Pet care experience

Your baby will be my baby

Hi friends! I’ve been a devoted pet sitter for over 16 years. It all started when I moved into an apartment and somehow became best friends with everyone’s dogs. Before I knew it, I was the go-to sitter for the entire complex and I’ve been caring for pets ever since. While I’m not offering boarding at this time, I specialize in in-home pet and house sitting. I pretend I live in your home and care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment, keeping routines consistent and stress low. I also treat your home with the same respect. Clean, secure, and just as you left it. When you’re away, your pets become part of my pack. They’re loved like family. I bring fun toys, plenty of attention, and a whole lot of reassurance. I hate to say it… they may not miss you too much 😉 They’ll feel safe, adored, and very aware they’re with Auntie Joy 🐾💛

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your babies and home as if they're mine. Love, care, and respect. Lot's of snuggle time! Playtime! I supervise feedings. I take great pride (being 5 🌟) and honor having a huge clientele repeats being in their home.

We loved getting all the pictures and videos. It was clear that our babies were being well loved in our absence. Joy was very respectful of our home and wishes. Jack and Callie can't wait to have Auntie Joy come back!

Joy took such great care of my dog and home for the weekend! It put my mind at ease knowing she was taking care of things. She kept me updated and sent me pictures and even handled some meds for my senior dog. So very thankful for Auntie Joy!

Joy takes care of my pets as if they were her own. So appreciative to not have to stress about them when I’m away. She send updates several times a day.

Joy treated my two dogs and cat like family. The frequent picture updates let me know how things were going. Will absolutely be booking with Joy again.

Joy is the absolute BEST petsitter I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with. She loved my baby like her own and sent me multiple daily updates with videos and pics (which is what I wanted!). She’s so good, I swear my girl has been missing her since I’ve been home LOL thank you Joy!
