About Joyful Paws

Availability

I can think of nothing I like to do more than caring for furry friends. I'm available 7 days per week & holidays. Time spent walking dogs or petting cats is the best! 

Our Expertise

Whether it's around the block in your local area or (with permission) out on the trails, I would love to have your fur baby(ies) join me for a walk. I understand how important physical & mental stimulation is for our furry friends & will ensure your pet gets the best experience possible, including games & lots of snuggles. 


I have owned dogs & cats my whole life & I am comfortable with all breeds & sizes of dogs, cats & other pets. I am also happy to pop by for pee breaks, snuggles & playtime or just to chill with your fur baby.


I used to volunteer for the Humane Society & I am certified in dog & cat first aid. I am available 7 days per week and on holidays & can accommodate your schedule.  


Caring for your furry family in their own environment is less stressful for them. Please let me know your usual routine & house rules (are they allowed on the furniture?) so that I can maintain as much continuity as possible. If you ask your dog to sit at every curb or walk to heel, or if you have a more relaxed approach, please let me know. My aim is to give your dog the best possible service & maintaining consistency for your dog will reduce their stress.

I prefer to care for your furry family members in their own environment as familiar surroundings will help them relax & reduce their stress . 

About your pet:

Safety, Trust & Environment

Safety, Trust & Environment

The more I know about your fur-babies the better. Please let me know how your dog is with other dogs & with children. Are they comfortable getting pets from strangers? How well do they behave on leash? Any personality or behavior quirks? Does you cat hide under the bed covers or hang out on top of the bookcase? What's their favorite game? 

A typical day

Safety, Trust & Environment

A typical day

Your dog will set the pace of our walk & there will be lots of opportunities to sniff & pee. Please let me know of a preferred route. 


Your cat will determine our activities, they decide if they want to play, be brushed, have snuggles or just hang out under the bed.
