🐱Purr-fect Cat Care

Cat care experience

I’m an experienced and professional cat sitter and and have the expertise and patience to meet your cats’ unique needs. I focus on quality and understand that cats can be nervous or shy around new people, so I always take the time to build trust and establish a comfortable environment. Additionally, I am reliable, detail-oriented, and a great communicator, so you can rest assured that your cat is in good hands while you're away. I love taking photos and provide detailed updates.

Joyce is amazing with our cat. Normally our cat is shy and sad when we are gone but Joyce makes her comfortable and is able to get her to play and be herself. She administers medicine and is very easy to work with.

Joyce was wonderful with our two tuxies! She took amazing photos and shared fun, detailed updates. We could tell she was really spending quality time playing with them. Even Luna, who is usually skittish, warmed up to her right away. If you want peace of mind while you’re away and to know your pets are being well taken care of, we highly recommend Joyce. We would definitely book with her again!

Joyce does great work! She's been looking after our cats for nearly two years now. She's very careful and thorough, and is terrific at getting our cats to engage and play when we're gone- esp since one of our cats is annoyed by almost everyone
