Adventuring with pups since 2010

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Jocelyn and I'd like to take your pup on an adventure. I am an avid dog and cat lover. I joined Rover so that I could spend time and care for dogs and cats. I personally have taken care of pets ranging from Aussiedoodle to Chesapeake Bay Retriever to Saint Bernard to my personal Blue Russian feline fiend. Every four legged family member is different and requires specific needs to make sure they are the happiest they can be. I have experience with pet dietary restrictions, pets with high-energy needs, and pets that have been rescued. I enjoy being able to make a connection with a pet and make sure that their needs are being met. I look forward to working with you and making sure we can make the best routine for your pet.

Jocelyn was so great with our 2 dogs! She provided detailed updates throughout the 4 days she stayed with them and followed all our instructions. I’ll definitely be calling her again next time we need to travel and can’t bring the pups!

Jocelyn was absolutely amazing! We needed a dog sitter for our wedding weekend and from our first conversation we immediately felt at ease. She came so prepared for our meet and greet (she read up on our dogs profile and came with treats). And during the actual weekend she was so communicative with us (sending updates and pictures). Jocelyn is absolutely the best and we know they loved being around her because they were worn out from their walks and all the snuggles. I’m forever grateful knowing they were so well taken care of while we were away!

Excellent communication from pre-booking, during the stay, and closing out. Though it was the first time leaving my dog behind for a trip, Jocelyn made me feel 100% comfortable that my dog and apartment were taken care of. Will continue to book with Jocelyn!

Jocelyn is amazing with my two dogs and so easy to work with. She is super flexible, always works to figure out a way to do what's best for your dogs and you couldn't even tell she'd stayed at our house. I'm a little bit last minute with everything and she is unfazed. I highly recommend her!!

Safety, trust & environment

Within my home, I do not allow boarding. I have my own feline fiend who likes her space and freedom to not be imparted on. Within a client's home I enjoy spending time and playing with any pets to make sure that they are engaged during a stay. Upon a request I do like having some information about the pet that I am staying with.

Information Jocelyn J. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting your pet I would like to know their temperaments, behaviors, allergies, liked treats, schedules and routines already set. If you have anything you would like me to specifically do with your pets; ex: do you have a route that you already take them on? Have they had any previous incidents with other people or other animals?

A typical day

Based out of Wicker Park, most walks will be around the city to the 606, through the historical neighborhoods and parks. If permitted in the dog parks depending on each pet's comfortability and safety.
