Pet care experience

Friendly pet walker and owner 🐾🐾

Hello, my name is Joyce and I’m 53 years old. I recently moved to this beautiful area after retiring and couldn’t be happier that I now have time to spend with cats and dogs, my true loves. Throughout my entire life I’ve always cared for animals, as they bring me immense joy and happiness. Since being a child, I’ve owned and rescued Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Boston Terriers, Pit Bulls, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Shelties, and numerous stray cats. I’m extremely comfortable around all breeds and have many times been called a “dog whisperer” due to the calm presence I have around animals with high anxiety. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will be my top priority, I promise you that.

Joyce provided exceptional care for Kenzie. Joyce walked Kenzie daily, gave her lots of play time including playing ball which Kenzie loves and gave her lots of cuddles. Joyce is very professional and detail oriented and we felt very comfortable leaving our sweet Kenzie in her care. Thanks Joyce for taking such good care of our Kenzie!

Responsive, professional, and reliable! Joyce is all we could have hoped for when we began our search for a weekly dog walker for our puppy. We particularly appreciated her willingness to learn our training approach so things remain consistent for him. Highly recommend Joyce as a caretaker for your pup.

We have world with Joyce for quite some time and Boomer loves her. She has a calm spirit, is punctual, knowledgeable about dogs, is flexible and allows this dog mom peace knowing Boomer is loved and well taken care of. We have used weekly for walks and periodically for home visits when gone for a weekend. Highly recommend🩷
