Ms. Joyce is absolutely 💯 amazing! She was incredible with Pepper and Pepper had a beautiful time at her home. Her home is gorgeous, super clean and is puppy/dog friendly. This was our 1st time having our dog stay with Ms. Joyce and it definitely won't be our last. Thank you Ms. Joyce! Pepper loves you!

Joyce did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Wickett! She sent us pictures throughout his stay which brightened our day knowing he was having fun. I will definitely use Joyce again for our next trip 😁

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Joyce! She took such wonderful care of our sweet Biscuit while we were out of town, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving and capable hands. Joyce went above and beyond—not only keeping us updated with photos, videos and messages, but also making sure Biscuit stuck to his routine and felt right at home. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, and we came back to a happy, relaxed pup. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am retired dog lovers who spend our time at home with our dogs and would love to add more doggy friends to my routine! My house has a fenced backyard for frequent potty breaks and playtime! I love to give the dogs treats once or twice a day during my coffee breaks.

Pets

A typical day

I love to stimulate pets with puzzle games, toys, playing fetch in the yard. Due to my age, I do not offer walks for higher energy dogs, but I am happy to spend extra time playing outside in the yard.
