Safety, trust & environment

I will not offer services in my own home. In your home, I will discuss the location of all necessary items, if areas are off limits, and who to contact for an emergency. I will be sure to understand your dogs' needs and your rules.

Information Jocelyn B. would like to know about your pet

It is important that I know where your dog is with various training goals (house training, barking, biting, etc). In addition, I want to know specific behaviours you want your dog to do or not do.

A typical day

I can find fun in almost any outdoor activity. It may be walking around the neighbourhood, fetch at the park, a swim, or going to for a hike! When indoors, I will engage your doors with the toys you have and any training you are doing.

Pet care experience

**WILLING TO PROVIDE SERVICES ANYWHERE IN THE SOUTH/NORTH END, WITH MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR HOME STAYS I realized recently that I am the default pet sitter for my friends. Hopefully, I'll become a default for you as well! Whether it is a dog, cat, or hedgehog, I am always happy to look after a little family member. I grew up in a family full of animal lovers, and that is a trait I have as well! Over the past few years, I've been responsible for weekly care for a dog from 8 weeks old (he's 3 now!). I have a variety of experience looking after dogs big and small, young and old. In my spare time, I volunteer with Elder dog walking many different dogs for seniors in the HRM. These dogs have a variety of needs and interests, but I always try to make their day the best! I've cared for cats of all ages (and personalities). I'm a graduate student with the option of remote work. As a result, my schedule is flexible. I have a few consistent commitments throughout the week, but am happy to work with you to figure something out :) When looking after your dog, I want to be sure I know everything there is to know. What toys are their favourite, do they take medication, and how much food do they get? For walks, it is important to me that they have the appropriate gear to keep them safe (like a harness and a light if it is night). I'll treat your baby like my own, and I promise I'll keep them safe!

Jocelyn was a wonderful with Hippo. She customized his walk to what Hippo was 'telling' her he wanted that day. She was an excellent communicator and sent several daily pictures each time. Would absolutely recommend and will hire Jocelyn again.

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.
