Safety, trust & environment
I am sort of a clean freak, so I make sure that your home will be in better condition than how I left it. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize safety and trust. I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions, since that is crucial to ensuring their pet's well-being. Building a bond with both the pet and the owner is essential; I provide regular updates and photos to maintain open communication and peace of mind. Creating a nurturing environment involves more than just meeting basic needs; I offer companionship, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection to ensure each pet feels loved and cared for while their owner is away.
Information Jocelyn J. would like to know about your pet
Understanding your pets ahead of time allows me to provide the best care possible. Details like dietary needs, medical history, behavioral quirks, and favorite activities ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for both you and your furry friend. Transparent communication ensures I can meet all your pet's needs with confidence and care.
A typical day
A typical day starts with morning walks to energize and explore the neighborhood. Back home, it's playtime with toys and games, followed by some training sessions to keep their minds sharp. Afternoon outings to the park or nearby trails offer new adventures and socialization. We wind down with some relaxation, whether it's cuddling on the couch or enjoying some gentle grooming. Each activity is tailored to the pet's preferences and energy levels, ensuring a day filled with fun and enrichment!

Pet care experience
My journey in pet care began in middle school, dog-sitting for family members, and expanded to various local families during high school. I've ventured beyond just dogs, extending my care to cats as well. As someone who never had a pet growing up, I have a deep appreciation for them. I also regularly walk my brother's trio of dogs—ranging from a husky to a yellow lab and a beagle—has honed my skills with dogs of all sizes. What sets me apart is not just the breadth of my experience, but my dedication to understanding each pet's unique needs and providing tailored care, whether it's training lively puppies or offering gentle support for senior pets.

Reviews
Jocelyn was fantastic!
Jocelyn took great care of my three cats while I was away! She was a great communicator and made sure to follow all directions and was sure to clean up any messes they made. They were in great hands while I was gone with Jocelyn!
She was great with the pups and provided lots of pictures which is wonderful.
Jocelyn impressed me with your detailed response to my request. Clearly, she had read the profiles and gotten acquainted with the care of my two 8-month-old kitten siblings before we even met. Jocelyn took photos and videos during each of her four visits, surprising me with her ability to video the cats jumping up to grab the feather on a string while she swung the stick around. Upon my return, the cats were eager to go out, but they did not appear angry or traumatized by having to stay indoors for two 48+ hours. I can only guess that Jocelyn kept them company and helped to stimulate play, love, and affection.
