Certified Dog Lover
Pet care experience
Hello, I am currently a lawyer living near Union Square. I am back working in the office full time but can take dogs that are trained to be alone during the day. I am open to additional hours on the weekend, especially for drop in visits or walks. I am also available for week and weekend dog sitting, including overnight stays or daily drop-offs. I do my best to keep my calendar as updated as possible. When it comes to dogs, I am a huge lover. I grew up with a cockapoo who lived to be 17 years old. During the pandemic, my brother and I drove to Georgia to rescue a 90 pound Old English Sheepdog, who currently resides with my parents in NJ. I have been asked by family friends on multiple occasions to come in to their homes to feed, walk, and play with their dogs and cats while they are on vacation. I have a a concrete schedule and have my own transportation. I am active and enjoy long walks, running, and playing with dogs. I live within 15 blocks of some of NYC's best dog parks- Madison Square, Union Square, and Washington Square. I can also empathize with owners who just want someone to sit for a period time with the dog or oversee feeding time. Please reach out and I am happy to find a plan that works for us both. Warmest Regards, Jocelyn

Having rescued a 90 pound OES, we have leash trained her and she has even come to stay with me in NYC, as scaredy-cat dog. I am very comfortable with different types of harnesses, leashes, and will always discuss how your dog walks. Within my home, I have no hazards that aren't pet friendly, as my dog has stayed here before. I ensure the pet has enough space for their bed/comforts. Happy to provide more info upon request.
Information Jocelyn R. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences, but prefer to know how your dog handles meeting new people. I am not afraid of any dog, but like to know the personality of a dog before hand. I would also be interested if there are any issues with your dog when it comes to walking (i.e.- leash biting, barking at men, only going where there is grass/tree present).
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for longer walks, especially in the spring months. If your dog is a runner, I love to exercise with a pal alongside me. I am happy to take the dog to areas of your recommendation or explore parks and areas near your area or mine!

I am very active and love taking long walks during lunch and after the day ends to get up from my desk. I love to walk and explore new neighborhoods of NYC. I am happy and willing to discuss your pet's schedule and see how we can make it work.
