Availability

Right now, I am on summer break and home from school, and I am currently only working a part-time job. On days I do work at my part-time job, I’m usually working from 8-230pm 3-4 days a week, so I will usually be available outside of that time period on my working days. On non-working days, I typically have open availability. Since I am around animals pretty much 24/7, caring for them is part of my usual routine, making me very passionate and comfortable around animals.

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, one of my dogs is reactive and doesn't take well to new doggy friends, so care at my house would not be possible. However, in terms of staying in the owner's home, I would bring over some toys and other things dogs love, like treats, and I could even bring a splash pad for those who like water! I would make sure the dog is my number one priority and be on top of what their daily needs are. For cats, plenty of catnip and fun will be involved!

Information Jocelyn G. would like to know about your pet

If your dog/cat has any allergies or preference toward certain foods, please let me know! I would also like to know if there are any things that your pet is uncomfortable, or even very comfortable, with, and what their typical behavior is like.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks as it provides good stimulation and exercise for the both of us. Some other fun activities I like to do with dogs are play fetch (with a canine canon!), have water time, have park time, and of course cuddle time to wind down! Since cats are a lot more chill, I would give space to those who need it, and, give plenty of attention and play for those more playful ones

Pets

I am both a dog and cat person!

Pet care experience

I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats. I have been working in a dog/cat boarding and daycare facility for a little over a year now. At work, we are responsible for providing individual care for each animal staying with us; we are in charge of providing them with playtime, feeding them, giving meds, and more. Personally, I have had two cats going on about 15 years now, and I have had two dogs (a lab mix and a pit mix) for about five years. I also have the experience of being a dog walker volunteer at a humane society!

Jocelyn was very professional and took great care of our dogs when we went on vacation recently. Highly recommend her! She sent many pictures and updates throughout her stay with our boys and took them on many walks.
