Pet care experience

Gray/Charles Pet Services

I have a great love of animals and believe they deserve the best of care in all situations. In the past I have volunteered with Animal Rescue and BARCS and have willingly taken care of pets for friends and relatives. I recently took in the dog of a friend who passed away suddenly, and took care of him until his last year, which was April of 2016. I have a decent size fenced in yard and places nearby where dogs can be walked, which I would do once or twice a day. I have one cat who is very tolerant of dogs, and a 21-year-old son who lives with me who is also a huge animal lover. I would be happy to take care of your pets either for the day or overnight on a long or short term basis. I prefer to do this in my home, and I can pick the dog(s) up if transportation is an issue. I look forward to meeting with your pets and establishing a good relationship.

Amazing care for my Maxie Girl and me! Second time leaving her and Ms. Joyce and family took care of her as if she was theirs and spoiled her even more with love, hugs and comfy snuggle time ❤! Thank you.

Joyce was great! She has plenty of experience with dogs so I felt very comfortable in choosing her. She was very communicative and kind. She sent lots of photos and video, which I appreciated. The dogs were always very happy each one. I can tell they definitely had a great time with Joyce and if I need to leave my dogs with anyone, I will definitely be choosing her again!

Joyce made sure to take care of my fur babies while away on vacation. Thank you again for keeping them happy.

Joyce is wonderful with Louie. He was well cared for and tired when he got home from a fun day. Thanks!
