Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of everyone’s home and treat it how I’d want a pet sitter to treat my own. I know the signs to take it slow with dogs and cats.

Information Joy Y. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs or triggers. I’ve worked with difficult cats and dogs before. I’d like to be respectful of their boundaries and needs.

A typical day

We can go for a walk. Let me know if your dog prefers the same route or I can change it up. If it’s ok I can take them to a dog park and play outside.

Joy was amazing. She took care of my two cats like they were her own. She also provided detailed notes on how they were doing at each check in. Thank you Joy , for giving me the peace of mind that my cats were in good hands.

We loved having Joy as our cat sitter. She took great care of our babies and gave the best updates!

Joy took excellent care of our aging dog Maya, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Most importantly, when a last-minute emergency came up on our end, Joy went above and beyond, making significant changes to her plans for the day to accommodate us. She was incredibly caring, flexible, and dependable. We are so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter. Joy was the best!

Joy watched my 2 cats while I was out of town for 2 weeks. One cat is clingy and he needs attention everyday. She stopped by everyday to feed them wet food. She also sent me pictures. She did a great job. I could tell she really cared about them.

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.
