Pet care experience
Where Your Dog Feels Like Family!
Caring for dogs is second nature to me—I treat every pup like one of my own. Whether your dog needs daily medication, special injections, or just some extra patience and love, I’ve got it covered. I’m experienced with training puppies, understanding their needs, and keeping things calm and structured to help them thrive. I know every dog is different, so I adapt to their routine, quirks, and comfort level. You can expect thoughtful updates, lots of love, and a safe, cozy home where your pup will be treated like family. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior needing a little extra care, I’m here to make sure they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
We needed to find a pet sitter for our dog, Pepi, for a month, a long time to be away. Pepi is a small terrier rescue who can be timid and has particular eating habits. She’s very calm and needs a low key environment. We spent much time reviewing sitters seeking a place where Pepi could live a similar lifestyle as she does at home. So lucky, we found Joyce! She has two small sweet dogs. After we met, I felt confident that Pepi would be in good hands along with good doggy company. During our trip, we received photos and videos daily, many times twice a day. I could see Pepi was happy and enjoyed the company of her two lovely dogs. The photos showed walks, Pepi eating well while enjoying the doggie company. She made friends. I could tell Pepi was happy and I made the right choice. I highly recommend Joyce. She provided excellent care. She shopped for additional food for Pepi’s diet and let me know she was doing well. When planning the next time away, I would not hesitate arranging my schedule first to be sure Joyce would be available to care for Pepi. Thank you, Joyce, for everything you did to make Pepi happy and comfortable. You’re the best! 🐕🥰
Joyce was wonderful! She sent photo and video updates daily, informed of any observed issues, asked questions for anything I did not detail, and gave Tofu a lovely time away from home. Very grateful for her service, will absolutely book in the future!
We (more importantly Cody) loved his time at Joyce's! We really appreciated the updates and pictures too throughout his stay! Cody seemed to have warmed up so quickly and had a blast! We are definitely going to rebook with Joyce!
Joyce is great! You can tell she has a natural connection to animals. Our dog took a liking to her right away, and gets along wonderfully with her two dogs. We plan on using her services whenever we need a sitter in the future.
We were visiting LA and had to board our dog for a couple of days. Joyce and her roommate took good care of Chelsea. Sent photos and updates through the day. Chelsea came back extremely happy. I would recommend Joyce for boarding services
It was a great first experience using rover and getting so lucky with Joyce as she took great care of our pup, followed instructions and was very communicative throughout the whole process. We felt very comfortable having our pup in her care and received updates and photos through her stay. Would definitely recommend and work with her again!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I have two dogs of my own, so our routine is already built around walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Someone is always home, so your pup will never be left alone and will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, making it easy for you to plan trips or getaways knowing your dog has a safe, loving place to stay anytime.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a pet-friendly apartment with a secure balcony and plenty of nearby walking paths in a quiet residential area. For boarding, your pup will enjoy a cozy indoor space, regular potty breaks, and daily walks tailored to their energy level. Walks are calm, safe, and full of sniffing adventures!
