Pet care experience

HEY PAWS UP, I'm your new pet pal!

Everything began when I was 5-6 years old, when my mother couldn't keep away from me bringing homeless pets home. Every single thing in them, used to make me happy and now I'm an advocate trying to create the life that they deserve: happy, secure, kind and playful (no matter the age). My experience: 1. Started when I was a child and still performancing very well. 2. I've been taking care of my own pets, many all over the years and all of them rescued. 3. Experience taking care of illnesses, treatments and rehabilitation for cats & dogs. 4. I'm a shelter volunteer at Animal Services in Miami-Dade. 5. I'm on the foster care program for neonates orphan kittens & dogs. 7. I'm a ASPCA Guardian. 8. I can't stop petting, kiss and give a nice talk for every animal I see on the street. 9. I'm a part of a group, formed by amazing women who loves animals and always we support each other. They'll love you back no matter what and that's what I do for them. No matter what! PAWS UP & cheers for a treat! >>> También hablo español ; ) <<< Kindly reminder for the animals: As an advocate for the animals remember that the Department of Animal Services of Miami-Dade is always willing to help you, no questions ask. If you see stray dogs and cats in your area please contact them, so they can help them if is necessary for: - TNR Trap, neuter and return: helps reduce the population, diseases and welfare of the animals. - If the animal is friendly it can be adoptable. - Orphans: stray dogs and kittens won't survive on their own. The foster care program conducted by trained volunteer workers, help them develop in a safe place and find them a forever home. - Disposal. - Medical treatment and vaccinations. You can learn more and volunteer in so many ways! Give them a chance.

Joyce was amazing as always. She provided a peace of mind while I had to go out of town on a family matter. A true professional and expert communicator. She always leaves the home in immaculate condition and she even cleaned/refreshed the pack’s leashes and collars. She always goes a step above. Highly recommend Joyce for any house sitting and just taking care of your fur kids! We couldn’t have done this trip without Joyce, she’s a trusted member of the pack.
