Retired Animal Lover
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.😬
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Joy seems to treat the dogs she cares for as her own. She has that "dog whisperer" quality. We were greatful that she was able to take our pup for a half day on relatively short notice. Joy was watching several other dogs and they all got along. It was like a canine party in her fenced back yard. Clean and thoughtful digs. Professional.

Joy is the best. Nice fenced yard with thick grass and she loves up our needy dog adding extra padding to his skinny dog bed. Thanks Joy!

Clarky was very well cared for and had an active and wonderful stay with Joy, Gus and visiting pals. Thanks for going above and beyond to get more food when Clark’s ran out on his last days of boarding. Highly recommend Joy and we will be back again!!

Perfect place for our dog! She got plenty of socialization and exercise
Joy sent us frequent updates, photos and videos. She had fantastic communication and flexibility. Her home and yard was set up perfectly for pets and even had a doggy door into her fenced yard, which I just know our dog loved! Upon picking up our dog, she was so excited and happy to see us - but also went to give love to Joy when she knew she would be coming home now - which speaks a lot to how much she enjoyed her stay with Joy. Joy also helped administer meds 2x a day for our doggo with allergies. She also went out of her way to bring our dog to the park to free run (after asking permission!) and sent videos which was amazing to see while we were away on vacation. We will 100000% use Joy’s services again in the future and highly recommend her!

Domino had so much fun with Joy! He didn’t want to leave! 🤣 We will definitely book with her again when needed!

Schedule
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.😁

Home characteristics
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.😊
