Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog will love my backyard :-)!
I admit that I'm new to Rover.com but I cared for my beloved Chloe (60 lb dog) for 16 years and also dog sat for my best friend when she went out of town. Safety is incredibly important to me and I have a fully fenced, private back yard that would love to host your canine family member.

Ratings and reviews
Joyce was fantastic! Very thorough to make sure she understood what all of Rocky's needs were.
Mocha had so much fun in the yard that she didn’t want to leave when it was time to go home!
Joyce was a great sitter! She has a nice backyard that my dog Luna loved. Very attentive to Luna’s needs. I also appreciated Joyce’s communication. Highly recommend!
Joyce was wonderful with Penny and took great care to follow her routine and meet her needs. She was easy to work with, asked thoughtful questions, and made us feel confident that Penny was in great hands. Before the stay, Joyce allowed us over for a meet and greet, and we were impressed by her clean home and spacious yard for Penny to play in. We're so grateful for the excellent care she gave our precious pup and can't wait for Penny to stay with Joyce again!
Joyce was very friendly and great with my pup. She did great at managing my pup’s medical needs. Joyce has a wonderful big fenced back yard for dogs to run around in, which was great for me since my dog can’t go on walks. She sent a few pictures and kept in touch while we were gone. She was very communicative and responsive through text. Will book with her again.
Joyce is thoughtful and genuinely cares about Mocha’s interests and well-being. Mocha had a blast playing in Joyce’s yard!

Schedule
I am retired now so can set my own schedule. I am home most of the time but do typically leave the house for an hour or so to exercise each day. When I'm pet sitting, your special pet will be my top priority and I will be able to work my schedule around their needs and your expectations.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fully fenced, private back yard. I do not require that your pet be crate trained as my dog (she passed away in 2024) was never crate trained. I'm ok with you simply bringing over their dog bed, but if they sleep in a crate, that's fine too. My home's environment is very safe and offers room to roam when they're outside. The one fence line that has a gap between the bottom of the fence and the ground has been covered with wire mesh so even a small dog cannot get out. As a retired person, I'm able to walk your dog as many times / day as you request. As mentioned above, they'll also be free to roam the backyard and I will be with them during that time.
A typical day
As a retired person, I'm able to walk your dog at least a couple of times a day, depending upon your preferences. I'm also able to play fetch/catch in my large and secure backyard. You tell me what your dog enjoys, and I will find a way to make it happen.
