My social life mostly involves textbooks and tail wags! I spend a lot of time at home studying or relaxing, which makes pet care an easy and enjoyable part of my routine. I like to work with each owner to find what schedule and style of care fit best for their pet’s needs. You can trust that your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
In My Home: Your pet will have a cozy, safe space where they can relax comfortably, especially if they prefer quiet or personal space. I provide structured routines with regular feeding, walks, and playtimes, always keeping an eye on their comfort and stress levels. Pets are allowed on the furniture. If you'd like your dog to be crated, please provide your own crate. In Clients’ Homes: I ensure each visit feels familiar and comforting for your pet, sticking to their routine as much as possible. I refresh food, water, and any bedding as needed, and provide companionship and plenty of play. My focus is on creating a seamless transition so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away.

Information Jocelyn J. would like to know about your pet
I like to know a bit about your pet’s personality and routine ahead of time, like how they do on walks, whether they’re nervous around new people or animals, and any favorite toys or treats. It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, medication needs, and any house rules or quirks that make them feel comfortable. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels right at home ☺️
A typical day
For dogs who enjoy the outdoors, I offer nature-filled walks around Lincoln Park or nearby parks, where they can safely explore new sights and smells. I also live nearby a large and active dog run that my pup clients LOVE going to! I have my own balcony and we regularly enjoy sunbathing outside in the warmer months ☺️ I provide interactive playtime tailored to each pet’s personality, whether that’s a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or a gentle puzzle games for more reserved pets. For calmer pets, we’ll have relaxing cuddle sessions, or I’ll give them enrichment toys to keep them engaged. I adjust each activity based on their comfort level, making sure they’re happy and entertained!

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Jocelyn! Based in McGinley Square, Jersey City, I offer flexible pet care with experience handling all kinds of personalities, from bouncy pups to chill cats. My own toy poodle, Honey, is friendly but prefers her personal space, and my two cats are wonderfully independent. I’ve cared for pets big and small, energetic or easygoing, and always incredibly lovable. As a fourth-year neuropsychology student, I spend most of my time studying at home and am only out a few hours a day for class or my internship. I tend to read my textbooks aloud while studying, and every fur baby I’ve looked after seems to enjoy a mini lecture on neural systems! 🧠🐾 Whether your pet wants cuddles, quiet company, or a walking buddy with treats in her pocket, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐶🐱💕
Reviews
Great communication before and during the booking! Jocelyn is very friendly and was amazing with my puppy! I would 100% recommend and use her again, thank you!
Tito loved Jocelyn!!! Have used her multiple times and will continue to do so. Very communicative! Sends me lots and lots of videos and pictures, which makes me so happy and helps with missing Tito while away! Thanks again.
Jocelyn was great. When our travel plans changed last minute she was flexible. Sent us updates and left the house clean.
Jocelyn is so great with my dog. She also goes above and beyond to come pick him up for me and drop him off when I am home. He slept for 2 days after all the play time he got while staying at Jocelyn's house. I'll be a repeat customer for sure. Thanks for everything Jocelyn!
