Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring Animal Caretaker
I grew up around animals-- over my life I've had six dogs and three cats. I have dog sat for extended periods of time for friends and family, the longest being a month spent taking care of two dogs and two cats. I have experience working with large dogs, cats, and puppies. Beyond just experience, animals are a passion for me and bonding with them is my favorite part of sitting!
Cat care experience
Jocelyn also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I have one reactive cat in my home, which is why boarding is not an option. Otherwise, I am happy to provide walks, feeding, and many cuddles for your pets! Additionally, I am happy to provide house-sitting options, such as collecting mail, bringing out the trash, and communicating with landscapers/plow drivers/pool cleaners!
Ratings and reviews
Jocelyn took great care of our pup, munchkin and our house while we were gone. I had absolutely zero concerns. We will definitely use her again in the future!
Jocelyn is an AMAZING pet sitter! She was patient, compassionate and very caring with our two senior dogs, including their ongoing care, multiple medications and their quirky needs. Our 17 y.o. dog needs help on stairs and she lovingly assisted him by carrying him down the stairs. They lived their best lives during their week with Jocelyn and are still standing by the door waiting for her to come "home" even though we ourselves have been back for days. :-) Jocelyn was highly responsible and responsive with our requests for the dogs and our home. She also came over for an early meet-n-greet as well as the day before we left, for keys and final instructions. I trust her implicitly and would ask her back to help with the dogs in a heartbeat! I highly recommend our favorite new friend!
We had an excellent experience with Jocelyn. She took great care of our animals and our house. Will definitely hire her again and would recommend her to anyone!
Jocelyn stayed at our home for a week! She cleaned up after herself, took our dog on walks and played fetch with her! She updated us with photos and we will definitely be using her again for our next trip!
Jocelyn is exceptional at pet care. She walked and sat our pets for a month, keeping them happy and our house pristine. Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!
Jocelyn watched my dog Ace who is a border collie. She took the best care of him. Jocelyn took Ace on walks, sent me photos, updated me on how he was doing, and genuinely cared for my pup. I can't recommend her enough!
