Ratings and reviews
Joyce took wonderful care of our pup once again--he was happy to see her when we dropped him off and looked happy and healthy when we picked him up. Joyce is such a pleasure to work with and goes the extra mile. She took him on some long walks and sent us lots of pics. Couldn't ask for a more responsible caretaker!
Joyce is great. She is very responsible, accommodating, and personable. She was very understanding of our dog, and he seemed very happy and calm when we picked him up. While we were away she sent lots of nice photos and messages. It was reassuring to know that our dog was in such good hands.
It was a delight working with Joyce. I received photos with comments daily. Sammy was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely return to Joyce when we have another trip.

Joyce took wonderful care of our pup, and sent many updates with pictures. Thank you!

We are so glad that we found Joyce! Our dog stayed with her for 9 days and received great care. He is an active foxhound and enjoyed daily walks, playtime, and running around in Joyce's large, fenced back yard. He also enjoyed sharing the home with Joyce's sweet dogs. Our dog has fears (noises, some vehicles and large dogs) and can react strongly to them. Joyce made sure that he was safe. We are so grateful to Joyce and look forward to utilizing her help when we travel again!

Joyce is the perfect pet sitter for our dog, Darla. She has a large fenced in yard and provided walks, photos, and lots of updates. She asked lots of questions to help make sure Darla was well cared for while we were away, and I felt she was in great hands with Joyce.

Schedule
Pet care is part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide attentive care, frequent walks, and companionship throughout the day. My home environment ensures that dogs receive personalized attention and a comforting routine that balances play, exercise, and rest. Additionally, I have availability for daycare & boarding, making it easy for pet parents to work and travel worry-free, knowing their furry friends are in a home setting with extra walks, yard time, and plenty of affection. Whether it's daily exercise, meal schedules, or special care needs, I tailor my routine to ensure every dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. 🐶❤️🏡

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, loving, and home-like environment for every dog in my care. My home features a secure 6-foot fence on 1/2 an acre, giving dogs plenty of space to run, play, and relax safely. I also live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with scenic trails, where I take dogs on daily walks and outdoor adventures tailored to their energy levels. Whether they need exercise, enrichment, or rest time, I ensure each furry guest receives personalized care, attention, and affection—just like home! 🐶🏡🐾

A typical day
I love spending time outdoors, and it’s even better with dogs! Whether it’s long walks or short strolls tailored to each dog's needs, I make sure they get plenty of exercise and fresh air throughout the day. In addition to walks, we enjoy yard playtime and plenty of cuddle sessions to keep every pup happy and engaged. From sniffing new trails to relaxing in the sunshine, I make sure each dog has a fun and fulfilling experience while in my care! ☀️
