Pet care experience
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.

Ratings and reviews
Joy is absolutely wonderful and fantastic. She took care of our Australian Shepherd who needs careful watching because of colitis. Joy gave our pup the medications and was very, very attentive. She sent us photos and was extremely kind. We would hire her again in a second!
Joy did a terrific job taking care of our two Cavaliers when headed out of town for the day. The boys seemed to love her. She has great energy and I would recommend her.
Joy was a delight to work with. She took great care of out little dog Luckee. It was especially great to know that even though we were far from home, we could depend on excellent pet care. We will book with Joy again if we are back in the Santa Fe area!
Joy was great! She responded quickly and was able to Accommodate my dog Smokey with short notice. She was extremely kind and very sensitive to his needs. Her home was very clean and welcoming. Smokey loved his stay there. Well definitely book with Joy again should we ever need boarding in SF again.
Our dog Milo was so well cared for by Joy! Joy communicated with us regularly and took such great care of our old boy. We will certainly reach out to Joy for future dog-sitting.
A previously booked 10 day stay for my dog was canceled by another provider at the last minute. I was panicked. I contacted Joy and she arranged a meet and greet immediately. She has a cute apartment with a lovely shaded courtyard right in town. It is a good area for walks. She is kind and loving. She gave me daily updates and pictures of my boy and took excellent care of him. We will book her again.

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.

Home characteristics
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.
