“Hannah was very polite and caring with Oliver. She was very flexible as my schedule had changed from the original booking. So I appreciate that. She shared photos of Oliver and left my home is tact from her visit. Trustworthy and friendly!”

“Jade did a great job! This is the first time that my wife and I, had a cat/house sitter and we were very fortunate to have found Jade. She was excellent. The kiddies loved her and warmed up to her very quickly. She kept the house clean and abided by our rules during her stay. She sent us pictures of our babies, while we were gone, and kept us informed of what was happening everyday. I feel that she is very trustworthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. We plan on using her again.”

“My cat has stranger danger syndrome :-) so to get photos from Jamie of Mama Cat interacting with her was tremendous. I knew I had picked the right person to care for precious Mama Cat! I hope to be able to request Jamie again and again and again. Thank you, Jamie, for being Mama Cat's companion while I was away.”


“Lyla is great with our pups. She was willing to come meet us and our pups before her stay. She kept in contact with us while we were gone. She even took the time to send pictures of the pups activities!! We would definitely have her again!”

About: My dad always had and trained dogs when I was growing up. I enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. Dogs are a wonderful part of a family and teach us about relationships. I work 4 days a week. I’m available 24/7 Friday, Saturday & Sunday. I’m also available Thursday evenings after 6 pm. I live in a pet approved apartment complex where we have plenty of walking areas for pets. They will need to be leash trained or small enough I can carry them to our fenced in pet area for potty/ outdoor play time. I have two cats but have no problem with keeping them put up in my bedroom while your pet is staying with me. They are both spayed and neutered and have their vaccines. I would love to have your pet stay or I can come to you.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life growing up with dogs, cats, and even small animals gave me a strong foundation in compassionate and attentive pet care. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through while others travel, where I stayed in people’s homes and looked after their animals like they were my own. I’ve also spent time fostering animals, helping them adjust to new environments and providing them with love and routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, playtime, or just companionship, I’m experienced and comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments from playful puppies to shy rescues Pets are naturally part of my daily life! I have two cats of my own and have fostered animals in the past, so caring for pets is already built into my routine. Whether it's feeding, cleaning, playing, or giving love and attention, I make time each day to ensure animals feel safe and happy. I'm home often, which allows me to give pets the consistent care and companionship they deserve throughout the day. In my home, pets are treated like family. I offer a calm, welcoming environment with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely explore or relax. We also have a peaceful pond area that many pets enjoy watching. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just quiet companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always aim to keep their routine consistent, give them comfort, and respect their space like it’s my own.

Cottonwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jamie was absolutely wonderful with Oliver. She was punctual, very communicative, and followed through on everything exactly as discussed. I really appreciated how easy it was to coordinate with her and how consistent she was with updates. Oliver was well cared for, and it gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would definitely book with Jamie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

Jamie stayed at our house with our three dogs and kitten while we were out of town for three days. Right from the meet and greet, she was great! Very knowledgeable and compassionate. Two of our dogs are older and handicapped, requiring a bit of special attention. She was very understanding and reassuring. She provided periodic updates throughout the stay and was very good with communication. The house was left in the same condition as we left it and she even put her linens in the washer for us! Will definitely be using her again.
