Pet care experience

Loving care when your not there

Hello, My name is Joy. My Life's passion is caring for animals, I am happiest to just be with them! I have 11 years experience of pet care, working on a farm with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, jersey cows,Angus cattle,horses,sheep, goats,pigs,pot belly pigs,chickens,chicks,ducks, rabbits, bunnies,Emu,zebras...You name it, I've probably taken care of it! I've had my pet sitting side gig for 3-4 years now. I am 32, I have yet to meet someone who doesn't call me sweet, and I think old people are the cutest thing ever, aside from puppies & kittens, of coarse. My desire someday is to work in a wildlife rescue, zoo, or/and own my own property to create a hobby farm/mixed animal boarding facility with fenced acreage for dogs and other animals to run around on and play. Thank you for considering me to watch your fur babies! Have a furbulous day ;)

I dont take them anywhere without permission. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats.

Joy did a wonderful job with our 3 dogs. She went above & beyond for one of our dogs that got injured, while keeping the other 2 happy. She took good care of the house as well.

Joy is fantastic!!! She provided regular photo updates of our dogs. This really helped to put my mind at ease. The dogs loved Joy! I had piece of mind that they were happy in their own home. We will absolutly have her back anytime!

Schedule

I do have a full time job. Other than that, your pets will get the rest of my time. I will make sure to spend enough time in the mornings caring for your pets, taking them out, spending time with them, going for a walk or playing or cuddling before I have to go. After i get back, I will let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Joy can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I need to know any animal have any aggression behavior so I can deal with those animals accordingly while staying safe. Allergies so I know what to stay away from. If they do ok with baths and brushing, same with Horses. I will use my judgment whether I end up bathing a pet. If they are not comfortable with me yet, I won't risk my safety or their growing trust in me. I will only deal with well behaved farm animals.
