Animal Loving Home

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom that loves dogs. The bigger the better! I’ve always loved animals and have had a pet most of my life. I’ve raised a rat, mouse, rabbit, turtle, 2 dogs, and some fish. I can’t ever imagine a life without a furry friend by my side. My dream life would be to raise 8 labs at once. Since I can’t afford to feed 8 dogs I’d love to have some furry visitors from time to time to fill my heart. We’re a family of 3 and we find so much joy interacting with all kinds of animals. My 12-year-old daughter is an only child and simply adores our 8-year-old lab. We’d love to meet your pup and make them feel welcome in their home away from home. I hope you’ll choose us to care for your loved ones while you’re away. P.S. This is the best job I've ever had. I fall in love with your furbabies as soon as I lay eyes on their profile and I miss them terribly when they leave. Thanks so much for letting me enjoy your babies while you're away. **As of October 12, 2020, in an effort to better serve our growing clientele and the repeat clients that we value so much, we will no longer be accepting only one client at a time. We will accept up to 3 dogs at a time not including our own. Particularly during holidays, there will be a high likelihood that your dog will be boarding with other dogs. However, be assured that we require meet and greets with all new clients and many of the dogs that your dog may be boarding with will be dogs that we have boarded previously and are familiar with. We will only accept dogs that do well with other dogs and that are well socialized. Our first priority is for the safety of the dogs we care for and our family. I hope you will have confidence that the level of care your dog will receive will not be diminished in any way, but rather, your dog may even enjoy being in the company of other dogs as well. Please be aware that the change to this policy is more so to be able to serve our clients when needed and not to maximize our earnings. We most definitely will not accept more dogs than we can handle. Thank you so much for placing your confidence in our ability to care for your loved ones.

I felt so much peace of mind while I was out of town and Joyce took care of Rip. She was very communicative and provided great updates with photos to make sure I didn't for a second wonder if he was doing alright. He passed out as soon as he got home so I know he had a fun time at Joyce's with her dog Belle. Will rebook in the future!

I knew from Joyce's photo that my dog Wallace would love her and her family. And he did. She returns messages promptly and she was able to schedule a meet and greet within a day of our first messages. I scheduled a trip with her and then at the last moment I had to schedule another weekend last minute due to a family emergency. She squeezed me in no problem. When we arrived Wallace was excited to get out of the car. He loved their dog Bella and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Joyce was very accommodating when we had a last-minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pics every day. Highly recommend her.

Information Joyce K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any behavioral concerns that your dog may have such as chewing, anxiety, fear of men, lack of appetite, etc. I will also need to know if there are any health concerns and/or any medications they are taking.

A typical day

Our lab is 8 years old, but still rambunctious and will play with your pup if they want to play. She will also nap with your pup if they want to nap. We have a yard large enough for dogs to play in. We will play fetch if they love the ball. When we have multiple dogs boarding it is challenging to get them all out for a walk. However, they have a blast playing with each other and running around in the yard.

I'm a stay-at-home mom and my husband works from home most days. Between the 2 of us someone will be home a majority of the time. Aside from raising my daughter, pet sitting is my only job.
