Jocelyn was absolutely wonderful with my boys! She was extremely communicative, took amazing care of the pups, and even kept the house in great shape while I was away. But... the real magic trick was winning over Tim who can be extremely shy and fearful around new people. Somehow, Jocelyn worked her magic and earned his trust instantly...which honestly deserves its own five star review! 😂 I came home to happy pups, a well cared for house, and complete peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Jocelyn for all your future pet care needs!

Jocelyn took such good care of our fur babies and we got so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely entrust her with our fur babies again. Would recommend her to anyone looking!

Jocelyn has a great love for dogs and cats and has done an excellent job caring for our family pets. We were away for several days recently and she made sure that the pets were safe, well-fed, and received lots of playtime and cuddles! I would recommend her without hesitation to any family who wants their fur babies to receive that extra measure of TLC.

Jocelyn took care of our dog and 2 cats while we were gone for a week. She made sure to spend time petting and playing with all 3. We usually let our dog in the back yard, but when neighbor dogs were causing distress she took him on walks instead. She kept the litter boxes clean, which was something other pet sitters would often fail to do. And she sent us photos regularly so we could see that everyone was healthy and happy.
