Is your pet quirky? (Aren't we all?) Afraid of storms? Separation anxiety? Diet restrictions? Medications? Just let me know and we'll do our best to accommodate! Answers to a few FAQ’s: -Where will my dog be/sleep? Dogs spend the day/night in our home. We don’t typically crate dogs unless typically crated by clients. Guests are allowed on furniture (couch, beds). And, we have a fully fenced yard for dogs to potty/play... with potty breaks being approximately every 2-3 hours. -What are pick up and drop off times? Drop off and pick up times are flexible; just let me know what you need and we can typically accommodate! We do request an idea of your preference and a 15-20 minute heads up before you drop off or pick up. And, I generally prefer times between 8 AM and 10 PM (but we can work out any other necessary planning details). -What do I need to bring? (Generally speaking, less is more!) We have bowls, beds, treats… all we need is your pup and his/her food. -What records/vaccines are required. While I do encourage your pup to be up-to-date on all vaccines (as this is a "daycare-type" facility), I only require proof of rabies vaccination... Other vaccines are at the owners' discretion. ***Also, please make sure your dog is up-to-date on all flea/tick medication! How many dogs will you have? This varies from day to day... I generally take 5 clients at a time... this is my full-time job and I am home all day with them.

It was a pleasure meeting Joy. After our initial meet & greet with Daisy, I was at ease knowing that Daisy was going to be in great hands. Since being new to SC, my anxiety level was high leaving Daisy with a new sitter. Daisy loved Joy. She came home happy and was exhausted from her mini vacation with all the playing that she did. I received updates & pictures which made my time away less stressful. I would not hesitate to bring Daisy back to Joy for future care.

Joy and her family gave such tender and loving care to Thor. She loved and cared for him as one of her own. I highly recommend Joy and her family.

Wonderful experience. Dogs went to the spa for a week at Mrs. Joys. Lots of updates and pics through the week while we were away. Dogs looked very happy. Definitely a place I would trust with my fur babies. Will be back 100% for sure.
