Joyce and Patrick were great! I felt Lola was in great hands, and allowed me to feel at ease knowing she was being well taken care of. I received multiple updates and photos throughout the day. They were very accommodating with last minute flight delays. I would not hesitate to rebook. Thank you both again for taking such great care of Lola!

I cannot recommend Joyce and Patrick enough! I am the owner of a reactive, vocal terrier mix who usually struggles with new environments and strangers. We already began setting the stage for Ori to begin to become familiar with Joyce and Patrick prior to my big trip. However, I was nervous to leave him for a week long international trip, but Joyce and Patrick made the entire process seamless. Joyce sent frequent photo updates of Ori sunbathing in their backyard splooting on their floor and loafing on the couch, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. They truly treated him like their own. If you have a sensitive or high needs dog, Joyce and Patrick are the absolute best choice. Joyce will absolutely become my go-to whenever I need my pup to have safe place to stay!

Safety, trust & environment

When boarding your pets, we can offer them plenty of love and attention! For dogs, we usually do at least 2 walks per day (we keep the afternoon ones short if it's too hot). We have a large fenced-in backyard and a few parks in walking distance. For cats, we love playing with them with wand toys or simple yarn, or putting some Cat TV on for them haha.

A typical day

Happy to match your pet's usual activity level! I can play with them at home (puzzles, fetch, etc.) or take them for a long walk.
