Happiness is a warm puppy - Peanuts

Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs that the moment I could bring a pup in my life, I did, and it truly made our lives whole. I've been loving, caring for and dog-sitting for friends and family on and off for the last ten years. In my experience, getting to know all the quirks that make up a dogs personality is key, so whether they are a loving senior, blind and love to just cuddle and take a quick walk or... like my corgi Riley - need to play every other hour even after the park... I'm your girl. For overnights, I have a fenced-in yard and grassy park across my house or a huge living room for them to relax in! I'll take care of your pup like my own whether its a walk or a overnight. My full time work is in Residential Life/ Housing at a university in NYC. My experiences in my day to day career prepare me for any emergency situation with urgency and calm all while having strong relationship building skills with all people and dogs! I live in the Bronx but work in Greenwhich Village and could do pick ups from the city to my home and drop offs.

Joyce is the pet parent of an awesome little Corgi. She's responsible, caring, detail oriented, and trustworthy. She'll treat your dog as if it was her own.

Joyce is a great dog mother. I have witness the care she provides for her dog, Riley which is one that goes above and beyond. Since the moment Joyce knew was getting Riley until now she makes herself knowledgeable in researching on wellness and developmental topics. At the dog park Joyce has even cared for other dogs by sharing water she has brought and interacts with their owners to learn even more about their own dog children. Joyce is responsible and based off her job background can easily handle any situation. I highly recommend Joyce as she is a trustworthy dog owner and can provide care to any dog. -Samantha B.

Information Joyce A. would like to know about your pet

When going on walks, I'd love to know how I can best keep them to your preferred routine. Consistency is important for our furry friends and I'd like to be a part of that to gain trust. Should I expect them to run to their door and be cautious when opening it? Do they hate their leash, I can absolutely manage with TLC.

A typical day

If you're dog loves the dog parks or the trails, they'll love me. Both my Saturday and Sunday mornings start with a bagel and a trip to Van Cortland or Pehlam Bay Park.
