Pet care experience

Your Fur-babies New Best Friend!

Hello! My name is Joyce. I’ve been taking care of my doggie, Chiquita, for the last 15 years of my life and counting! I’ve walked her, fed her, bathed her, taken her to the vet, took care of her post-op, loved her, and never stopped petting her. Now that she’s a senior and requires senior care, which I've been tending to and been very attentive to, I can service other senior dogs! My entire family knows how fond I am of animals and my fur baby, I am now my older sister's personal dog-sitter! I take care of her large mixed breed, 2 year old Bella! She loves traveling and when she cannot take Bella with her, I go to her home and drop in or stay overnight! I wash Bella’s face in the morning, wash her plates and feed her, give her a shower if needed, take her out for some air, come back home and play with her! All dependent on my schedule.

Communication with Joyce was exceptional. She was very kind and made sure my pup was comfortable with her. I would definitely rebook with her!

Joyce is very caring and you can enjoy your time away knowing your fur child is being well taken care of. She took care of everything I had listed in her care instructions without any complaints and kept up with her walks. I’m very appreciative to have found a great pet sitter and would recommend to anyone needing her services!

Schedule

I’m currently an enrolled college student and come back home for breaks and vacations. So I open up my availability whenever I know i’m going back home to fill my time up taking care of some doggies. This gives me something to do while I’m back home :) As of now- I’m at the college over the summer and there’s ample space in my suite to take care of a dog at a time!

Safety, trust & environment

I mentioned before that I have my senior dog, Chiquita, but she barely leaves her room and likes being away either sleeping or on a bed relaxing. Therefore, there’s an extremely high chance Chiquita would not see your dog. Bella usually visits a lot because my older sister likes to surprise me with her! Bella is extremely friendly, and has never hurt a soul, not even a fly. She’s very playful and usually when she comes over, loves being in the living room. Which is where your doggie would be at mostly if they come over. Bella- who is the only dog that could possibly interact with your dog- is up to date with all of her vaccines. Lastly, always remember, I will be treating your pet like my own. I’ll make sure they’re safe, talk with them, love them and care for them. I know and understand how important it is to make sure they’re safe in the hands of another person and I can make a promise from me to you, I’ll be there for them! No worries. All that’s really left for you to do is book me or message me for any questions or concerns!

Pets

A typical day

Besides walking around on the grass, we can have fun indoors as well! A bunch of play time, a nap time, tons of belly rubs and treats :) As long as they leave my hands into yours happily, then that was a day well spent.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Joyce can host up to 2 pets per night
I need to know how friendly they are, any special condition or disability, and medications they take if I need to handle that as well. Any food allergies, or triggers would be great to know as well. I only like to take care of apartment trained dogs! Pets that know how to behave in an apartment and don’t bark excessively as I live in a building, and pets that don’t go potty in the apartment or on furniture. I’m very understanding so please don’t feel wary of letting me know anything. I care about your dog's health and they’re a priority for me. So, besides health conditions, let me know about your dog's personality :)
