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.

Information Joy L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of anything your dog prefers so to be as comfortable as possible. Bring treats, toys, blanket, bed, and anything else you think would make your dog feel welcome and safe..

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.

Pet care experience

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.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
