Experienced, Energetic Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

With 8 years of raising Lilly and 2 years of dog sitting, I realized that the only difference between humans and dogs is communication. The same as we grow from babies to adults, our needs, pleasures, and personalities grow, so do theirs. Having adopted my Lilly from a shelter, I got the experience of nursing and nurturing a pup back to health. I know what it takes to take care of a sick puppy and the energy needed to entertain a healthy one. My experiences have all been focused around what each of my furry friends needs individually. My approach has been proven, by the excitement I've aroused in the animals I care for and the rapport I hold with my previous clients, to leave everyone genuinely satisfied. I am currently available part-time. However, I am flexible and am willing to work around schedules to provide times or services when needed. I am available all week and weekdays but prefer a24-48 hour advance notice. My living room and dining room are open. Pets are invited to sit on the furniture. I have a closed-off patio in the backyard along with an open backyard. I live between two parks both very short walking distances.

Joy pet sits my puppy Broly whenever I go out of town and he adores her so much. He's always excited to see her and she takes care of him as if he were hers. If you as a pet owner are looking for a sitter who possesses such a good heart and is such a compassion person, not just to people but especially to animals, look no further than her. With Joy's services, your man's (or woman's) best friend with make a new best friend.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Joy through my work as a librarian. Her openness to talk led to us discussing our pets we've had. I felt comfortable enough to book her for walking my dog, giving her access to my house for the past 2 years. I have also referred her to two of my closest friends, one a cat and one a dog owner. She has kept my Delilah, overnight and when it has stormed while i was at work, she has gone over to sit with her until the rain let up. I truly appreciate the care she puts into maintaining the relationship she had created with my dog and am always exited to tell someone about the quality work Joy offers.

Information Joy W. would like to know about your pet

Everything that would make your pet happy and everything that would make your pet unhappy. I’ll provide a safe and healthy environment always. However, it takes time to get to understand a pet so it’s good to start out with a list of things i can use to best connect with them.

A typical day

I love to visit lakes, parks, and allowing for relax time - lots of cuddles and tummy rubs! I’m always interested in finding and trying new activites that are pet friendly.
