Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Loving Dog Walker!
Hi! I’m Joyce — a dog lover, active walker, and proud golden retriever mom to Sawyer! Being around dogs is one of my favorite parts of every day, and I treat every pup as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and great with both high-energy dogs who love long adventures and pups who prefer a slower, calmer pace. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a long walk to burn off energy, or just a friendly face they can trust, I’m here and happy to help!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Wanna relief to have someone so kind that we can trust with our fur babies! Joyce was such a pleasure to communicate with, and we can’t wait to use her in the future!
Outstanding … period
Joyce was very kind and took wonderful care of Molly. So grateful for her!
I can’t recommend Joyce enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have three animals. My dog Kaya and two cats, Bubs and Hazel. She has taken amazing care of all of them multiple times. Kaya absolutely lights up when she sees Joyce, and I swear my cats are obsessed with her. Joyce is reliable, patient, and genuinely loving with animals. She follows instructions perfectly, sends updates without me even asking, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my pets are with her. My animals can be a handful in different ways, and she handles each of them with so much calm and confidence. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like her own, Joyce is it. I trust her 100%, and so do Kaya, Bubs, and Hazel!!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
One of the biggest advantages of working with me is my very flexible schedule. I work from home and set my own hours, which means I can easily accommodate midday walks, last-minute requests, or a customized routine that fits your dog’s needs perfectly.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my priority, and I make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I’m attentive to details, consistent with instructions, and always send photo updates so you know your pup is having a great time.
Pets
A typical day
When I care for pets, I focus on keeping them active, engaged, and happy while sticking closely to their normal routines. Activities vary by each pet’s age, energy level, and personality, but often include neighborhood walks, sniff-and-explore time, play sessions with favorite toys, and outdoor time when appropriate. For higher-energy dogs, I love incorporating longer walks, light jogging, fetch, and mentally stimulating games. For calmer pets or seniors, I focus on gentle walks, enrichment toys, cuddles, and quiet companionship. I also enjoy practicing basic commands or reinforcing good manners if owners would like.
