Pet care experience

Loving home open for play dates!

Hello! I'm Jocelyn, a paediatric occupational therapist who works in the NHS, and my husband, Terence, works in finance. Our border terrier, Georgie, is truly the most loveable bundle of fun whose favourite day is when there are other dogs to play with. Terry and I both grew up with dogs, and have looked after a wide range over the last few years. Georgie absolutely adores other dogs, and would love to have visitors come for play dates during the week.

Patch loved his stay with Jocelyn and Terence, he had loads of exercise and play time with their dog. We had photos and videos and took home a happy tired pooch. Would recommend!

Jocelyn was amazing. She took such good care of our dog Summer and kept her cool and safe on a really hot day. Great communication too, with lovely pics during the day. Highly recommend and would love to have Jocelyn back!

Jocelyn is so caring, attentive and responsible. We felt completely confident leaving Inca with her. Inca had such a great time playing with Jocelyn’s dog Georgie and we received cute picture updates throughout the day with how they were getting on. We recommend Jocelyn highly!

Schedule

Terence and I work a blend of at the office and WFH, so generally are available most days of the week to look after dogs in our home. We generally are able to do longer walks at lunch time, or before/after work, but always take a few short walks across the day to get some time outside.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog would be welcomed into our home - Georgie very quickly did away with the "no dogs on the couch" rule, but we are also very happy to keep your boundaries in place as needed. Georgie is crate trained, but it isn't an issue if your dog isn't.

We love time outdoors so will take the dogs for walks and to play in the park. We also have loads of toys for them to play with.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or things I need to be aware of. If your dog needs to stay on the lead when going to the park is also important.
