Responsible & experienced pet lover

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've also looked after senior dogs. In my spare time, I volunteer with Elder dog walking two sweet boys. 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 took great care of our two dogs! She stayed at our place for two days with them and they were so happy with her. She was flexible and adaptable! Definitely recommend :)

Jocelyn is amazing! She kept our dog great company while we were away for the night. We never had any worries at all. We came home to a happy pup and our home was just as the way we left it. Highly recommend! :)

Jocelyn is awesome! She responded to my last min request, and the whole experience was smooth. She went above and beyond exercising Emma and walking extra miles! I hope she will be available to take care of Emma again. I highly recommend Jocelyn!

Jocelyn has been watching my dog for the last few years and I'm always confident that she will be tended to the utmost care. My dog is now a senior and has specific needs, which Jocelyn has been excellent in meeting those requirements. I know whether it is a walk or an overnight stay, my pup will be in safe and secure hands. I highly recommend Jocelyn!

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.
