Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH Care + Fenced Backyard 🐶🏡
Your pup will get a cozy, home-away-from-home stay with plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, walks, and backyard time. My partner and I both work from home, so we’re around throughout the day, and we only accept one client’s dog(s) at a time. We live in a spacious pet-friendly duplex with a fully fenced backyard, along with our two sweet, friendly small dogs and our calm cat. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and beds and can make themselves completely at home here. I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and ages all of my life and have experience with senior and special-needs dogs as well as administering oral medication. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, potty, and sleeping routines so their stay feels as familiar and comfortable as possible. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like part of our family while you’re away—not simply like they’re being boarded. ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Joyce and her partner took great care of dumpling and provided plenty of pictures and videos of dumpling. Will use them again
Phoebe loved Joyce and her partner! Joyce was extremely communicative, sending lots of adorable pics. Would book again in a heartbeat!
First of all Joyce loves animals especially dogs. She grew up with dogs and very responsible for them. She has adopted a disabled dog and took care if him patiently. She will love and take care of dogs with her heart surely .
Joyce is a true animal lover with a heart of gold! She previously adopted a senior dog who had mobility issues and took extremely good care of him until his passing. She was very patient with him and helped him walk and eat when it was hard for him to do so on his own. She now has two dogs who are both under the age of 2 so she has experience with dogs of all ages! She always goes above and beyond for her dogs and frequents Central Park for long walks. I have a dog of my own and would 100% trust Joyce with her anytime!

Schedule
We are a couple and both work from home, so we have a lot of time and flexibility to care for an additional dog. We’d love to watch your dog just as our own during the day while you’re at work, when you travel, or if an emergency comes up :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We only accept one client’s dog(s) at a time so we can provide plenty of individual attention and maintain a calm environment. We’re home throughout the day and can provide frequent potty breaks on walks and in our fully fenced backyard. Our home is very dog-friendly, with extra beds, blankets, toys and pet stairs for easy access to the couch and bed. Dogs are welcome on our furniture and can sleep wherever they’re most comfortable unless they prefer otherwise. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible and are happy to provide regular photo/video updates throughout their stay. Safety and comfort come first, so we always want to know about any medical needs, allergies, behavioral quirks or sensitivities beforehand.
Pets
A typical day
Mornings usually start with a potty break, breakfast, and some lounging before our first walk. Since we are home, your pup will have company throughout the day and plenty of opportunities for attention, playtime and potty breaks. Depending on your dog’s energy level, we’ll take short or longer neighborhood walks and can spend time playing or relaxing in our fenced backyard. Lower-energy pups are equally welcome to spend the afternoon snoozing on the couch beside me :) In the evening, we’ll have dinner, another walk or backyard break, and plenty of cozy downtime. I’m happy to keep your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible.
