Information Joyce L. would like to know about your pet

Please share your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. It’s helpful to know about feeding schedules, medications, triggers, leash behavior, and how they interact with other dogs or people. The more I know in advance, the better I can keep them safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. We’ll enjoy engaging walks, playtime with their favorite toys, mental enrichment games, and plenty of affection. My goal is to keep pets active, happy, and comfortable while maintaining the routines they know and love. 🐾

Joyce was excellent! Took care not only of our cat’s basic needs but also giving her additional attention and care so we knew she wasn’t too lonely. Joyce also noted some issues with our cat’s automatic feeder and otherwise that we were able to address right away when we returned.

Joyce was reliable and communicative. She took good care of my cat while I was away!

I’m not really sure what went wrong here. For all of my visits, I only ever received one photo (per visit) and no notes about my cat or how she was doing. I had to keep following up to ask if she was taking her medicine and am still not sure about the last day. The litter box was only cleaned once in four days, and I had asked for the wet food to be thrown away at the end of every visit so my cat wouldn’t get sick, but when I returned in the evening the wet food was still out (leftover from the 8 am visit). Maybe it was just an off visit, but my cat and I are both pretty stressed out.
