Joyce Sly
Owner
After twenty years working in New York as a designer in the “dog eat dog” world of fashion, I was ready for a change! Knowing my love of animals, my loving husband suggested I start my own dog walking and pet sitting business. In September 2009, On The Spot Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Services was born! If I had to name one thing I like most about being a pet care provider, I would have to say it would be the special relationships I’ve developed with pets under my care. As a pet owner myself, I understand just how important our client’s fur kids are to them, so I make it my number one priority to provide the best service and support possible for each pet and their owner.

Nancy Fries
Dog Walker
Nancy spent time working as a dog walker and pet sitter in North Virginia before moving to the Atlanta Metropolitan area and joining On The Spot in 2016. She loves caring for pets because of the great relationships that she develops with the animals. She feels that earning their trust is a wonderful privilege. Outside of pet sitting and dog walking, Nancy enjoys spending time with her husband, two sons and her cat, she also enjoys reading, crocheting, baking, and Bible Study.
