Extra Dog/Cat Care

Pet care experience

I’ve been dog sitting for about two years now (I also drop in on cats!). I know how hard it is for pet owners to take care of their pets for many reasons which is why I’ve started to help out, to make sure pets get fed, get exercise, and get attention. I also have a pet, a turtle named Melody. I’m a person who’s very responsible, kind, and understanding to everything a client may need help with. I’m different from other sitters and walkers because I’m currently doing a vocational post high school online course at Penn Foster University to earn my career diploma to become a veterinary assistant. With this it’ll help me get closer to working with pets even more. I know this will be a great experience, especially since this will be the start of a long journey towards my career!

Jocelyn has been very responsive to my schedule changes as I am a teacher and struggle with flexibility in my schedule. She updates me consistently and is willing to implement the training that I am doing with Kylo with a professional trainer during her visits which is above and beyond I can tell he’s very calm with her and I feel relieved at work knowing that she’s checking in on him. Thank you for everything you’ve done for Kylo and I and hopefully he gets to grow up with you!

Jocelyn took great care of Rosa during her walks. Very responsive, on time, and sent lots of pics. Will definitely be reaching out to her again, and highly recommend her.

Very disappointed. I don't know where to start. - Jocelyn failed to give my pet fresh water and change the litter - really basic, routine tasks for any animal, and this was all described in the care instructions - Jocelyn interfered and disrupted my pets bedding, which my pet is particular about. There is nothing in my care instructions to do this, and I am now extremely stressed my pet won't eat or exercise well because of this - It's very clear Jocelyn either didn't read my care instructions or didn't understand, but she made zero attempt to contact me with any questions or concerns - According to a house mate, Jocelyn just.. sat around for 30 minutes on her phone - The house mate asked her to move her car to a different part of the driveway. Rather than repark and complete the necessary, basic, and routine tasks for pet, she just up and left - Ultimately, my house mate had to do *everything* for my pet, which she made clear that she never wanted to do. This is WHY I hire someone. Had I lived alone, I would have been f***ed.
