Safety, trust & environment

I treat pets like I treat my own, with patience, consistency, and close attention. I carefully follow any instructions you leave, keep pets secure on walks or in the home, and check in if I have any questions. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.

Information jocelyn r. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about any special needs, routines, triggers, or behaviors ahead of time. Information about leash manners, energy level, feeding habits, and comfort with other dogs is always helpful. if you’re working on any training things too, let me know so I can provide some consistency!

A typical day

A typical day includes morning and evening walks, feeding at regular times, plenty of play breaks, and relaxed downtime. I like following the dog’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I enjoy keeping dogs engaged through walks, playtime, and exploring new smells in the neighborhood. We’ll play simple games, spend time outside, and balance activity with calm rest time. with my own dog I like to spend time at the beach with them so if that’s something you pet may be interested in, we could do that! I know how important peace of mind is, so I’m always happy to send photo updates and quick check-ins during walks or visits to let you know how things are going.

Pet care experience

I’ve spent years caring for my own dogs and helping out with friends’ and family members’ pets. I’m very comfortable with daily routines like walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training reinforcement. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and energy level and do my best to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away. my dog struggles with anxiety, so I also have some experience dealing with that.

Jocelyn was great! Did everything we asked of her exactly, and spent some time loving on our dogs. We will definitely be using her again.

I am happy to recommend my friend as a dog sitter. She has cared for my dog on multiple occasions, and my dog is both very anxious and extremely high energy, which can be a challenge for even experienced caregivers. From the start, she was patient, calm, and attentive to my dog’s needs. She took the time to understand his triggers, routines, and quirks, and she handled his anxiety with genuine compassion and confidence. I always felt reassured knowing she was watching him because she stayed consistent with his schedule, made sure he got plenty of exercise, and provided a calm presence that helped him feel safe. What impressed me most was her ability to manage his high energy in a positive way while also being gentle and reassuring when he became anxious. My dog clearly trusts her, which says a lot, and he is always happy and relaxed when I return. I would not hesitate to trust her with my dog again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, caring, and dependable dog sitter.
