Your pups second best friend!!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Jocelyn! I am a Texas native and graduate of Texas A&M. I have been caring for animals since I was given two little kittens at the age of 5. Since then, dogs, more cats, birds, turtles, hamsters and fish have all made their way from shelters into my family’s home. Pet sitting was my first ever job experience, and something my friends and neighbors continue to call on me for.

Jocelyn took great care of our dog Fynn. We got photos of many happy walks and she kept us updated on how he was doing. She took great care of the house as well. We hope to use her services again!

Jocelyn did a great job with our two dogs! That’s not always an easy task since one is full of energy and the other a bit more anxious, but Jocelyn made sure both dogs’ needs were met. Through our time away she was communicative and helpful, and we returned home to two happy dogs.

Fantastic experience. Jocelyn is incredibly caring, communicative and trustworthy. She provided lots of updates about our puppy, left our home clean and took good care of our pup. Would hire her again to housesit/care for our retriever.
