I'm Joyce...Im so excited to be putting my head and heart into what I love and starting this new adventure of both taking care of cats which is my dream and helping people who are looking for peace of mind and comfort when it comes to their beloved fur babies when they have to be away from them. I have a certification from Professional Pet Sitters and I also have a Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification. I enjoy listening to webinars and taking classes to increase my knowledge of cats and their behaviors and what makes them most comfortable. I've had cats since I was young and I can't imagine living without them. I currently have 2 beautiful boys. My senior boy Timmy who loves chin rubs, belly rubs, treats, and sleeping right next to me, and my five-year-old Wick who loves to climb on my back, sleep on my head, and is a ball of energy. I have also volunteered at various shelters throughout the years including Furry Friends Foundation in the 90s and most currently at The Anti Cruelty.

Joyce's Reviews

Jacqueline
Joyce took amazing care of my cats! She asked so many great questions during the initial meeting so that she has a good understanding of their individuals needs and personalities. She kept me informed throughout the visits and sent many great photos. I highly recommend!

Jay
Joyce is by far the best cat sitter I have ever had. She goes above and beyond in her care of the cats and in her communication with her clients. I feel 100% comfortable with my cats in her care when I am away.

May Lee
I highly recommend Joyce as your cat sitter! When we did our meet and greet, she came prepared with questions and really gravitated towards my cats. During her visit, she sent me numerous photos and many detailed notes. I could tell my cats enjoyed her company. She went above and beyond and brought my treats that she had approved with me first and extra toys for my cats to play with. She was just so kind and was really committed to taking care of my cats while I was gone, which gave me so much peace of mind. I will definitely be booking her for the future!

Ashton
Joyce was one of the most attentive cat sitters I have ever had! You can tell she has a deep love for cats through her above and beyond care, and I'd highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a sitter!

Alexa
Joyce was lovely! She was very communicative and provided great updates on the day of her visits! She took great care of Ganni and gave her so much care and attention! I would definitely recommend Joyce!
