Doggy Day Care • May 24, 2026

Daisy is almost 6 months old and this was her first time at daycare, so I was nervous. Within seconds of seeing Joyce, Daisy was beside herself with excitement and honestly, that told me everything. Puppies don't lie. Joyce kept me updated throughout the day, sent a photo, and let me know how Daisy was settling in. When I came to pick her up, Daisy didn't want to leave. For a first time puppy mom, that's the most reassuring thing in the world. You can just tell Joyce genuinely loves animals. It's not something she has to say you see it in how she is with them. She wants the best for the dogs in her care, and Daisy felt that. I”ll definitely be back.

Maggie's second stay with Joyce was wonderful. Joyce is a very caring and considerate pet sitter and it's obvious Maggie is very comfortable with her, which isn't always easy for an anxious dog. I got regular updates from Joyce, including pictures and video, and I was very happy to see Maggie was having a great time. I think she would have been happy to stay with Joyce even longer!

A typical day

I am an early riser and enjoy a morning walk first thing to start the day as well as 2-3 more times thru the day if the dog enjoys walks. I love walking however will tailor the duration and number of walks based on each dogs needs . I am active and like to be outside and regularly in my back yard with pups.
