About Joyce M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a very friendly Chihuahua to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed. My cats ignore dogs that don't want to play. If your dog dislikes cats, I am able to separate their living areas while your dog is on-site.
Home
Information Joyce M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your fur baby has special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I don't weight enough to be able to handle large breed dogs on outings so prefer not to board dogs weighing more than 50 pounds. Please let me know if your dog does not like cats; I am able to provide separate living areas during your dog's boarding time.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your pets physically and mentally. We'll check out the neighborhood, explore Codorus State Park near my house, and there are lots of toys available for play time.

Pet care experience
Home Environment I live in a spacious house featuring a securely fenced back yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets to play and relax. My Chihuahua, who is notably sociable and friendly, enjoys interacting with other dogs, cats, and people alike. Resident Pets In addition to my Chihuahua, I share my home with two cats that I rescued from the local animal shelter. Both cats are well-adjusted and accustomed to living with dogs. Typically, after a brief introduction consisting of a few sniffs and perhaps a hiss, they are able to coexist peacefully with other cats. Experience and Availability Since retiring from the Army, I am available around the clock to care for your beloved pet. With more than 26 years of experience in owning and caring for both dogs and cats, I am well-versed in understanding and meeting their unique needs. Commitment to Care I promise to care for your pet as if it were my own, ensuring its safety, comfort, and happiness. Every animal entrusted to me is treated as an extended and respected member of my household.

Reviews
We recently had to board our dog, Coco, with Joyce on very short notice due to a family emergency. We can’t thank her enough for her incredible care and support during this difficult time. From the moment we dropped Coco off, it was clear she was in good hands. Joyce was attentive, kind, and made sure Coco felt comfortable and loved. We truly appreciate the extra effort Joyce put into making our pup feel at home. We’ll definitely be returning for future boarding needs. Thank you, Joyce, for being such a wonderful host!
What a wonderful experience! Joyce took exceptional care of our beloved Yorkie while we were away. She provided our Vanellope with lots of love and attention and even sent us pictures and texts of her day! I would highly recommend using Joyce as your pet sitter!
Joyce was excellent to my dachshund, Sophie! I left her Fri- Monday. When I picked her up, she was just as happy as ever- and playing with Joyce's chihuahua! Surprised me: Sophie usually takes a while to warm up to new dogs, but Joyce knew what to do. Highly recommend Joyce- she made Sophie feel right at home.
I can always tell when she had fun, she comes home exhausted from playing. I definitely will be keeping Joyce in my contacts.
