fair share of TLC. She is also much more adept than I am at giving them any needed medications, using a mix of patience, softness, and skill. I also appreciate that she takes lots of photos for me to see how their days are going when I'm not around. I highly recommend her!
