Some things about me: I do have a part time job, it is up to 6 hrs, 10-4 and my days off are friday and saterday. Other than my work schedule, 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. I will come home right after work, let dogs out, and make sure to feed the animals and let them out one more time before bed!

About Joy S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very flexible to spend most if not all my available time with your pets. I'll play with them either in their yard or in the house. I like to give them treats. After the initial sit, I offer baths and brushing for your dogs and cats at the end of the sits, depending if they are comfortable enough with me or not. However, if your dog or cat is heavily matted, I will not try to brush those out as they need proffessional grooming.
Information Joy S. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
If the client is comfortable with it, I would love taking them to a dog park to play and romp around with other dogs, only if they are NOT dog aggressive, or a separate fenced area to run and play with toys. I will take them on walks. If I was watching livestock, Horses and goats especially, I am usually found in the stall or pasture with them, just hanging out and giving them cuddles and scratches and treats, I love grooming horses.

Pet care experience
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 31, 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 ;) * For farms, my rate is $60/night. - That includes "farmwork", cleaning enclosures, stalls, pastures, cages, coops, feeding, watering, any grooming, all the love. If you just have a small/hobby "farm", just a few chickens, rabbits, or 1-2 livestalk, lets talk! Im flexible :)

Joy was very attentive to my fur babies while away. She shared many photos and communicated daily. Definitely use her again in the future. Thank you Joy
Joy was great with our dog and very responsive to communication- would recommend her!
Joy did a wonderful job on watching our little senior pug! She sent pictures and communication was fabulous! We had a happy little dog when we got home and she was respectful to our home! Definitely would recommend her! We will use her again for future trips! Thank you again for the great care!💓
Joy did an excellent job pet sitting our dogs! Kept me updated and sent pictures of them and also came home to a clean house!
