Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has a spacious balcony if your pet likes to sunbathe and a fenced dog park right next door. I keep noise levels low, perfect for any pets that need peace and quiet to relax. I have a large bathroom that can comfortably house any new kitties while they adjust to a new boarding situation while giving them extra distance between their play area, food, and litter box. I’m also a cat mom to Bean, who’s a bit nervous around strange humans but loves other pets.

Had a great experience connecting with Joy for some weekend drop in visits for my senior chihuahua. She left detailed notes and great photos of her visits and followed all instructions perfectly. 💗

Joy is the person who inspired me to begin fostering and eventually have my own pet. She is diligent, thoughtful, and caring, and has three pets of her own. No one will take better care of your fur baby. Joy pays close attention to detail and really treats animals as a person—she cares about their thoughts, is attentive to even little changes in their behavior, and will go above and beyond to make them comfortable and happy. She has significant experience pet sitting, and has obtained a doctoral degree. She is well-rounded, easy to work with, and professional. She is great at keeping an owner up to date on what is going on, and treating your home as carefully as she would her own. In short, a pet owner would be in great hands, and a pet would have a fantastic baby sitter.
