Former guide dog puppy trainer
Pet care experience
I have worked with several Guide Dog Foundations raising and training guide dog puppies for nearly 12 years. Additionally, I have worked with the local Humane Society as a dog walker, dog bather and foster mother for the past ten years. And I have also volunteered off site at numerous charity events for the Humane Society. I have extensive experience with a variety of sizes, breeds of dogs, temperaments and medical needs. I am young, fit and healthy and can handle the physical exertion necessary to handle the activity level of any dog. I do not have a job outside my home, so your dog will have my full and undivided attention. Whether they are elderly or young, I will devote myself to making sure that they are loved and comfortable. Also I think I should make it clear that I personally do not have any dogs. But I think that a lot of people are confusing my profile with my calendar. I usually DO have other dogs in my house if your dog is a dog that needs to be an only dog than I would not be a good fit for you because there are usually other dogs in the house.
Reviews
Wonderful, accommodating, lots of pictures of my pup, immediately responsive, all around perfect experience.
Mardi had a wonderful time playing with other pups today! Thanks so much Joyce!
Thanks Joyce for taking such great care of Denali for us! Joyce’s communication before and during Denali’s stay was fantastic. We received daily pictures and updates. Denali had a wonderful time and we had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands.
Joyce was a fantastic sitter for our 3 dogs! The dogs were at ease at her house, well taken care of and she was a great communicator. Highly recommend using Joyce!

I have a fenced in yard. I have an enclosed lanai. They have full reign of the house. And at night they all sleep in the bedroom with me so nobody is scared or alone

Information Joyce O. would like to know about your pet
If the dog has any special dietary needs or medications I would need to know that. Please advise of any behaviors that are particular to your dog that I should be aware of
A typical day
They have full reign of the backyard to play and run and chase each other and interact with other dogs. If they prefer just to hang out on the Lanai and sunbathe that's fine too
