Safety, trust & environment

I tend to my cat’s needs by providing basic needs such as giving food, water, and medication twice daily. I also brush her fur and play with her daily. I give my dog’s their basic needs, walk them and play with them outside daily. As well as, providing time for cuddling for both my dogs and cats.

Information Joci S. would like to know about your pet

If there is a requirement of medication, the typical behaviors of the pet, any special feeding schedule, what to do in case of an emergency, and medical attention that the pet may need.

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch with them, play with them outside and with toys, giving treats, and spend time with them. I will cuddle with cats and play with them as well.

Pet care experience

I worked at a dog-boarding facility for a year back in high school. I was walking around 7-9 miles per day walking dogs, as well as playing with them and making sure they are cared for. I am able to administer medicine to both cats and dogs, orally and through shots. I’ve grown up on a farm with numerous cats and dogs present for my entire life.

Joci was great with our mini schnauzer Bo. She administered insulin 2 daily for our insulin dependent doggy and was a great friend to Bo while we were away.

Joci possesses the qualities that make her an exceptional pet sitter. She exudes a genuine love for animals. It is not just a job for her-it is a passion. This passion translates into a level of care and attention that goes beyond the basics. Whether it is feeding, walking, or providing companionship, Joci approaches each task with enthusiasm and a true understanding of the pet’s individual needs. Joci’s experience in working at a dog boarding facility and having her own pets has equipped her with valuable skills. She is adept at handling various breeds and temperaments, ensuring that each pet under her care receives personalized attention. In summary, Joci possesses the qualities that make a great pet sitter – a genuine love for animals, relevant experience, effective communication, reliability, and a commitment to going above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend Joci to anyone seeking a caring and competent pet sitter.
