Thank you Joyce! Joyce is a great communicator and is good at getting our dog to take her medication. Our dog always has a great time with Joyce
joyce is awesome, always so caring and basil loves to stay with her. thank you as always!!!
basil always loves his stays! thank you joyce!!
Joyce was incredible with Meelo! They frequently sent photos during our trip away and updates on how he's doing. It looked like Meelo felt right at home with Joyce. We appreciate their attention detail about Meelo's care plan and asking clarifying questions to ensure they provide the best care for Meelo. We will definitely be re-booking Joyce for our future trips and recommend anyone considering to book with Joyce! Thanks for taking care of our little one Joyce!
About Joyce V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live near several dog parks perfect for active and social dogs and enjoy daily walks as much as the dogs do. My building also has a pet relief area for dogs who need to go out, but don’t always like to be around other dogs. I also keep my apartment tidy and clean with pet-friendly products between each booking.
Home
Information Joyce V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has specific needs or if they have any allergies. Certain behaviors are also helpful to know such as if they are leash reactive, if they have a tendency to bark at people or other dogs, or if they have any anxiety and what that looks like for them. Also any tips for more making sure they are comfortable in a new environment are always welcome!
A typical day
This will depend on the dog and how long they will be in my care. For all dogs I will ask what a normal routine is for them, such as how many times they need to go out or if they prefer longer or shorter walks, and how they like to play, so I can adhere to what your dog is used to. I like taking dogs to nearby Denny Park and Lake Union or a dog friendly coffee shop in the neighborhood.

Availability
I currently work from home part of the week, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for walks and keeping your dog company. I like to stick to the dog’s normal routine and will adjust my schedule as needed to accommodate.
