Availability

I am an instructor in a program for public safety professionals. My work schedule is both in-facility and remote. I am always off on Friday thru Sunday and can take house sitting bookings from that timeframe most weeks, even on short notice. I teach year round, generally every other week (twice a month), and set my in-app availability to reflect that.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a two story townhouse. My back yard is rock wall, 5 feet minimum, there are no side gates. Downstairs is all tile or hard floor, my dog(s) have free access to the furniture and I allow boarded dogs the same. All accessible areas of the house are pet proof, doors to the laundry room and garage are closed full time. I only board one dog at a time, and require a meet and greet at the local park to confirm no aggressive behavior towards my dogs. Dogs for boarding must be house trained and spayed/neutered. City ordinances apply, dogs must be microchipped and have a current rabies vaccination. Please provide enough food for the entire boarding period. Your dog will be fed on the schedule you provide, and will be fed separately from my dogs. Fresh water bowls are on each floor of the house and in the back yard. Back yard has a shaded porch. Dogs boarded will have an exercise and feeding schedule agreed on in writing. I can provide as much or as little exercise as needed. Dogs who may be an escape risk can be taken outside on a leash if needed. A harness (not just a collar) is required if the dog is to be walked or taken to the park. Owners must supply a crate if the dog is trained to sleep in a crate. Otherwise it is highly recommended but not required if you bring a dog bed or blanket with your dog’s scent on it for them to sleep on. Unless otherwise requested, the dog will be allowed to pick where they want to sleep, but I’m perfectly ok with them sleeping in my bedroom. My dog normally sleeps on my bed with me most nights, and there is room for another dog. -Upon request, and for extra cost, I can arrange for your dog to be the only one in the house, I can accommodate emergency requests for boarding dogs. For drop-in feeding/walking, I will accommodate the dog’s normal schedule as closely as I can. I do require a properly fitting harness to be supplied if I will be walking a dog outside their home. I strongly prefer the dog have an identifying tag plus their rabies tag on their collar or harness if I am going to walk them outside the owner’s property. Dog walking/drop in/house sitting clients: I require a meet and greet with the owner and their dog at their house. I will NOT bring my dog to those types of bookings. Overnight dog/house sitting clients, my schedule will automatically be updated for days that I am available unless otherwise discussed I will be at your house the entire evening until the following morning, but I can make myself available to work from your house during the day as well.

Information Jaime P. would like to know about your pet

I can accommodate dogs with special needs, special diets, or dogs with behavior quirks. I’ve boarded a wide variety of dogs either with mine or alone. In the event of an emergency or last minute booking, we can accommodate any reasonable request, even a request to have my dogs separated. Read my feedback to see testimonials from last minute or emergency bookings.

A typical day

I have dog toys all over the house, my dogs enjoy playing with them, occasionally shredding them, playing fetch or tug, and if your dog likes this, your dog will fit right in. My dogs are generally indoors most of the day, are left indoors when I am gone.

Pet care experience

*** Please be aware: due to a severe medical condition I was recently diagnosed with and am receiving treatment for, I have turned off boarding and house sitting for NEW clients. I am happy to work with all of my wonderful existing clients. I have also turned off dog walks as I am currently using a cane/walker and cannot do long distances. Thank you for your understanding. *** -I have experience with dogs that have leash or outdoor anxiety and will coordinate with the owner in advance a specific plan for caring for those dogs. -I have significant experience and repeat house sitting clients with dogs that have separation anxiety. We can work out specific details for those types of bookings in advance. -I do not accept house sit for cat only households, nor boarding for cats. I will gladly do drop in visits for cats, and generally prefer to change the little box daily unless specifically requested not to. -House sitting clients, a meeting before the booking is mandatory to discuss details including your expectations. My feedback speaks for itself. I have multiple repeat house sitting, drop in and walk clients. I respond quickly to most requests, and generally have a pretty solid schedule in advance so I know when I'm free. You can see all the different dogs I've worked with, all of those clients have given me permission to post their dogs (and some cats) on my profile. Unless I'm teaching (M-Th April-October) I'm generally available for last minute or same day walk bookings.

Jaime sent me lots of pictures of my fur babies while I was gone and could see they really bonded, which was a comfort.

Jaime was great! He consistently sent updates with pictures and videos which really gave me peace of mind. My dog came back happy and not stressed at all. Jaime even spoiled him with a new toy which was really nice

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
