Cat Pro / Dog walker / Pet sitter
Pet care experience
I am a professional dog walker, pet sitter, and I have my own Cat Behavior Consulting business. Most of my life I have cared for dogs, but over the past few years I have moved toward specializing in cats. This is both because I LOVE them, but also because they are so misunderstood and need more people who can advocate for them. I walk several dogs for clients on an almost daily basis. When I am not caring for dogs, I am training with cats, raising foster kittens, or doing TNR (trap/neuter/release) with free roaming cats. I plan to have a sanctuary for sick and senior cats, which is my goal/dream. I have 3 cats, and one walks on leash with us and loves to go on rides in his stroller. I am a big advocate of proper nutrition, and I am well versed in species appropriate nutrition. I hold a certificate in feline nutrition. I also have a certificate of professional dog training through CASI (Companion Animal Sciences Institute). I can care for a variety of animals, including reptiles, fish, and small mammals. I used to have a rabbit, hamsters, and guinea pigs. I am pretty well versed in rabbit care and diet, and regularly offer nail trims and clean their scent glands.
Reviews
Jamie is dependable, punctual and shows how much she genuinely cares for our cat Baxter. She sent messages and a pic while we were out. I'm very thankful that we are able to work with her and would highly recommend!
Jamie was super dependable and punctual. She showed up exactly on time each day and texted me to let me know she was there and how the dogs were doing. She cleaned up after any "accidents" in the house and she sent me plenty of cute pictures of her and the dogs which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She has a super sweet personality too. I will definitely use her next time we travel!
Jaime is the best. My husband and I have odd work schedules and she is always very accommodating, caring and professional. Jaime has walked and pet-sat for us for three-plus years; we highly recommend her!
Jaime is my go to girl for when I leave my babies at home. She is more than caring and compassionate with animals of all kinds. She always gives my dogs the attention and care they deserve. I cannot recommend her enough!

Information Jaime J. would like to know about your pet
My favorite dogs are small ones, but I am happy to work with dogs of any size, just so long as they are relatively well-behaved (not overtly aggressive). I only use positive reinforcement methods with training. I am not comfortable using any punishment-based methods on animals, and I will never walk any dogs on a prong collar or choke chain.
A typical day
I am happy to take your dog(s) in the car with me for an adventure, either on a local trail or even just a new neighborhood. I am equally happy to walk around your neighborhood. I like to mix it up to keep things interesting, but my primary concern is your dog's happiness and comfort level.
