Availability
I’m retired, so I’m here all the time. Occasionally I take an overnight road trip, but not often. I take my fur baby on long walks twice a day and there’s a doggy door to get into the fenced yard with plenty of squeaky toys.😁

About Joy R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a Chihuahua mix named Gus. He has a sweet disposition and loves everyone. I have beds/blankets everywhere but no crates. If you need me to use one, you’d have to bring it with you.😊
Home
Information Joy R. would like to know about your pet
I would appreciate a heads up if your fur baby is especially hyper or intense. My fur baby, Gus, needs a little time to warm up to the wild ones. He’ll be okay, one of his best buds has continuous “zoomies”!
A typical day
Chasing balls and squirrels in the back yard. Chasing balls in the house. Practicing commands and tricks. Staring out the window and napping on the window seat.

Retired Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I’m retired and my little dog Gus (Chihuahua mix) and I need a job that I (finally) can love 💕. I’ve had ALL kinds of animals my whole life, and sad to say, but I like them more than most people.😬
Reviews

Joy is the best! She’s our #1 choice to watch our dog when we’re out of town.

Joy is amazing and will continue to be our “go-to” sitter for any future needs for our dog. We always know Milo will be well loved and Joy will provide updates about all the fun he’s having when he stays.


Joy was amazing with my dogs! Her house was very clean, had a very nice fenced in backyard for the dogs to play. She kept me well updated with lots of pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend her and would use her again!

Joy goes above and beyond ensuring our dog has fun and is well cared for. Great communication and flexibility when schedules change last minute. Thank you, Joy, for all that you do!
