Pet care experience

Pets are our one true companions

I grew up with fish, a hampster, and a tiny dog with a brave heart. She was a rescue from the SPCA with an abusive past and first came to her us with a cautious, timid behavior as she arrived at her forever home. As I grew up, I saw her grow comfortable and confident in our home. She felt safe to bark, play, and eat freely around her family. When I was a teenager I volunteered at the PSPCA and learned basic training skills as well as valuable experience with multiple breeds of dogs. I shortly returned to volunteering in college and thoroughly enjoyed it. In my experience of over five years of pet-sitting, I’ve seen cats blossom from their initial under-the-bed habits of apprehension, to greeting me every day with a headbutt to my hand. I see previously apprehensive dogs greet me every time with an excited tail and spin, rather than their natural bark at the unknown. Connecting with animals and giving them the care they deserve is invaluable to me. And as my headline says, they will always be our one and only true companions. I understand completely the kind of worries an owner can have about leaving their pet in someone else’s care. It’s not easy to separate from a beloved companion, even if for a short time and with someone you trust. I will always prioritize your pets safety, communication, and the responsibility that is pet care. Your pet’s well-being matters and I do my best to prove that they are in good hands. Every visit I send a couple pictures of your pet(s) to you if you would like that. If I am housesitting, this can mean sending sets of photos twice a day, typically during feeding time, walks, or play. Having photo proof of both their care and their cute, happy faces makes a difference. If you have any cameras inside the house, please inform me and we can see if we’re still a good fit. I’m quick to respond to any texts and will always ask questions if I feel there is anything of concern. I keep aware of the care of your home’s environment and ensure you come back to both a happy pet and a happy home. You should never come back to a mess to clean up after a long trip, or to a sitter who has been irresponsible with house care. Your home is your space and I respect that. Let me know how I can help make your time away less stressful, and your pet’s time at home just as joyful.

Safety, trust & environment

I send a routine set of photos during the morning and in the evening. These may feature meal time, play, or nap-time. I will always reach out with major updates and if any questions arise. If you will not have access to service, prefer not to be sent photos, or expect time differences please inform me. Please send me a document or pictures of notes that can be clearly read at least three days before a sit, preferably as soon as your time allows. I like to have a basic schedule of your pets usual or preferred routine available for me via note (picture), text, email, or document. My preference is that it is shared via google docs or word document, but I am flexible. I need these notes to be sent prior to the sit so that I am adequately prepared. Depending on the length of the sit and time prior to the request, the time I would need this by would vary. However, the sooner is the better so that we can smooth out any missed information or details. Good details to include: Feeding instructions Medication instructions Walk needs, length of time/distance, and if you’d like to include, preferred routes. Estimate of usual bed and wake time (including potty breaks) Any house rules Neighbor and/or emergency contact(s) Vet information and insurance Passcodes (wifi, doors, gate code) Trash days, gardeners days, cleaners days Mail key and number if applicable Garage key if applicable Will you have a mail block while gone? Need checking for packages? Anything else you’d like to share Consistency is key for your pet while you're away on vacation. Having similarities to their usual routine can help resolve any anxiety at the unfamiliar situation. They're already in a familiar environment, why shouldn't they get familiar comforts and care? You should always come how to a safe, healthy, and happy pet. During Meet n Greets, I always make sure to note down important details shared with me. Meeting prior to a booking is an opportunity to interview each other, to understand if we meet each other's criteria and if I can provide the right kind of services for you and your pet. This communication is an essential part of a good client and sitter relationship and builds a strong foundation for a potential happy, relaxing, and pet-photo filled vacation. Google docs, Word documents, email, or text will suffice. Important information to include would be your pet’s vet, emergency contacts, and any neighbors numbers if needed. I appreciate whatever time you can make to ensure I provide the best care possible to your pet and home. Notice: It is your responsibility to inform me of your pet’s behavior and if they have been pet-sat before. Pet’s can act differently while their family is away, especially if they have separation anxiety. Honesty is a must in order to ensure your pawsome pet has a good homestay. Unsure of where to start on the notes? Here's some guidance: Passcodes (doors, gates, garage, wifi) Garage key if applicable Mail Key Garbage days Times and details on meals, medications, and walks (Not required) Their usual route of walking. (Google maps or a printed out page is good guidance).ency information Neighbor’s and/or other emergency contacts

Since this was my first time using a house/pet sitter, I was a bit apprehensive, but my dogs and cat absolutely loved Jae. She is very good with animals and is quick to contact you if she thinks something is amiss. We were very happy with her service.

Jae was amazing with our fur babies! We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and that’s all we could ask for! They sent us many pictures and updates throughout their stay which allowed us to enjoy our trip, knowing the dogs were okay. We would definitely like to use Jae in future!

Schedule

I am currently working during two hours of the day one during the evening and one during the morning (until the 25th of June). I’m available to do drop-ins in the Folsom area around those times (11:30am-5:30pm) on any day of the week. For house sitting, if you’re located in Folsom and I can work around the hours already taken, then that would be ideal. After June 25th, I will change my settings to reflect areas I’m available in. My availability will be from June 25th-28th for both housesitting and drop-ins. Any time of day (preferably late morning any time evening). I am having a procedure on July 29th and will need to see how much time is needed for recovery, then. I predict it will be at least a few days to a week or two. I won’t be available from July 10th-13th. Soon after, I plan to go on a two week trip to visit relatives in another country. My availability for August is taken up both due to needing to adjust to my new college schedule and the possibility my wisdom tooth surgery will be scheduled some time then along with the needed recovery period. As of now (June), I predict that I should have availability after the month of August until October. My college classes will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Late morning time and about 6-8pm for my evening class. This means if I were to take drop-ins/house sitting, I’d probably need to feed a pet before my first class and before my second one. So, 9am ish in the morning and 4-5:20pm for evening. Outside of these hours, I would likely stay with your pet a lot of the time during the week if house-sitting.

Be transparent about your pet’s habits. Inform me if your pet has never been sat before as they may act differently. I will need to know if they have any support needs or bad habits: peeing in the house on people, biting, damaging items, scratching, or barking at night. I am a light sleeper, so being able to sleep through the night without disruptions is essential to giving proper care. I prefer to sleep separate of pets in my bed, however, depending on them I may love to cuddle up to them during bedtime. Note: This would apply to dogs on the small to medium size group.
