Safety, trust & environment

When providing pet care services in my client's home, my approach is centered on creating a comfortable and safe environment for their beloved pets. I meticulously follow any specific instructions or preferences provided by the client. This includes maintaining their pet's daily routines, such as feeding, exercise, grooming, and playtime. My utmost priority is ensuring their pets feel secure and receive the same level of attentive care they would in their own home.

Joy does an amazing job caring for our dog and two cats. We can relax while traveling because we know they are happy and well cared for. Joy communicates daily with photos and updates, and she leaves our house in an immaculate condition. It is a pleasure to have her!

Joy is an excellent dogsitter. We appreciated all the pre-work and preparation that she suggested to make the experience safe and happy for both the dogs and the humans. She stayed with our puppy for three nights. Her communication was excellent. She left our house spotless. We really appreciate all her hard work.

When our original pet sitter had to cancel within just a couple weeks of our long-planned vacation abroad, we popped onto Rover and began looking for someone to take care of our pets. With not just our dog, but also two bunnies, we needed someone who was experienced with rabbits too! We saw Joy’s posting and reached out. Even though she was leaving for her own trip, she squeezed in a last-minute visit to meet with us, which we greatly appreciated. We felt very comfortable leaving our little guy and girls in Joy’s care. Joy was wonderful in keeping us up-to-date with a nightly report and photos. It was so comforting knowing that our pets were in such good hands and we didn’t need to worry. She followed all the details on the notes we left and asked questions when she had a few. We came home to a well-kept house and happy pets! So glad we found such a caring, trustworthy, and reliable sitter. Thank you again!
