Your Peace of Mind Pet Companion

Pet care experience

As a child I was covered in kittens from head to toe at my uncle’s farm every summer, grew up with cats of my own and then discovered dogs! Oh my! I raised two dogs from puppies and rescued another two senior dogs, so at one time I was caring for 4 senior dogs (one was blind) and adored every minute. In high school, my first job was a kennel caretaker for a veterinarian—while this wasn’t always pleasant, I was so happy there because I was engaging with and caring for animals. I feel so privileged that I still get to work with dogs and cats! I am currently available full time to meet your dog sitting needs! If you have a pet that needs someone home most or all of the time I’m your gal :) I am extremely careful about keeping doors closed and using leashes, and would never attempt to walk more than one large dog at a time. Whatever instructions you give me will be followed to the letter! In addition, I have training in canine CPR/First Aid.

Joyce is incredible! She is an outstanding person and so amazing with dogs. My dogs fell in love with her immediately. She sent me pictures and videos every day I was away. I felt so comfortable leaving my pups with her and never would never want to leave them with anyone else. I can not recommend her enough. Thank you so much Joyce!

Joyce took care of my puppy while he was sick and I am so thankful it was her with him while I was away on a trip!

I’m blown away. Joyce was everything and more for our puppy. This was the first time we left him and she made him feel loved and cared for the entire time. She kept us informed she was spoiling him and treated our home with so much respect. We hope Joyce will have us again because it was an honor meeting her and knowing our dog was in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is always my #1 priority—we love our dogs the same as family (if not more?!) You know your pet and your household and neighborhood situation best so I will always follow whatever instructions you provide. And since you being away is a stressor for your pet, I want to know how I can best make them comfortable and soothe any anxiety. Each animal is unique and needs specialized care and consistency to keep stress at a minimum. I want to know EVERYTHING about them!

Information Joyce K. would like to know about your pet

The more I know the better I can care for your pet, especially since each animal can have such a unique personality. I want to make them feel as comfortable as possible while you are away, so safety as well as preventing any unnecessary stress are critical!

A typical day

Whatever your dog loves your dog will get (with your permission of course)! Walking the neighborhood, sniffing the entire neighborhood ?, running and playing in the back yard, snuggle and wrassle time, playing fetch, tug o war and tag indoors, a trip to the dog park—I’m always up for whatever makes your pup happy, content, and tuckered out!
