Active Dog Family

Hi! I have always loved being around animals. As a child, I was lucky enough to grow up with a loveable Great Dane and several cats. My husband and I can't imagine a life without dogs, and dogs have been a part of our active family for over 19 years. Griffin, a German Shorthaired Pointer has been part of the family for the last 10 years. Six years ago we adopted Merrie, a Plott hound mix. Both are friendly and get along very well with most other dog breeds and sizes. My husband, son and I have flexible work schedules, allowing one, or both of us to be home with your pet a majority of the time. We want to make sure that your pet is comfortable and gets plenty of exercise/play time and as many potty breaks as he or she may need! Our three children (ages 18, 20, and 22) love to spend time caring for and playing with animals as well. We have a large, well-maintained backyard and live in a beautiful neighborhood that is perfect for fun dog walks. If you need someone reliable to drop in on your pet (dog or cat) for company/care/feeding, or for an afternoon walk, we would love to help you with that as well. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting and spending time with your wonderful dog or cat. Thanks!

Jocelyn is wonderful! Just by seeing the pictures that she sent me I can see that Etta responded to her immediately! I felt very comfortable with her and will continue to have her take care of my extended family in the future! ❤️

Jocelyn is truly amazing. Peace of mind and ease while leaving our fur baby in her hands. She took great care of our Nutmeg and our home while we were away. Our house was cleaner than we left it and our girl was super happy! Jocelyn is very trustworthy, kind, and honest. You know how hard it is to leave your pet when you travel, and having someone like Jocelyn takes a HUGE load off. Our dog loves her too, She even gets excited when she sees a car that looks like Jocelyn’s! Definitely our go-to for pet sitting.

Jocelyn took such amazing care of our Nutmeg!!! She is a kind and wonderful person and gave us the piece of mind knowing our pup was well taken care of. Nutmeg is very timid but warmed right up to Jocelyn, you can just tell she is experienced and caring with animals. She went above and beyond caring for our dog and our home and was a joy to have dog-sit. We’ve already booked another stay!! Thank you Jocelyn!!!!!

I would like to know: If any specialized care instructions or medications are required. If separation anxiety is possible. Any concerns about social interactions with children or other dogs. How does your pet prefer to sleep (crated or on a special blanket)?
