Our Labrador had a wonderful stay with Joy. He already misses her. Thank you, Joy, for taking such good care our boy.

I highly recommend Joy for your pet-care needs! I have known her for over 25 years, and she is a trustworthy, patient, and deeply committed dog lover. Joy is exceptionally reliable and even steps in to care for pets when owners are away on holiday or in hospice palliative care.She recently watched my 14-week-old puppy, Dax, while I was out of town, and gave me complete peace of mind (even though I had major separation anxiety!). Joy respects every dog's individual boundaries and personality. Plus, because she is so active, your pet will get plenty of exercise, fun outdoor exploration, and socialization. Joy is truly a gem and your dog will be in the best possible hands!

I've had the pleasure of watching my mum care for dogs my entire life, and I honestly can't think of anyone I'd trust more with a pet. She's owned and loved dogs of all breeds, ages and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. She's the first person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their dogs because they know they'll be treated like one of her own. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, she goes above and beyond. She's incredibly patient, reliable and has a natural way with animals. Dogs seem to gravitate towards her, and it's easy to see why. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely care for your dog as if they were family, I couldn't recommend Joy more.

I am happy to recommend Joy as a pet sitter. She is reliable, patient and has always shown her own pets a great deal of love and caring. Joy is trustworthy and dependable and I would have complete confidence leaving my pet in her care .
