Pet care experience

Dogs are welcome under our wroof!

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

Boarding • Sep 19, 2026

This was the first extended time our dog Sophie stayed with Joyce. She is 14 years old and we had never left her with anyone outside of our next door neighbors. Joyce and family were great with her, sending us pictures and videos to assure us Sophie was doing well. So this all worked out great, and we are already re-booked with Joyce for our next trip!

Great environment, lovely family. Konie really enjoyed being around other fur buddies.

Joyce and her family have become like a second family for our shy girl! Leaving Miley can be so stressful for us because she’s always been anxious around other people but, whenever she is with Joyce, we have peace of mind that she is comfortable and happy. I would absolutely recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a welcoming and caring home away from home!

Joyce did a wonderful job boarding my dog while I was on vacation! She was communicative and organized. I enjoyed receiving pictures and videos of what they were up to while I was out; and my dog came home happy and healthy. I'd absolutely leave my dog with her family again!

Joyce did a great job watching my dog! She provided regular updates and photos, and she made sure all his medication was administered.

We’re always happy to see the daily photos from Joyce showing how kindly her family treats our little pup. We can relax on vacation knowing that Raley is comfortable and cuddled.

Schedule

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) who are 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!

A typical day

We love playing games and running around the yard. We'll take your dog for walks around the neighborhood a few times a day to sniff to their heart's content
