Laguna Woods - This is my FT job!

Pet care experience

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!

We are so indebted to amazing Joyce. She took away all of our worries for our pup so that we could focus on caring for loved ones visiting from out of town for our son’s wedding week, making that precious time just what we had hope it would be. Joyce is a lovely, skillful, upbeat, kind, responsible, caring person, and it is a pleasure to be around her. She was wonderful with our pup, and he loves her. The world needs many more Joyces. We are grateful for our pup’s and our TLC from this one! ❤️?
