Pet care experience

I grew up with cats and currently have a Shiba Inu named Swift who has taught me to be very patient. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and trying to teach them tricks. (:

Joyce is wonderful! She exceeded my expectations. I am really picky about who I leave my two kitties with, so I sought out a referral. I received her name from another rover user that also uses Joyce. She is kind, responsive, and responsible. She sends pictures of every visit - I’m still trying to figure out how she takes such great pictures :-)) They are amazing and really bring comfort. I’m already planning on requesting her services again next month.

Seriously the best cat sitter we've ever had! Joyce kept us updated everyday with so many great photos that I have an album where I just saved all the best ones. I could see how the cats played in the photos and how Joyce was creative with moving things around to keep them stimulated. Milk and Mochi were very cared for in the entire month they were left in her care!

Information Joyce H. would like to know about your pet

Is the dog trained and housebroken (potty), their feeding schedule, how often do I need to walk them, commands they know, what they are allowed or not allowed to do, their energy level, playing style, do they guard resources, do they have separation anxiety, are they allergic to any foods, etc.

A typical day

I start my day off in the early mornings by walking the dogs and then preparing their food. If the weather permits, I like taking them out to nearby dog parks - my go-to is usually Hamilton dog park. After breakfast, I will walk the dogs about every 4 hours depending on how much water they drank and when they wake up from their naps.
