Your babies will be our babies!

Pet care experience

UPDATE: Please fully complete your babies profile and pictures before booking. This saves everyone's time. I will not respond to a blank profile. thanks! Thanks for stopping by! Huge update! I moved to St Petersburg FL! I became a dog sitter when I moved into an apartment 13 years ago. The owners dogs loved me and then everyone wanted me! I'm in an apartment and still love caring for your fur babies. We take several walks throughout the day. I treat your babies like they're my own. They become part of my pack whilst you're away. I hate to say it, but they won't miss you. They'll be so loved and welcomed. I provide healthy snacks, fun toys, and my time and attention. I do grant exceptions but I like a proper meet n greet.

Ruthie had a blast with Joy! We are pretty sure she didn’t want to come back home with us after her 7 day slumber party at Joys place. Joy took amazing care of our baby and was always sharing photos and sending updates multiple times throughout the day. Thank you, Joy, for taking such great care of miss Ruthie! She is already asking when she can go back!

Tugboat feels comfortable with Joy and--a real surprise here since he doesn't generally like animals--with Joy's dog, Darcy. We're grateful to have found Joy and have no hesitation leaving our beloved pet in her care.

Well, what can I say? Joy is a joy! My partner and I are so glad to have found her through Rover. Joy and her sweet Darcy met us as soon as we pulled up with our Tugboat. After a few minutes of "getting to know" you talking--and sniffing--Joy invited us inside to see where are boy would be staying. (A previous sitter we met wouldn't allow us inside, which we considered a red flag.) After just a few minutes in Joy's pet friendly home, we felt comfortable enough to leave our Tuggie with her when we went out of town. She sent frequent updates, including pictures, while we were away . . . all of which demonstrated that our Tugboat was doing fine. By the end of our vacation, we wondered if Tuggie might refuse to leave Joy when we came to pick him up! We are so confident in Joy's talents as a dog sitter that we've booked her again for a much longer stay.
