Safety, trust & environment

I would care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own and I am willing to accommodate whatever needs your pet may have. I do own my own home, but I do not have a fenced in backyard. Which means any outside potty breaks your pet would be on a leash with my full attention.

Pet care experience

I am currently an empty nester who can’t bear the heartbreaking loss of another fur baby. I have been around animals my whole life. Over my years I have had three cats and a chihuahua but I have been an animal free household since September 2022. I also recently retired so my availability is wide open right now which is why I am joining the Rover team now. It would make my heart happy to help you take care of your babies for whatever their needs may be 🐾

Joyce took wonderful care of Smooshie. When I got home later in the day, he was a happy sleepy pug. Joyce was great at communicating during her visit too, which is so important with an older dog. So happy that we met her through Rover!

Joyce is truly just the best! she constantly goes above and beyond for the dogs she watches. our dog henry came down with some tummy issues leading up to the weekend she was boarding him and she reorganized her plans to make sure that she would be able to be home with henry when he wasn’t feeling good. she administered medication & accommodated special meals for him. we always feel so comfortable leaving our dog with Joyce and could not be more grateful for her!

Joyce was amazing with our anxious dog and helped her feel comfortable with her first time away from us. She went above and beyond while taking care of Ruby and gave us constant updates. I would book with Joyce again without hesitation.
