Pet care experience
Dog loving couple seeks cuddles
Our dog Sugar passed away in May 2026 after we had her for 13.5 years. She was our constant companion and now we miss the pitter patter of feet in the house. We're not ready to adopt a dog yet, but we would love to watch dogs for others to bring some life back to our home and to have the chance to spoil a little furry baby again. We took great care of Sugar when we had her. We gave her the best diets as her body changed, brushed her teeth daily, took her on 1-2 walks a day, and brought her on car rides which were her favorite. We gained a lot of experience taking care of her, especially as she aged. We've watched friends' dogs many times and also fostered one pup. We would love to watch yours and give them all the cuddles!

Ratings and reviews
Joyce and Garret did great with our girl Lyla! Was very short notice and they were very accommodating. Would definitely use again!
We had a wonderful experience with Levi! Joyce took great care of my energetic poodle pup and kept him happy, active, and well cared for. He was so excited to see them again too, which says everything about how comfortable and loved he felt. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend Joyce! 🐩😊
Joyce is hands down the most dog-loving person I know, and my dog Mia adores her. She doesn’t just watch my dog, she genuinely connects with her. She’s even taught Mia a few tricks! She’s so patient, kind, and attentive, and she always goes above and beyond what I expect. What really sets Joyce apart is how much she loves animals at her core. The way she cares for her own dog has honestly inspired me to be a better dog parent myself. If you want someone who will treat your pup like their own, Joyce is your person. I can’t recommend her enough.

Schedule
We both work from home everyday and always take a walk after lunch if the weather is good. We have a fenced yard where we can let your dog out to potty and sniff all the good smells.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our house has very easy access to the outside with no kid or pets. Dogs can go anywhere in the house and on the furniture if they like that. We can also put up a wall to prevent them from going up the stairs if you prefer. My default is to give updates daily about how they're doing, eating, and pooping, but if you need more or less than that, I can accommodate!
A typical day
We'll take the dog out at least once a day. We like slow walks where the dog can sniff everything and take their time. We also like casual jogs ~3 miles and nearby hikes or visits to the dog park. Since we work from home, there will be lots of pets during the day. Morning and nights will probably involve lots of cuddles in bed or on the couch.
