Joy can care for
Availability
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.

About Joy S.

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.
Information Joy S. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to understand your pet’s daily routine, any medical conditions, medications, allergies, and unique behavior traits, especially relating to feeding, other animals, or new people. I also like to know what comforts your pet, what may cause stress, and any training cues you use. The more information you can share, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet safe, happy, and relaxed.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet includes plenty of love, structure, and enrichment. I begin by checking in on their basic needs, including food, water, medication if required, and a brief wellness check. Then it is time for play or a walk tailored to their energy level and personality. For cats, that may include feather toys, puzzle activities, or relaxed window watching. Throughout the day, I provide gentle affection, calm companionship, and meaningful mental stimulation, whether through play, cozy cuddle time, or opportunities to explore new scents and toys. I also send updates and photos so you can enjoy seeing your pet happy and thriving while you are away.

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.
