Laguna Woods - This is my FT job!
Hi! I am Joyce, a RoverGO Sitter. Retired, I have all the time in the world to spend caring for your sweet four legged companion and giving him all of the love he most certainly deserves. For the past 15 years I have been dog sitting for my neighbors, friends, and family members when they go out of town. I take pride in being the "go-to" dog sitter for many of my neighbors when they go on vacation. I love having adorable dog guests come over to my home and each one becomes a very special honorary member of my family. I just love dogs. I have been having dogs stay with me for over ten years now. I love how they all have their own unique personalities. It is wonderful to get to know them and see them enjoying life. I must admit I learn a lot from dogs. I am home full time, and I am also one of the RoverGO pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home interview with a home inspection. My fees for each overnight stay of up to 24 hours: $33 for a small dog up to 44 lbs., $38 for a dog 45-94 lbs., My fees are calculated in 24-hour increments. I live in a 55+ community and we have lots of common areas for dogs to run and play. Although I would prefer not to do injections, I will gladly make sure that your beloved pup receives whatever oral medications are required. You can count on me to give the proper dosage at the right time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Ratings and reviews
Joyce has been a blessing to our dog Oliver and to my family over the years. Oliver enjoyed the special attention he received from Joyce and we loved the over the top care he received from Joyce. As Oliver got older, Joyce easily adapted to his changing needs with love and grace. The only reason we could go on vacation was because Joyce was with our Oliver. Joyce sent us pictures of Oliver while we were gone so we can see he was doing good! Also, Joyce took great care of our house and it was always welcoming upon our return. We are grateful to Joyce for her care and special connection with Oliver over the years...and also with us. We always felt very comfortable while she was in our home with Oliver!
We have used her many times! Just excellent! My Roxi loves to see her! Very comfortable going away and leaving our dog in great hands!
Suki had another wonderful stay with Joyce. We were kept updated throughout the week on her activities. Thank you so much for keeping our girl safe and thriving during our trip.
Joyce is the BEST! We have used her multiple times . This was just a drop in but she left Roxie a new bunny toy! How sweet! Look forward to her staying with Roxi and giving the best care in August!
Joyce is a wonderful pet sitter! She is so great with our Roxi and Roxi likes her so much! Good communication and we trust her with our pet and home!! She is our to go person for sure !
Joyce has been watching our older German Shepherd for several years in our home. We feel totally relaxed when we leave for vacation when Auntie Joyce is watching and taking care of our dog. Our dog loves her and when he sees our suitcases, he knows Auntie Joyce is coming over and I noticed his anxiety (of us leaving) has significantly been reduced. Joyce gives him his medication and takes him on walks. Most important, she gives him lots of love and attention. Joyce also stays in our house, takes care of our mail, and when we return everything is warm and inviting. I highly recommend Joyce to take care of your loved fur baby.
