Passionate Aussie Owner
Pet care experience
I currently live in Andover with 2 human roommates, my 1.5-year old Aussie pup, and a very well-behaved 6-year old cat. I have volunteered at an animal shelter for 5+ years and am experienced working with all types of dogs. When it comes to my Aussie, I have been vigilant with her training (and 100% about positive reinforcement), socializing, and exercise. We go on 3-4 walks a day, totaling 2+ hours of exercise and she gets plenty of snuggle time too. I will treat your furry friend as my own, providing all the exercise and love your pup needs. Also happy to help with any training goals! Moreover - I know what it's like to board your pup and not know what's going on, so I am an enthusiastic sender of pics/updates so you never have to worry!
Reviews
Joyce was attentive, communicative, and loving on our pup, Murray! She arranged a meet and greet, asked in advance about his comfort level with various things, and sent photos and updates throughout the day. We will definitely use Joyce again! Thank you!
Joyce is a true professional and goes out of her way to ensure your dog is well cared for and that you are completely comfortable with their stay by communicating how your dog is doing each and everyday and what she did with your dog each day. She also send pictures of your dog regularly which is nice, especially when you miss them. I would highly recommend Joyce to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter. She is not only a caring individual who will give your dog lots of love and attention, but she is well trusted and you know that your dog is in good hands with Joyce. We will definitely be using her for all.of our dog sitting stays in the future as well.
Joyce loves animals a lot and has been trained by and volunteered at an animal shelter for over three years. She has been a great dog sitter to friends and is an advocate for animal welfare. She will care deeply about your pet and make sure they are well-looked after!
For as long as I've known Joyce, she has always been obsessed with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She's always the first to volunteer to dog-sit for any of our friends. Joyce is extremely trustworthy and caring -- I have no doubt that she would take excellent care of any and all pets!
