Stress less, let me walk your dog!
Pet care experience
All creatures great and small are my passion. Since a young age I have had an affinity for animals and believe every creature deserves humane treatment. I connect well with animals and I respect them, their boundaries and their needs. I have several years experience working with dogs, cats and small animals in the shelter environment. I can feed, medicate, enrich and exercise! I understand fear, reactivity (“aggression”) and strive to understand the individual. I have much experience with a variety of behavioral issues including stranger danger, fear/anxiety, resource guarding, etc. if you need help, please let me know! Did you just add a new member to your family? I want to help make that transition period easier for everyone! I love all dogs but have a special soft spot for senior pups and love to dote on and spoil them. I also enjoy the fun and challenges that come with training and working on behavior.
Reviews
Jocelyn has been a trusted and knowledgeable dog walker for many years now. Every dog I know gets excited when she comes around. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my little ones!

Safety, trust & environment
I am here to enrich your pet's life. I care for pets in a low-stress, fear-free way. We go at their pace and respect their boundaries while also pushing them to create confidence while using positive reinforcement based training.
Information Jocelyn G. would like to know about your pet
Do they have any behavior issues? Stranger danger? Fear/Anxiety? Prey drive? What are their favorite activities? Toys? Treats? Is there anything they're sensitive or allergic to? How are they with other animals? Cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, etc. Are they scared of anything? Do they tolerate children?
A typical day
It's important to enrich an animal's life by giving them physical AND mental stimulation. We can go for long walks around town, down the bike path, explore your neighborhood and all the fun smells and sniffs. We can work on basic obedience and playing brain games. Or we can just sit in the park and enjoy people watching, whatever their speed is!

Availability
I am readily available in the immediate Burlington area. I have a very flexible schedule and would love to get every dog out for at least an hour of fun and activity.
