Pet care experience
Are you looking for a reliable, trustworthy, caring, and ethical dog sitter? If so, look no further! My Experience: I have previous experience as a dog kennel attendant, feeding, walking, and providing non-medical care to a diverse dog population. I have experiencing handling dogs as small as miniature poodles and dogs as large as bermese mountain dogs. I also personally own a 5 year-old golden retriever who I have raised since she was 2 years old. I also have owned labrador retriever mixes and lhasa apso mixes. I can feed or walk your dog. I can take him/her for potty breaks. I can even take your dog to the dog park. My availability is during lunch hours Monday-Friday (roughly around noon-1pm) and mornings and afternoons on weekends. My fees are $20/half hour or $30/hour.
Reviews
I have known Joyce since Jr.High and she's always loved animals, especially dogs. While growing up, she had two dogs. She always put their routines and well-being in the forefront; she made sure that they were fed and walked prior to hanging out with friends. She also has professional experience working with dogs as she was a kennel attendant. Joyce's love and knowledge of dogs is very apparent! Joyce is someone I would strongly recommend.
I have seen Joyce first hand take care of her Golden Retriever, Molly, for the last 5 years. Joyce is a caring and loving dog owner. She will do anything to make sure Molly is happy and healthy. I would not hesitate for a second to have her watch my dog.
About Joyce F.
Safety, trust & environment
Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. I first owned a dog when I was 13 years old (Scruffy, a Lhasa Apso mix and Pandora, a Labrador Retriever mix). Scruffy and Pandora were both about 3 months old when our family adopted them. They lived with us until Pandora passed away at 12 years old and Scruffy at 18 years old. Then I adopted my Golden Retriever, Molly, when she was 2 months old in January 2009. She is still with my family until this day. I was the primary caretaker for all my dogs, even during my teen years. I also worked for several years as a dog kennel attendant starting in 2001 at Saratoga School for Dogs and Boarding until 2004.
Information Joyce F. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with all types of breeds: Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, Great Danes, Bermese Mountain Dogs, Cairn Terriers, Malteses, Lhasa Apsos, Schnauzers (mini, standard, and giant), Poodles (mini and standard), and mixed breeds to name a few.
