Pet care experience

full-time WFH cat bestie!

15+ years of experience and a thoughtful approach to cat sitting. I’ve been around cats most of my life, starting with my childhood cats Ella and Bella. I understand how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care, attention, and plenty of playtime.

Joyce and her partner are very good sitters. They always do a great job looking after my little guy. Mochi always comes back to me full of energy which shows how well he was taken care of by them.

Mochi was very energetic after coming from Joyce’s place so that shows he had a lot of fun at her place. Joyce took good care of Mochi and provided daily updates. I would definitely recommend her.

Joyce exceeded all our expectations. Harvey is an orange kitty with quite a personality . She not only took care of all his needs , she shared pictures and videos . We were worried that leaving him for over 2 months would have a negative effect on him . However, he was so well taken care of, we hope to hire her again .

Joyce was the perfect sitter for my cat, Katya. She and her partner took her into their home, took amazing care of her and loved her like she was their own.

When you book with me, you can expect: - Lots of fun and cute photos and videos! - Check-ins throughout the day (I'm always nearby to play or nap) - A calm, relaxed home environment with consistent company and attention - Evening wind-downs with guitar music, which many cats surprisingly enjoy (some even sing along!)

Safety, trust & environment

🧳 Cat care in your home (Drop-in/House Sitting): I treat your space with care and respect, leaving it just as you left it. I make an effort to learn your cat’s usual routine, from feeding schedules to favorite toys, so they feel as safe and relaxed as possible while you're away. 🏡 Cat care in my home: I live in a spacious, sunlit 1-bedroom apartment on a quiet street near Elmwood Village. There’s a comfy couch with lots of blankets, big windows for bird-watching, and a hallway perfect for zoomies. It’s quiet, clean, and filled with places for cats to nap, stretch, and feel at home.

A typical day

I always make time for daily play and try to capture those silly and sweet moments on camera to share with you. There’s also a long hallway in my apartment that cats love to zoom down. I’ll make sure your cat is well-fed, well-loved, and has plenty of enrichment throughout the day.
