Pet care experience
Certified Veterinary Technician
Hi! My name is Joy, and caring for animals is truly my passion. I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with nearly 10 years of hands-on experience providing reliable and compassionate care for dogs and cats of all ages. From energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and on their normal routine while you are away. I offer • Drop-in visits • Dog walks • House-sitting I am experienced with • Administering medications as prescribed • Senior pet care • Anxious or shy pets • Clear communication and consistent updates I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, while prioritizing safety, comfort, and reliability. I would love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if I am the right fit for you and your pets. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and enriching environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I follow routines closely, from feeding schedules and bathroom breaks to walks, playtime, and medications, and I always take the time to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I aim to maintain consistency so your pet experiences minimal stress while you are away. In my own home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly setup with plenty of love and attention, just as they would receive with family. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.
Ratings and reviews
Joy is great my old guy. she’s on time, responds quickly, and very professional. If you need someone to take care of your pet, I recommend Joy.
Absolutely fantastic
Joy stayed at my house for 2 weeks with my pups during my trip to Italy. She was easy to reach, sent me daily updates and photos of my dogs, often of activities they were doing together or simply cuddle time. She took time to get to know each one of them and understood how to bond with my “problem child” pup perfectly. Not only she was amazing with the pups, but she took great care of my house as well! I couldn’t recommend her enough! Thank u Joy!
Joy stayed at our house for over two weeks to take care of our pups! She did so amazing. Daily walk with the dogs, lots of snuggles and she shared many pictures/updates! She cleaned the house before she left and everything was very tidy! Will definitely book again.
Joy, took care of our two dogs while on vacation. She was absolutely amazing , our babies love her , she played with them , took on walks , fed and gave medication . She even took the younger pup to day care to play with his friends. When we arrived back home the house smelled wonderful . Joy had cleaned the house and left an adorable hand made gift for us . I will definitely have joy watch our babies next time we go out of town . AAA+++ service
Joy was wonderful! It is clear she has a passion for all animals. I booked her for house sitting in my home for 5 days and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. My two dogs are both bully breeds and can sometimes be a little more difficult but Joy did perfect! During our meet and greet she was very friendly and respectful, and took diligent notes on each of the dogs preferences as well as any preferences I had for them and my home. She played with them and exercised them daily, and made sure they were both loved up on just the way each of them likes while I was away. Each dog has a very different personality and she catered to each of their individual personalities and preferences so they could remain stress free while I was away. She was very communicative and responded right away if I needed to get ahold of her or had any questions at all. She sent me lots of pictures at my request as well so I didn’t have to miss my sweet fur babies as much. When I arrived home my dogs were happy, well taken care of and fed. My home was clean and well taken care of as well. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily life; it is second nature to me. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I am accustomed to starting and ending my day by checking on animals, giving medications, monitoring health, and providing enrichment and comfort. Whether I am at work or at home, caring for animals is a consistent and meaningful part of my routine. I am highly mindful of schedules, especially when it comes to feeding times, walks, playtime, and medication needs. Pet care is not something I squeeze into my day; it is something I approach with intention and love every single day.
