What we do
Services for every kind of good dog
From quick potty breaks to overnights by your dog's own fireside — pick what fits your pack. Every visit includes a happy-heart guarantee: belly rubs and ear scratches at no extra charge.
Drop-In Visits
Feedings, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and medication as needed. We'll send a photo update every visit.
Overnight Pet Sitting
A familiar bed, a familiar routine. Your pup stays home happy and tucked in while you travel — with a goodnight story, if they're into that.
Pet Taxi
Groomer at 10, vet at 2? We chauffeur your companion door-to-door and report back with a full travel diary.
Emergency Pet Care
Life happens. If you're hospitalized or suddenly called away, your pets stay safe, fed, and calm with a sitter they already know.
The Meet & Greet
Every new pack member gets a free, no-pressure hello visit first — so tails are wagging before the first walk even starts.
The humans & hounds
Meet the Joyful Wags pack
Joyful Wags is run by Francine, a certified professional pet sitter through Pet Sitters International — background verified, professionally insured, and trained in pet first aid.
After years of volunteering with rescue pups and neighborhood dog duty, Francine turned "the person every dog on the street wags at" into a business. Molly and Duke, the official quality-control officers, personally test every walking route in Ormond Beach and Daytona Beach.
