Vacation Getaway for little dogs 💕

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting for over ten years, and just started sitting on Rover. I have experience with blind, senior and rescue dogs. I have a soft spot for small dogs especially, but love all dogs. My dogs are my world and I understand that you are putting the utmost trust having me watch them.

Our old girl is a special needs, senior dog that needs extra care. Jocelyn did an amazing job taking care of her and bringing her on walks in the doggie stroller. Abbey loves spending time with Jocelyn and her sweet doggies. Abbey was so relaxed and comfortable when I picked her up, it was clear that she’s one of the pack. And the adorable photos that we received during our trip was an absolute delight. Thank you for always taking such great care of our sweet Abbey, we are eternally grateful. ❤️
