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.

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!
