"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." 
  — Anatole France

PAWS OF JOY was founded by Lisa Gurney, a pet owner herself and a champion of animal rights for 20 years.  Establishing Paws of Joy was a natural outgrowth of her love of animals and caring for them.

At Paws of Joy, it is all about your pet.  It is all about giving back the joy Lisa receives from caring for them. The time you book is spent where it belongs - loving and fully interacting with your furry friend.   

Dog walks are uninterrupted by cell phone calls or passed by listening to music with headphones.  Sitting-visits involve your pet's favorite game, kitty and dog massage, and tailored completely to their personality.  A fun vacation for you turns into a fun vacation for them! 

PAWS OF JOY is fully insured and a proud member of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters.
