Experienced, Bedstuy, 💜 & Safety

Pet care experience

BIO: I have a deep love for all animals ☺️. I believe firmly that animals should always be treated with love. I guarantee you that I will shower your best friend with tons of love, affection and kindness while you're away. I treat them as if they were my own and like if it were my child 💜. My goal is to always keep/make them feel safe so you may feel at ease and have nothing to worry about while away. What makes me different from other sitters is the high level of attention, experience and devotion I offer. I spend every minute with them. I’ve been surrounded by pets (dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs/ small birds) since I was a kid, plus I have a 6yr old pup that I adore, so I have lots of daily experience 😊. DAY CARE & BOARDING GUIDELINES/HOURS DAY CARE: - Between 7am - 7pm - Stays are between an 8hr window - Beyond 8hrs a fee of $10 will be added for each extended hour. BOARDING: - Nightly stays are 24hrs between 7am - 7am next day. - Drop-off times are after 7am & Pick-up times by 7am. - For pickup times past 7am a fee of $10 will be added for each extended hour. If past 3 hours a Day Care rate will be applied. EXPERIENCE: I’m patient, very dependable and always giving a friendly calm energy to your furry best friend. I have experience caring for dogs/cats since I was 5yrs old. Throughout my life I’ve had 8 dogs (puppies to seniors/small-big size) and 3 cats (kittens to seniors). I also had 2 bunnies, one guinea pig, 3 turtles and 3 small birds as a kid!😆 I started petsitting for family, neighbors, and friends for about 10yrs. I’m so grateful that Rover gives me the opportunity to care for more amazing animals 💜 HOW I CARE & 💜 YOUR BEST FRIEND: First of all I always prioritize your requests and follow your instructions. I love to pet them, be playful, cuddle and offer comfort. I offer short to long walks up to 2hrs or more at a time if you’d like. I play fetch, play tug, play with a laser or with their favorite toys etc. I can visit/give walks however many times a day needed. I do my absolute best to make sure your pet feels happy, comfortable and gets my complete attention. I change their water, can feed them, clean out their litter, and can provide medication if needed. UPDATES: I keep you updated with photos, msgs on how they’re doing and enable the walk tracker on the app when on each walk. I want to make sure you feel no stress wondering how your furry buddy is doing ☺️ MY HOME in Bedstuy Brooklyn: I live in a clean apartment with my loving small dog. Her name is Cosette and she loves having furry friends over ☺️. We’re walking distance from a park. Smoke free and no children. Lots of comfy areas for your pup to feel really comfortable. Safe private balcony with outdoor potty area.

Jocelyne is wonderful! She was such a considerate and kind sitter. She made sure my dog was comfortable and made sure I was comfortable! She even accommodated my crazy schedule and last minute changes. I will absolutely be using her again!

Jocelyne was super caring on her visits with our cat Darcy and was eager to accommodate to her playing style. She took care of everything we needed so we didn't worry about being away for an extended period. She was very kind, professional, and clear in her communications and always responded quickly to our messages. She was very attentive and sweet with Darcy and sent detailed updates and pictures during her visits. We look forward to booking Jocelyne again!

Jocelyne was wonderful! It was my first time using Rover so I was a bit nervous, but she was very communicative and attentive. My pet is slow to warm up to others but her photos showed she was clearly relaxed and safe in Jocelyne’s care. Made a stressful time much easier, and I’d gladly have her take care of her again!

Jocelyne took a great care of my cat. He's usually shy with new people, but he warmed up with Jocelyne pretty fast.

Information Jocelyne G. would like to know about your pet

It's important to me that your pet has had its shots or is in the process of getting them. Must not have fleas or worms. Please provide as much detail on how you’d prefer they’re cared for, feeding instructions, medications to be given, any important things to be aware of. Thank you!

A typical day

Depending on their personality and ability we could: Play with their toys, cuddle, change walking pace on walks, play fetch with a frisbee/ball/favorite toy, encourage sniffing, play tug of war & tag you're it! For a mellower dogs/cats we can just enjoy company listening to music and playing games that are calmer, use stairs for a workout, play with a laser etc. On walks I take them to the nearest park or dog park. On walks I always encourage their curiosity, sniffing and keep them close by. Always making sure they take their potty breaks.
