Hello! Iâm Joy Goodyear, and Iâd love to share a little about myself and welcome you to Paws Onâyour one-stop shop for all things pet care and home help in Indiana, PA!
After serving in the Army National Guard and retiring from the PA State Police, I decided to shift my focus to a lifelong passionâhelping both people and animals! My journey as a humane officer, along with over a decade of rescuing and fostering animals, led me to create Paws On, a unique pet and home concierge service designed to make life easier for you and your pets.
Iâve always been driven by a deep desire to help others, and my love for animals has been with me since childhood. From rescuing strays as a kid to fostering and rescuing dozens of ferrets, dogs, and hundreds of cats over the years, animals have always had a special place in my heart.
At Paws On, we treat your pets like our own. We genuinely enjoy helping with the little things that make your life smootherâwhether it's pampering your pets, tackling household chores, or simply lending a hand when you need it most. My goal is to make both you and your pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well taken care of.
For the past 10 years, Iâve been rescuing and fostering a mix of dogs and cats. Honestly, theyâve kind of taken over my home! Right now, Iâm the proud (and slightly overwhelmed) mom of 7 dogs and 19 catsâall rescues that either didnât get adopted or had medical or mental health challenges. Along with all my animal rescue work, Iâve been providing pet sitting services for the past 8 yearsânot only because I love animals, but to help fund my rescue efforts. I guess you could say I was on a mission to save the worldâone pet at a time. My mom used to say, âYou canât save them all,â and my reply was always, âBut I can save this one, and that one, and this oneâŚâ (and so on! đ).
