Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to keep your pet(s) as comfortable, safe, and relaxed as possible. Lots of pets suffer from separation anxiety linked to their owners; my goal is to alleviate those anxieties as much as I can. Nobody wants their pet to be suffering at home when they can’t be there with them. I make sure to do everything in my power to keep their normal routine solidified, and the atmosphere calm and relaxing. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority.

Information Jocelyn S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. I’m very accommodating, just need to know beforehand!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. If they’re up for it, we’ll play lots of games and go for walks to get rid of any excess energy, and keep them active and healthy.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs & cats all my life, and have a deep passion for taking care of animals. I have been house/pet sitting for 11 years for family, friends & neighbors. I’ve been a professional dog-handler in the past, with experience in giving medication, baths, grooming, walks, socialization and general care for every kind of dog; including experience working with dogs on commands and potty training. I also do pet photography in my free time, so expect a couple frame-worthy pics along the way. Overall, I strive to give your pet the best care I can, making sure to keep them comfortable & your mind at ease.

Jocelyn is always wonderful. Very loving, kind, professional, punctual, communicative...Everything we could ever ask for in a pet sitter/visitor. We've used her services many times and will continue to do so.

Jocelyn is amazing - warm, kind, and very intuitive to a pets needs. She did a great job taking care of my high maintenance senior dog and sent me regular updates regarding his care (likely knowing I have bad separation anxiety from him)! I'm very grateful to have found her. 💜

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
