Joy was a great housesitter and took great care of our pup while we were traveling. She sent us lots of pics the whole time and kept us in the loop about how things were going at the house. We had a water issue at the house while she was staying, and she was great about communicating with us to get everything sorted out. Came back to a clean house and a happy pup :) would absolutely recommend!

Joy went above and beyond for my senior kitty (who normally does not like strangers). She took amazing care of her, got her to take her medicine, spent time making sure she was comfortable, and was incredibly communicative to put us at ease! It made traveling so much easier knowing Sadie was well taken care of.

Loki caused some trouble, but looked like he had a lot of fun with Joy and she handled everything that came up and left me with a clean house and washed sheets

Such an amazing person to work with! Super dependable, great communication, goes above and beyond in every way imaginable. We had an emergency with my cat and Joy was amazing. She was communicating through every step and handled the situation easily. 100% would recommend!

Joy has been amazing!!! We had a sit scheduled and we ended up having to cancel and she was so kind and understanding. We rescheduled and everything was perfect! Lots of pics and updates- Our dog can be shy and she took to Joy immediately and even did all her tricks for treats! Can’t say enough good things… if you need a great sitter and amazing person, please contact Joy!

Joy took very good care of both my puppies and went to special lengths to try to tempt my old girl into eating, I really appreciated that.

A typical day
