Availability
Pet care is my primary focus, and I intentionally limit the number of clients I accept so I can provide attentive, individualized care. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to offer consistent supervision, timely potty breaks, medication administration, and companionship. I provide both in-home pet sitting and boarding, depending on what best supports each pet’s comfort and well-being.

About Joylyn W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide calm, attentive care in a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly environment. My home is a single-level ranch with a securely fenced yard, ideal for dogs of all ages—especially seniors. I have two resident cats who are accustomed to dogs; however, visiting dogs stay in a separate area of the home to ensure everyone’s comfort and safety. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow established routines closely to maintain familiarity, reduce stress, and ensure continuity of care.
Home
Information Joylyn W. would like to know about your pet
To provide the highest level of care, I ask that pet parents share details about their pet’s routine, behaviors, medical needs, medications, feeding schedules, mobility concerns, and any anxieties or sensitivities. Clear communication helps ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well supported while in my care.
A typical day
Daily care is tailored to each pet’s age, energy level, and health needs. Activities may include calm neighborhood walks, supervised yard time, enrichment through gentle play or mental stimulation, and ample rest. For dogs who enjoy and are suited for outings, we may visit a nearby park or enjoy a quiet walk by the lake.

Responsible Compassionate PetSitter
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for dogs for over 30 years and specialize in senior care, special-needs dogs, and pets who need a calm, attentive environment. From puppies to end-of-life comfort care, I’ve provided around-the-clock support, medication administration, and gentle companionship tailored to each dog’s needs. I take only one client at a time, allowing me to provide focused, individualized care. My home is quiet, non-smoking, and pet-friendly, with a fenced yard and plenty of opportunities for rest, routine, and affection. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. I provide frequent potty breaks, daily exercise as appropriate, and regular updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I also offer in-home dog sitting, as many pets feel most comfortable staying in familiar surroundings. Whether your dog needs extra patience, medication support, or simply a calm presence, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, cared for, and at ease while you’re away. Before every stay, I take time to learn about your dog’s routines, behaviors, medical needs, and any concerns you may have, so care is consistent and stress-free for everyone involved.

Reviews

Joy is lovely! Cared for our Daisy girl as if she was her own. Very thoughtful and lots of photos :) Definitely will have her dog sit again!

Joylyn was the absolute best watching our dog. She was very communicative and really made us feel comfortable being away as we knew our dog was getting excellent care!

Joylyn is great! I can’t say how pleased we are when she watches Rue. She clearly is a dog lover and Rue always comes back happy.

Joy was a wonderful house/dog sitter. Cared for our fur baby like she was her own! We will definitely be using her again.
