Availability

Though I’m actively job hunting, petsitting will likely be the only gig I’ll have for a while, so I’m available throughout every day of the week 9AM-6PM to pickup/dropoff pets (with room to improvise later/earlier hours), and the remainder of my time to care for them. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️

Information Jocelyn W. would like to know about your pet

❗️In terms of pickup/dropoff, we usually don’t allow new clients to come directly to our house upon first meeting! For safety purposes, I personally prefer meeting in a public location at a reasonable hour in our general area.❗️ Please let me know ahead of time any and all dog’s medications, special needs, food preferences, past medical emergencies, triggers, behavioral habits, and whether they’re trained (potty, sit, etc). I would love to know their breed(s), age(s), and friendliness level also, just to prepare a sense of what I’ll be dealing with. 😊 Don’t be afraid to share how your dog often deals with certain people (men, children, POC)! We once had a pitbull that didn’t quite trust older black men, so we understand prejudice in dogs can happen! 😅

A typical day

I’m a homebody at heart and love to chill around the house and administer frequent snuggles between lounging about! 🛋️ 🥔 If we have the ingredients at the time, I’m open to cooking a special meal as a treat to share with your fur babies. This usually includes eggs, boiled chicken, carrots, or other healthy pet friendly options we may have lying around! Feel free to offer suggestions! 🍳🥕 I have a habit of running around the house chasing my dogs or vice versa to stimulate a little movement after hours of sitting still. 🏃 While outside, I’m open to walking around our small neighborhood, playing with some toys, or sunbathing in the grass to ensure some good Vitamin D for the day. ☀️ Whatever your dog needs to feel at home!

Everyone needs fur in their life ❤️

Pet care experience

Hello hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a 20-year-old dog lover that recently picked up petsitting in December! 😋🫶🏽 Until recently, I’d grown up with pets my entire life. Since my last childhood Pitbull, Roxy (one out of three total dogs) passed away in July, it’s been difficult adjusting to life without them to share it with me. My schedule feels hollow and incomplete after having spent the last four years with two senior dogs. These four years have given me experience waking up both late and early to tend to a pet’s many needs, and stay up as long as needed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Living in a house of dog lovers, your pet(s) will be both well-cared for and showered with love all throughout their stay. 💕 Having our late girl’s passing so recent, we still have all the living necessities available for use if need be. This includes pet beds, food/water bowls, functional kennels, poop bags, and (unopened) toys. We adore our dogs, and are ready to cherish yours just as much before they return back into your loving arms. Petsitting will provide peace of mind for both me and my clients. Whether you’re away for a short or extended period, rest assured your pet(s) stay with us will be easygoing, well communicated, and overall an experience to remember! 😁

Jocelyn is great with our two very nervous doggies. She is a great communicator and she is on top of all the needs of our doggies. She has been great on dog walks and for boarding!. We feel that she loves our boys as much as we do and have peace of mind that they are in great hands. Highly recommend her to take care and watch your fur babies!

Jocelyn sticks to a very structured schedule in taking care of pets and always tends to the pet’s needs. She is also very flexible and will make herself available. Plus, she loves animals!
