Cocoon interview with Jennifer Gladysz:

Our Story: From Brooklyn to the Desert

The journey to Cocoon is as unique as the homes we manage. After growing up in New York and serving in the military, our founder pursued a passion for the arts at NYU. Life then led to building the largest pet care business in Brooklyn—15 years of high-pressure service that laid the groundwork for mastering hospitality.

But the true turning point came while traveling the country with family. Renting out a home in New York sparked a love for hosting, and landing in Joshua Tree felt like destiny. The desert’s charm inspired the creation of Cocoon, a company that combines professionalism with heart to offer an unparalleled hosting experience.
