Cats

Availability

I’m currently working full time as a pediatric nurse. Depending on my schedule, I usually am away 8-12 hours at work. However, I always make sure that when I’m cat sitting, there’s no conflict with my work schedule for their needs and make sure that when I’m cat sitting, I’m giving them 100% of my attention. If I’m doing a cat drop in visit, I usually go before or after a shift depending on the owner/cats needs.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for a cat in a client’s home, I usually try to follow their regular daily routine. Being cared for by someone other than your owner can be an adjustment at first so I like to stick to a routine they know can rely on. I try to go to the cats own pace by providing play or cuddles until they can get more comfortable with me.

Information Jocelyne S. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any restrictions with cats. I like to know their routine, any additional needs they might require while you’re away (i.e. medications, etc), as well as how often you’d like to be contacted with updates/photos.

A typical day

I usually ask clients what do their cats love playing with/doing. Some cats love certain toys over others so knowing what they love to play with is important to make sure they are having fun.

Cat care experience

Hi! I’m a full-time nurse with a lifelong love for cats. I’ve taken care of cats since I was 16 years old and have cared for young kittens to senior cats. Working in healthcare has taught me patience, attention to detail, and how important comfort and routine are — especially for animals. Whether your cat needs playtime, medication, cuddles, or just a quiet companion while you’re away, I provide attentive and compassionate care you can trust. I’m experienced with shy cats, senior cats, and multi-cat households, and I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, stress-free, and loved while their owners are away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind during your time apart. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness always come first with me!

Jocelyne was very attentive. She made sure to keep me up-to-date on my cats’ whereabouts while I was away. I would definitely book her again!

Jocelyne is simply phenomenal. She took care of our cat and home for a lengthy period. She provided daily updates and photos while we were away and our cat and home looked great when we returned. We have found our permanent person, Jocelyne, for all cat sitting and home needs. Finally, our cat is older and has medical needs which Jocelyne tended to perfectly. We have already booked her for another trip when we will be away. Thank you, Jocelyne!

Jocelyne was a great pet sitter for our cat! She was very caring with him and communicated very well with us about the instructions.
