I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm available to board your pet any day of the week and quite flexible with drop off and pick up times. We are a family of 4 (with two teenagers) dog lovers and all actively involved in their care. We give them lots of attention, take them for walks, play with them and keep to their regular routine so that they don't miss their family too much. There's almost always someone at home with them, and especially on their first day here. We can accommodate up to three dogs in our home and we can give them their own space if necessary. We don't currently have a pet as our beloved dog passed away recently, but we've been enjoying having all your wonderful dogs stay with us

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back and front yard so there's a lot of secured space for them to roam around in. Dogs are allowed on furniture (of course!) and allowed to sleep in our bed if that's what they are used to. We are especially attentive to them on their first day with us because we know that they miss their family and home. We'll care for your dogs like they are our own pets!

Pet care experience

I've had animals my whole life; we grew up with dogs, chickens, rabbits and fish. As an adult I had dogs as soon as I had a place of my own, and so I've had experience caring for them for more than 35 years. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog and would love to show the same care to your beloved pet

Joyce made our dog feel at home. She sent many photos and videos showing the many “pets” he was receiving from her and showing him happy on her bed or walking with his tail up. Joyce is a very good communicator, mature and a kind person. We felt very comfortable leaving Bingo in her care. We are happy we found such a good pet sitter and will use her again!

Joyce was great! My doggies were happy while in her care and that gave me a peace of mind! Joyce was mindful of any requests I had and I love that my babies were able to sleep in bed with her which made them feel at ease at night. I’d definitely call her again for any sitting needs.. Thanks again Joyce! You’re the best!

Joyce was great, highly recommend! She stepped up last minute to watch Jackson over the holiday, and her communication was fantastic throughout. I will absolutely be booking with her again!

I can see from the photos that Raley is comfortable at Joyce’s house. Raley gets the cuddles and care with Joyce that she gets at home with us. Knowing that Raley is well taken care of makes our vacations easier!
