Will love them like my own

Update 9.27.21 - Moving to South Carolina next month, and no longer able to take dogs in the Asheville area. I have loved animals since I was a small child. I have had many dogs and cats as pets. Right now I have one small senior dog and two cats. My dog is Dixie, a Malti-poo. I have sat for dogs and even a pet rat. Animals can tell that I'm a person who is comfortable and happy to be around them. Your pet will be treated as if it was my own. I would love to take care of your pets while you are at work or away. If you have more than 2 pets I am willing to help on the rates. Please contact me and we'll work it out.

Joy was amazing to Captain, she sent me the cutest pictures of him and I could tell he really enjoyed her visits. He was all smiles!

We have used Joy more than once, and she is phenomenal! Our pup loves her so much. She is dependable and very communicative. We used her for a week for multiple drop-ins daily, and it was such an ease to our mind knowing our older pup could stay home while we were away. Joy will always be our number one choice when we need a dog sitter!

Joy was wonderful! She came by before we left to meet us and our kitties. I even got our dates mixed up but she was able to accommodate us which I am very grateful for! She understood our 4 cat’s different personalities - and gave them the love and attention they each wanted. Would definitely recommend Joy!
