Availability

I'm looking for part-time work as I want to go back to school this fall. I love animals , the outdoors, and a good walk! (I have limited availability on the weekends, please inquire and we may be able to make it work!) Overnight stays: I will try to spend as much time at your house as you want me to, but I may have a few errands to run during the day and make sure my own dogs stretch their legs too.

Information Joyce S. would like to know about your pet

Special rules and/or commands? Feeding schedule Potty schedule (or litter box care) Walk schedule ( if applicable ) Pet likes/dislikes Any allergies, injuries, or illness How should I dispose of pet waste? And anything extra you would like for me to take care of.

A typical day

I love a good walk! Short or long. It tends to get their bowels moving to ensure a potty visit is successful! If I'm not walking, I'm enjoying their company, brushing, throwing the ball, toys, and basking in the sunshine with lots of pets! I'll also do light cleaning if I have excess time.

Pet care experience

Hey there, I'm Joyce and I've been taking care of my neighbors and friends animals for most of my life (25+ years). I do have limited availability for weekends until April 2026, but if your pets are flexible - we can make it work! Just ask ❤️ I am partial to dogs, but guess who can change a litter box too? Me! I also love cats and other critters. I also use Rover when I'm out of town, so I know what it's like. I hold high standards for myself and the care of your pet(s). Your pet will be treated like my own (I have 3), with respect and a lot of love! FRIDAY: I have limited availability in the afternoon. I will be available 6am to 3pm. And will be available again for a late night visit at 11pm (earlier if I am able). *SAT/SUNDAY* I AM available for an early morning visit (6:00am) and then anytime after 4:30pm-9:30 pm

Joyce was so amazing! She went far above and beyond when one of my dogs had an upset stomach, not once, but twice. She went as far as bringing extra cleaning supplies to clean up the mess. Not only that, but she offered to clean kitty boxes and water my plants. I can’t express my gratitude enough.

Joyce took excellent care of our 3 babies. She was very attentive and understanding of all of their needs. We will definitely be using her services again!
