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.😁

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.😊

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 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
