“Jamiela has been wonderful with my puppy, Enzo! She comes by midday to feed him, play with him, and give him a much-needed break while I’m at work. She’s always on time, very reliable, and keeps me updated with great communication. I know Enzo is in good hands with her, and it gives me peace of mind while I’m away. Highly recommend her!”

About: I am a licensed RVT and CPR certified. I have been in the field about 10 years. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, pocket pets and even some livestock. I am a full time employee for UC Davis. I get off work around 6 and have Thursday-Saturday off with flexible pet sitting availability on Sunday I would ensure I wear clean clothes over every time to limit any unwanted illness. With my job specifically I don't deal with sick animals so that won't be an issue. I am also used to placing animal in crates and potty walks.
“April was very thorough in communicating with me and letting me know how my dogs were doing. She was comfortable working with one of my dogs who is elderly, going blind, and will alert bark at new people. By the second visit it seemed like they were making good progress. I highly recommend. She went above and beyond. I am so glad to find someone I hope to rebook with in the future.”
About: I’ve owned dogs ever since I was a child and have cared for dogs outside of my family for a little over 5 years. I love being able to learn the different personalities of each dog I come across. I also have professional work experience at a dog boarding company for a little over a year. I know how to handle dogs of all shapes and sizes and temperament ranges. I own my own dog, Obie, so I am always caring. I am open most days of the week excluding Tuesdays and Thursdays when I have class. I am available mornings though on those days. I am well versed in adapting to the dogs specific environments it’s comfortable in, matching its energy level and always being comforting and loving no matter what.

It was such a relief, knowing that they were well cared for, while my husband was in surgery all day. What a relief! I would highly recommend Amy and Grisel any time to watch your pets!”
