Availability

I work from home, and accommodate my schedule based on Brie’s needs, which is waking up at 8:30 am for a walk and breakfast, taking her out every 2-3 hours to potty, 5:30 pm dinner, and 1-long walk (1 hr) in the afternoon. I plan to treat your pet like they’re my own, and so yes, they are allowed on furniture and in bed. I can work with you to accommodate the schedule of your pet, just let me know!

I live in a 800 sq ft apartment with a balcony. My apartment has a dog park, and is dog-friendly. My partner and I always keep an eye on Brie and plan to do the same with your pup. We make sure that there’s nothing toxic or random on the floors that’s accessible for the dogs to eat.

Information Joyce L. would like to know about your pet

- Do they have any allergies? Do they have a sensitive stomach? - How are they with sharing toys, food, and water? - What is their poop schedule? - Do they have any medication? - How are they with playing with other pups? - Are they scared of anything? - What do they love doing?

A typical day

We take Brie on a walk around the neighborhood, which is perfect because she gets the chance to run around the local dog parks and meet other neighborhood dogs. We occasionally take her to local parks and hikes that are dog friendly. At home, we have infinite toys that we love playing fetch, tug-o-war, and catch with.

Pet care experience

Growing up, I’ve always loved dogs. Fun fact, I wanted to be veterinarian when I was young, and watched a ton of Animal channel to learn more about dogs and animals. I also volunteered at local pet adoption centers to take care of dogs and cats. In 2020, I began to work from home, and started my own journey of taking care of animals by first fostering senior dogs. I then moved in with my boyfriend, who grew up with dogs and cats in his household, and we got our own pup, Brie! She’s a mini golden doodle, and almost 2 years old. After 2 years of fostering and taking care of my own pup, I’ve gotten more hands on experience, such as walking, bathing, and feeding. I always shower Brie will a ton of affection, she’s like my own child. I understand how stressful it is to find someone good to take care of your own pup — you can count on me to take care of your pup like they’re my own and you’ll get plenty of updates / photos throughout the day!

Joyce & Viet were amazing! I cannot recommend them enough. It was our first time leaving Rosie alone with a sitter (apart from family) so I was really nervous about how she would do. Joyce & Viet were kind enough to set up a meet & greet before and answer all my questions. We got frequent updates throughout the weekend and Rosie had sooo much fun with them and Brie! They really eased all my worries, and Rosie was very well taken care of. I highly recommend!

Joyce and Viet were amazing sitters for our mini goldendoodle, Bella! Plenty of photo updates daily and they made sure to keep us updated on her walk and potty schedule. They were even nice enough to meet up for a short meet and greet before booking. During Bella’s stay, she had some bad eye boogers but Viet and Joyce made sure to clean it daily and keep us posted on it. I was so happy to also see Bella got along great with their cute dog Brie! We really appreciate you watching Bella so we could enjoy vacation. Thank you again!
