Highlights
Pet care experience
Gentle & Attentive Pet Care
I’ve been a lifelong pet owner, caring for both cats and dogs throughout my life. Over the past year and a half, I’ve also opened my home as a foster, welcoming four animals (two cats and two dogs), each with unique personalities and care needs. Through fostering, I’ve gained hands-on experience supporting pets with medical conditions, including allergies, feline asthma, and post-surgical recovery. I’ve also worked closely with a professional trainer to better understand and manage reactivity in dogs, giving me practical tools to support pets who may need extra patience and structure. In addition to fostering, I’ve been trusted by multiple households as a repeat cat/dog sitter, caring for their cats across several visits and maintaining consistent, attentive care each time. In addition, I’ve cared for a family dog with epilepsy, administering daily liquid medication (Keppra) and ensuring consistent, attentive care. I approach every animal with compassion, attentiveness, and a deep respect for their individual needs, aiming to provide a safe, calm, and nurturing environment while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jocelyn provided excellent care to our senior dog Milo. She took the time to understand his routine, his pace, and the little things that we asked for to keep him comfortable and happy. Jocelyn provided regular updates with the best photos. Seeing him relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for made being away so much easier. I highly recommend Jocelyn to anyone, especially those with pets who may need that extra level of care.

Schedule
I am currently a self-employed psychotherapist that works fully remote, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to attend and provide love & care to your pets (feeds, walks, pets and attention).

Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, pets are supervised in a clean, pet-friendly space, and I take care to maintain routines that help them feel comfortable and secure. Although I am located in Rittenhouse, my apartment complex is calm and quiet, which reduces chances for environmental stress on pets. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I respect each home as if it were my own and follow all instructions closely to ensure consistency and safety. I provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind of the owners.
