Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration

Can provide daily exercise

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!

Information Jocelyn M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your pet cannot be left alone for a full work day! I also do not do well with excessive barkers!

A typical day

I love to help the pet feel as comfortable as possible by mimicking their routine when their parent is home! Whether that be waking up at 5 am, sleeping in and cuddling, multiple daily walks, or extensive fetch in the backyard, I’m happy to help!

Caring Animal Caretaker

Pet care experience

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!

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!

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!
