Hello & welcome to Joyabi Your dog's cozy vacation spa with John & Miyabi🐶🌴 Our drop off and pickup hours are ⏰8:00am-10:00pm⏰ 🏠Daycare is priced for up to 8 hours. Anything over 8 hours is charged at the same rate as an overnight stay. 🐶About us🐶 Miyabi grew up with two dogs (Golden Retriever& Labrador) since she was a child, and John has cared for Dolly (our dog), who currently lives with us. Over the years, she has experienced several health issues, so we are very familiar with senior dog care of all sizes (including feeding and monitoring). We speak English, 日本語, and 한국어는 조금 해요.🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for being such wonderful carers! We really appreciate how well you looked after our dog and loved getting all the photos and updates. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you again! 🐶❤️

John & Miyabi were everything we could have hoped for and then some! They have a great size outdoor play area where our lab-mix played with other dogs staying there every day. We got daily picture updates, one included a doggy ice cream social, which wasn’t expected but a nice surprise. There were no issues at all, and they were always super fast to respond (usually within minutes). Having two people almost ensures someone is always around to watch the dogs. Our doggy didn’t want to leave! 10/10 will use again!

We had such a great first daycare experience with Miyabi! I was really nervous since it was Romi's first time at daycare, but she made the whole experience so much easier with frequent updates/photos/videos. Really appreciate how communicative and honest she was throughout the day. It was clear that Romi was well cared for and having a great time. Thanks, Miyabi!

Daily updates. Sweetest pair. Our Penny looked happy and content at J+M’s and we couldn’t be more grateful for their attention and care. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Can’t recommend them enough!

John & Miyabi were great hosts with our big boy Gryffin. He had a little difficulty adjusting during the 4th of July holiday weekend, but they were very attentive and provided constant updates as he got settled in their home. He even received a holiday photo shoot that we absolutely loved!
This was the second time that my Vini has stayed with John and Miyabi and everything went smoothly once again! It’s hard for me to find sitters that I trust, but John and Miyabi have a lot of experience and have been great! Thanks guys

Schedule
📅Our daily routine🎾 Throughout the day, the dogs can play with lots of toys either in the yard or in our dedicated dog room. They get to socialize, play together, or take naps outside on cozy mats we lay out for them in the sun. In the evening, we wind down with some quiet time — sometimes watching a movie together or just relaxing as a group. Many of our pups enjoy snuggling up with us at bedtime for a cozy night’s sleep.💤

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🦺Safety & Environment📷 We understand that some dogs may feel nervous in a new environment, so we take things at each pup’s pace and offer lots of love and patience.💓 Our home is fully fenced, with secure indoor and outdoor areas that dogs can freely enjoy. We have a double-gate system at the entrance, and we’ve installed recording dog cameras in the yard and living room to help us keep an eye on everyone at all times.
Pets
A typical day
We will go for walks, and I'll throw the toys around, and definitely lots of pets. We will also make sure that your dog is safe throughout all activities, be it on a walk or playtime with toys.

If they need to be fed a special diet, or are taking medications, please let us know! ⚠️ Pickup or drop off outside of these hours will incur a fee. ⚠️ For safety reasons, all meet & greets take place in our yard only. ⚠️ All dogs must be non-aggressive and clean, with no fleas. (If your dog arrives dirty, we will provide a bath and add a cleaning fee to your booking.) ⚠️ Excessive humping or aggressive behavior toward us or other dogs (based on our judgment) or severe separation anxiety will result in an additional fee of $15 per day. Mild separation anxiety is acceptable. Please note: We may not be able to accommodate dogs over 60pounds (approximately 30kg), depending on their breed, temperament, and our current availability.
