She sent daily updates and Leo was treated like a king. When my husband picked him up he didn’t want to leave lol 😂 we will def use Jocelyn again so he can get pampered every now and then.

Jocelyn did a great job with our Mabel. She was willing to do a quick meet and greet at a nearby park beforehand and was communicative in getting everything situated. Mabel was with another dog and they did great together. Mabel takes a bit to warm up to everybody and eventually did, and we could tell she felt very safe and cared for. We would not hesitate to book Jocelyn again in the future to care for Mabel. Thank you!!!

Schedule

I have plenty of time to be with your animals. I love cuddling with them and won’t have a problem having them in my bed. I am from Riverwoods and it is soon to be my senior year in college but I have time off now. I also love being active and outside.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no concerns about anxious dogs and I know they will warm up to me with time. I can crate your dog if needed. For extra outdoor time, I have a a zip line cord to connect to a collar that prevents them from going past a certain point in the backyard since we do not have a fenced in yard. They can roam around there.

A typical day

Give your pets mental and physical stimulation. There is a park near my house that I have taken dogs to before. I play fetch and go on long walks

Let me know words or phrases they know. It would also be helpful to get familiar with what they do when they want to go out vs want a treat. And other basics such as potty and meal schedule.
