Highlights
Pet care experience
3 walks a day - I sniff fun trails!
I lost my pup of 18 years this past July, 2026. As a former pet owner, I’ve also had good and bad sitter experiences. So, I understand how hard it is to find a trustworthy sitter for your furry baby. I hope I can alleviate that worry and give you peace of mind while you are away! I was a primary caregiver to my beloved pup from puppy to senior. I enjoyed training her to become a well-behaved happy pup and enjoyed making her a power bowl in her senior years. Other than my pet, I have experienced taking care of medium to big size dogs (up to 100 lbs) and cats. I am a very active person - a hiker, marathoner, All-American boxer, and cyclist, that means your furry baby will get a lot of activities in with me! And from my previous care experiences, I have a good sense of reading animal behavior for whether they need attention or they are sick, etc.

Awesome service as always!
Joy was a pleasure to work with and she took care of my pup very well.
Joy is amazing!
We had our dog stay with Joy for 8 days while we were away on vacation. She took such great care of Daisy and gave her the most fun week of her life! We looked forward to the regular updates and photos Joy sent us. She made us feel not only comfortable with leaving our dog in her care, but also that she was providing lots of attention and love for her in our absence. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking in the future. Daisy will be so happy to stay with her again!
Joy took great care of Lily. She was very attentive, response and made me feel confident that my dog was in good hands. She also takes great photos!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we first spoke, it was clear that Joy genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She treated Bowie like a member of her own family, making sure he was not only well cared for but also happy, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Communication was outstanding throughout our trip. We received regular updates, photos, and videos that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that Bowie was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. When we returned, Bowie was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had an amazing time. It’s such a relief to know we have someone we can trust completely with him. Joy’s professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail exceeded every expectation. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with her again, and we know Bowie can’t wait for the next visit!

Schedule
I am a young professional chemist working flexible hours and teach kids boxing for fun on the weekend. That means I have plenty of time to give your furry babies attention and exercises. *Boarding, walking and house sitting are all welcome weekdays or weekends. *If you are booking for holidays, please contact me before booking! Otherwise, I try my best to update my availability calendar. *If any pet parent is seeking a full time sitter, please indicate when booking. Otherwise, I am available for your pet every 4-8hrs during the day. *For senior pups, I would recommend house sitting to minimize introducing any changes to their surroundings and routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
*Boarding: I am in a 2bd condo with a balcony in a quiet neighborhood. My condo complex has many unfenced green fields. And I am walking distance to a lot of trails (paved and non-paved) that your dog can take advantage of. It’s important to note that since I am in a condo, I only accept one pet at a time and keep your pet outdoor active! *House Sitting: I try to keep your pet’s routine as similar as possible. I will ask you upon our meet&greet to show me his/her daily routine, disclose any indoor cameras/recordings, and house safety.
A typical day
I believe every pet deserves a happy walk/cuddle. During the weekday, I offer a 30min walk/run 3 times a day in your neighborhood or on Empire state trail. I like finding new paths for a walk, so your dog will likely get a different walk every time. During the weekend, I do a lot of activities. Activities that your pet will be doing with me are running, hiking, swimming, playing at dog parks, and occasionally camping. Let me know ahead of time if you feel uncomfortable with any of these.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsTakes only 1 client at a timeJoy can host up to 1 pet per night
- As a former dog owner, I believe consistency is a key to your pup’s well-being and training. I’d like to keep your pet’s routine as similar as how you care them at home. So, the more information you tell me about your pet, the easier we can achieve this. It’s very helpful if you tell me… 1. Your pet's socialization: when around people, kids, other dogs, cats, and/or squirrels or bunnies. 2. Your pet’s preferences: what he/she likes and dislikes in terms of treats, plays, activities, etc. 3. Your pet’s daily routine: eating schedule, pee/poo breaks, walk schedule, training rules, etc. 4. Your pet’s special needs
