I do work a lot, but that’s never an issue. I’ll always make time for animals! My schedule is super flexible, and I’m happy to adjust. I just ask for a day’s notice for longer visits. Feel free to message me anytime. I’m easy to talk to and we can always work something out!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large, high-fenced backyard with both grass and pavement plus plenty of shade and sun depending on what your pet prefers. My three-floor home has lots of space for indoor care, including room for crates or anything else your pet may need. I’m also happy to come to your home, just let me know what your fur baby likes or doesn’t like. I’m great at following instructions and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved.

Information Jocelyn P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special preferences or needs, whether it’s things they love or things to avoid. This includes allergies, medications, if they’re not comfortable around kids or other dogs, or if they have favorite walking spots (grass vs. no grass, quiet vs. busy areas, etc.). I want to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and fully cared for, so the more I know ahead of time, the better I can prepare!

A typical day

When I’m dog sitting, my mornings start early with some fresh air and sunshine. I love getting outside for a walk or even a run, whatever your pup prefers! I always carry water and a spare bowl to keep them hydrated, and I’m super mindful of the weather and ground conditions to make sure they’re safe and comfortable. I usually bring a toy or two and love taking dogs to the park to burn off some energy. After that, it’s time to relax, cuddle up, watch a movie, and maybe enjoy a few snacks together. I adjust the day to whatever your dog loves most whether that’s playtime, chill time, or anything in between!

Smiley, energetic, and full of love

Pet care experience

Animals have always been a huge part of my life. When I was 11, I helped train a misunderstood Golden Retriever–Rottweiler mix that no one else could handle and I did it with patience, love, and consistency. Since then, I’ve cared for everything from nervous Chihuahuas to big German Shepherds, from Bengals to Calicos to cuddly Tabbies. I’ve always been the go-to pet sitter and dog walker for friends and family, trusted to watch their pets for weeks at a time. Right now, I have a Bengal who’s my absolute best friend he’s smart, playful, and keeps me on my toes. I truly love animals, and I treat every one like they’re my own.

Jocelyn was great! Very thorough updates and was able to successfully give medication daily to our senior cat while away. Very reliable and provided clear communication. Would definitely recommend!

New to Rover and very new to having someone I don’t personally know care for my cats while away. Jocelyn made the full process comfortable and safe. It made being away easier with receiving constant updates and pictures. Thank you so much for your kind and loving care. Highly recommend Jocelyn.

Excellent communication prior to our visit which made me feel at ease with going away and having a stranger in my home caring for my babies. She even sent me a picture of my one cat who rarely comes out when we have anyone over so I’m impressed she made her feel safe to come out. I will absolutely book Jocelyn again next time I’m going away!
