Your Dog Will Be Loved!

I've sat for dogs occasionally for years, but since I put my beloved pup down a few years ago I've enjoyed caring for other people's dogs on a regular basis.

Joy was a wonderful sitter for my little dog on short notice. She really loves dogs. I would recommend her for any daycare.

Joy was wonderful with my little Bichon/Poodle. My dog looked great upon my return and so did my home. I definitely recommend Joy.

Joy was a blessing for us. She took incredible care of Rai while she was healing from knee surgery! We are grateful.

Joy watched our dog on extremely late notice and was an absolute angel! Banjo was sooooo happy when we picked him up! Thank you so much, Joy!

Schedule

I work at home teaching piano so I'm here most of the time. Your doggie will be free to hang out and be a part of it all. The students like the doggies too. :) It's pretty mellow here and good for senior dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in court yard, and there is a park nearby where sometimes there are other dogs (if yours likes to socialize). My living room is spacious and clean.

A typical day

I like to go for a short walk right away so your dog can get familiar with the smell and feel of the area. Later we go for a longer walk, either to the park or around the neighborhood.
