I work full-time, but I carefully plan pet care around my schedule to ensure every pet receives attentive, dependable care and plenty of love. I’m very organized with my routine and make time for walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and quality attention before and after work, as well as throughout evenings and weekends. Because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals, pet sitting is something I intentionally make space for in my life — not something rushed or treated as an afterthought. I’m committed to making pets feel comfortable, cared for, and secure while keeping owners updated and reassured along the way.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine and create a calm, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I understand that pets feel safest in familiar surroundings, so I focus on keeping their schedule consistent with feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. I’m respectful, responsible, and attentive while staying in someone’s home, and I treat both pets and the home with great care. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners can feel reassured knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

Loving Care While You're Away

Pet care experience

I have extensive dog sitting experience and a genuine love for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for energetic puppies, laid-back seniors, anxious dogs who need extra patience, and everything in between. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away, and I always strive to create a calm, caring environment for them. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, playtime, crate routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving dogs the attention and affection they deserve. I’m attentive to each dog’s unique needs and personality, whether that means lots of exercise and play or quiet companionship and reassurance. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel completely at ease.

Joy is very great with my Luna. Provided me with updates and pictures. Luna enjoyed her time and I felt very comfortable and confident in Joy.

My first time using Rover versus a pet boarding facility. Everything went very smoothly! Joy is one of the friendliest people I’ve met! My cat is usually super shy and standoffish, but he took to her right away. Totally eased my anxiety. Thank you!

Joy has the sweet caring soul of a true animal lover. She is responsible and kind always to everyone and especially pets. I trust Joy completely to take her responsibility seriously and to follow through with what needs to be done to care of fur babies! Joy delivers quality service and care no matter what the assignment is. You can trust Joy!

I have known Joy for the past 10 years. She is extremely reliable and will always keep her word. She is safe around children and pets and she will always show up for you when she says she will. She has extremely well time management so your pets will never go without their proper walking time or if they have medication’s or feeding schedules Joy will be on top of it. You will have zero worries if you hire her to watch over your pets.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
