About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember, whether it was feeding, walking, and bathing dogs. I’ve always loved cats. Some even call me the cat whisperer. I currently work 1st shift 7:00am to 3:30pm every weekday, and have a second job working 5-9 depends on what day of the week I work. Majority of my weekends are free. My cats are very spoiled. They have many toys and get treat’s every morning and on Sunday’s get a special diner. I play with them every night before bed. I do prefer to be paid by venmo or cash.
About: Hi there! I’m Jamie, and if I’m being honest... I love animals more than humans most days. With over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from puppies to parrots—and even the occasional goat—I’ve built a life around making animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether you're headed out of town or just need a hand with your furry (or feathery, or scaly) family members, I'm here to make things easier for both you and your beloved creature friends. My goal? Zero stress for you, and tail wags, purrs, or chirps of joy for them. 🐶🐱🐥 Who I Care For: I care for all kinds of animal companions, including: Dogs (all ages & sizes) Cats (sassy to snuggly) Birds (my personal favorite!) Reptiles & Amphibians Rodents, Rabbits, Goats, Chickens... you name it! If they’re not human and you love them—I want to care for them. 🐕 Dog Experience: Puppies: potty training, basic commands, playtime! Seniors: medication, gentle physical therapy, stroller walks (yes, I have one!) Experience with dogs from 8–85 lbs and ages 2 months to 17 years 🐈 Cat Experience: Comfortable with all cat personalities (aloof, cuddly, spicy) Experience with elderly and sick cats, including medication administration 🐦 Bird Experience: Over 2 years of bird care experience Former bird rescuer & re-releaser (yep, I caught lost birds in buildings!) Passionate about bird behavior, feeding, handling, and enrichment 🦎 Amphibian & Reptile Experience: Experience with frogs, toads, turtles, and even an axolotl Open and eager to follow your specific care routines 🐾 Other Critters: I may not have decades of experience with rodents, bunnies, chickens, or goats—but I follow instructions to a T and learn fast. If you tell me what your animal needs, I’ll make sure it’s done right—with love and care. 💬 My Care Philosophy: Every animal is unique—and so is every pet parent. I never assume I know better than you when it comes to your pet's needs. I’ll love your animal like family, but I’ll always respect your rules, routines, and preferences. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and compassionate. 🌟 New to Rover, Not New to Animals While I’m just starting out on Rover, I bring decades of animal experience and a deep love for every creature I meet. Give me a chance, and I promise—you’ll be able to relax knowing your animal companions are in caring, capable hands. Let’s chat about how I can help make life a little easier—for you and your creature friends. 🐾💛 I’m currently not working and I’m ready to be there to play with your pups or other critters when you need me. I can generally respond to last minute requests if necessary, but appreciate as much of heads up as possible. I have a fenced in yard, one small, elderly and kind of cranky dog, two cats, and three teenage humans (who all love animals as much as I do!). When it comes to caring for your pets in my home, I have to be a little more discerning as I have the needs of my own animal friends to consider. I can care for potty trained, non-dominant, non-aggressive, and very calm dogs and cats in my home. I can also care for caged or tanked creature friends in my home.
“Carol is a great pet-sitter! She was so kind and loving with my cats, and she kept me updated everyday with notes and pictures! This was my second time with her, and she is very reliable. Highly recommend!! Thank you, Carol!!!”
“Sonja was terrific! She stayed with our cat Jingle for 3 weeks while we were on vacation. She communicated well, sent photo updates, cleaned house, watered plants and cleaned up Jingle’s, umm, dead critters in the house! She went above and beyond what was expected and I would recommend her whole heartedly!! Thanks, Sonja😍”

My routine and been built to accommodate my own pets needs, enrichement. It has been pretty easy to include other kids into this routine successfully. I deal with each animal in the unique way they need. I have one dog that is not kenneled, while my youngest is when she is going to be left alone for a couple hours. I have a wonderfully structured house that has allowed to me to keep dogs separate when needed and need constant supervision.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a big heart for all types of animals! I have rescued kittens and other animals since I was young, and there has never been a time in my life where I did not have a pet to care for. My full time job is only 2 days a week, so the rest of my time can be focused on your pet. I walk my own dogs daily and love to be outdoors, so there isn’t a request to far fetched! (Pun intended) Your preferences and concerns will always be the forefront of discussions on how I will care for your beloved fur baby. I’m willing to treat them as my own and no request is too much to ask, after all you are entrusting me with your best friend!

About: I’ve had a dog ever since I was a little girl, up until he passed away at 14, so I’ve learned a lot about dogs. I’ve also helped plenty of my friends with their dogs, especially my close relatives and their three Aussies in the past three years. I’ve helped with potty training them, as well as feeding, watering, walking, playing ball with them. I’ve also helped with two litters of puppies! I do not have a job currently so I have much free time to spend with dogs and cats! I like to volunteer on Wednesdays and occasionally have dance that night too, and Sundays I have church in the morning, so I’m very free. I am very adaptable, and willing to work with all sorts of dogs to make sure they’re happy and safe! I am a bit of a perfectionist and I will definitely make sure that the things you ask of me get done to your standard, as I want to make you and your pets happy!
