Safety, trust & environment

I joined Rover because, as the owner of three cats, I struggled to find a reliable sitter who provides daily photo updates. When you leave, you should feel confident your pets are in good hands — I’ll treat them like my own and keep you informed with regular photos and attentive care.

Information Joyce W. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about any special needs or behaviors—I’m comfortable administering medications and will monitor any specific health or behavioral concerns you’d like me to watch for.

A typical day

I tailor care to each pet’s needs—providing physical and mental exercise like play sessions or neighborhood walks, or relaxing snuggles if they prefer—and I adjust activities based on how they’re feeling each day.

Joyce has been an absolute gift to both us and our dog. She is dependable, kind, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog’s personality and needs, and it shows in every interaction. Joyce communicates well, is consistently reliable, and gives us real peace of mind knowing our dog is in such capable hands. Beyond simply walking dogs, she genuinely cares for the animals she works with, and that level of trust is hard to find. We highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and compassionate dog walker.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
