It's been a super busy summer and I willingly and knowingly added to that, lol. My daughter, and I rescued 2 adult cats and 9 kittens yesterday.

Left unchecked, those cats could have produced anywhere from 60 to 150 kittens in just one year, and that’s if the babies even survived. With flea infestations worsening as the summer heats up, the odds were stacked against them. The four babies we rescued are only a week old and almost certainly wouldn’t have made it.

Thankfully, Small Town Cat Rescue Non-Profit stepped in and agreed to take them, as long as we foster. The problem is, STCR is already at full capacity, their vet bills are through the roof, and they desperately need funds to spay and neuter the cats that were in their care.

💥 So 100% of my earnings from August 4th–8th (Monday through Friday) will be donated to Small Town Cat Rescue Non-Profit.

Let’s fill up that week and help the best cat rescue Indiana County has ever seen!

Please share with friends! Let’s get these kitties the help they deserve. ❤️

This is Hickory, he's missing teeth but he makes up for it by having so many extra toes on all his paws! 🥰

Hi all! I just wanted to pop in and give a little life update.

First things first—I’ve updated my number! You can now reach me at 724-840-4590. That’s my personal cell, so it’s the best way to get in touch.

I kinda disappeared for a bit—my mom, who has Alzheimer’s, moved in with us along with her seven cats, and we’ve been busy creating a cozy little apartment space for her in our home. It’s been a journey getting everything set up and settled, so I wasn’t really out there chasing new business.

That said, April started out slow and turned into a whirlwind, and May and June's schedule is packed! No worries for my current clients, if you have an emergency or unplanned overnight pop-up up I'll still be available for you.

Enjoy a few pics of where my paws have been lately 🐾📸

That one cat you keep seeing in the pictures? Yeah, she's got one job. She’s on full-time patrol, and I am her top priority. She follows me around like I’m the suspicious one. And don’t get any ideas about petting her too much - she gets real dramatic 😅

Yesterday was paws-itively delightful at Paws On!🐾 Four clients in one day! I started the day on a shiny note by helping a lovely lady clean her car!✨ Then, I took two adorable pups for a fun trip to the park and because it was cold out, even a little shopping spree at TJMaxx.😄 After that, I spent time with a super sweet, shy kitty who wasn’t up for cuddles, but allowed me to give her some love while she stayed tucked under the bed.💕 To wrap things up, I walked a beautiful girl who’s a little hesitant to new faces, but she’s a total pro when it comes to walks – no hesitation when I grabbed that leash, she was ready to roll!🐶

While these adorable furballs aren't officially part of Paws On care, my family and I have had the joy of watching over these pups for nearly six years including this past week or so. They're bundles of energy and pure fun! And just a couple of years ago, the kitties came in to shake things up!

Remember these adorable dogs? They've been out and about in Indiana over the past few weeks, and they're making wonderful progress! I have to say Ollie's has been a positive place for them to gradually meet new people. The people shopping at Ollie's have been so friendly and eager to help, making it a great place for them to feel comfortable and safe.

I was back watching these two sweet pups this weekend! They love their one-on-one time and it’s wonderful to see them again. It's hard getting pictures of the blond, she just wants all up on me and she loves her belly rubbed 😍.

I’ll be visiting family out of state this week, since January is a slower month. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m still available to message you and schedule appointments for January 27th and beyond! 🥰

Hello! I’m Joy Goodyear, and I’d love to share a little about myself and welcome you to Paws On—your 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 passion—helping 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.

I’ve 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 smoother—whether 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, I’ve been rescuing and fostering a mix of dogs and cats. Honestly, they’ve kind of taken over my home! Right now, I’m the proud (and slightly overwhelmed) mom of 7 dogs and 19 cats—all rescues that either didn’t get adopted or had medical or mental health challenges. Along with all my animal rescue work, I’ve been providing pet sitting services for the past 8 years—not 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 world—one pet at a time. My mom used to say, “You can’t save them all,” and my reply was always, “But I can save this one, and that one, and this one…” (and so on! 😊).
